SOME SNEAKY PEEKS FROM SIXTEEN 12: THE RETRO EAGLE

Sixteen 12 Collectables have released a few candid photos of their soon to be released Retro 12" Eagle Transporter.

It uses the same green colour scheme as the early Dinky Toy Eagle, and has yellow attitude control thrusters, and chrome engine bells. It even comes with a retro 'Dinky style' display plinth and blister cover .

The model is limited to just 500, and even though the unofficial release date is towards the end of May, it already on its way to almost selling out, thanks to Sixteen 12's  Early Bird discount offer that is still in place, but  is due to close on Friday, 5th April 2019.

Of course, its not going to stop people asking the age old question as to why Dinky decided to paint their Transporter Green? Personally, I think the colour scheme looks fantastic and reminds me of far off days during the mid-seventies, picking my original Dinky Eagle up from Delahunty's cycle and toy shop in Ainsdale Village.
