Call the Coastguard

 I picked up these two for three squid on Sunday's sale.

The Dinky Amphibious Coastguard is in great nick, just missing it's mast and the missiles and pilot. 

I've finagled a new mast from the bits box and have left the glue to dry before a coat of paint.

Hmmm, which pilot to use?

  1. The original pilot figure always looked a bit out of scale with the vehicle, I thought. Ive got one of these somewhere - I'll have to find it now! Bill

    What a great find. Anything Gerry Anderson is usually so expensive.

  3. That wind up General Lee is interesting. I don't believe I have ever seen one before.

    1. Its a wrist racer, which I think came out in the 80's. The clockwork car shot out of a plastic box strapped to your wrist. there were others like the Fall Guy I think.
