No, but the helicopter is clearly based on the early version of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, or Huey, with the short fuselage, and the engine extending out over the tail boom. The toy probably dates from the 1960s.
I've got that Marx one that I sent you pictures of a while ago, it looks similar. I like that sort of look for a helicopter. I'm still searching for a cheap and preferably wrecked version of the toy helicopter they used for Mr Dagenham's chopper!

DeleteI agree Paul, a 60's toy.
DeleteSorry Kev, I'm thick. Who is Mr. Dagenham?
DeleteSalesman from Camberwick Green, I sent you pics of my scratchbuild of him and his sportscar recently.
ReplyDeleteSee. I am thick!
