I picked these up last month, a bundle of old metal planes and copters.
The green jet is Japanese tinplate, the rest are cast metal.
The small headless plane at the bottom is a cap banger I think.
Most of the cast models have the names of the planes on the undercarriage.
An interesting bunch.
Oh boy, I'll take that tin green Starfighter, please! SFZ
ReplyDeleteGreen tinplate - Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
ReplyDeleteRed biplane - Albatros
Cream biplane - Sopwith Camel ?
Monoplane in American markings - North American P-51D Musttang
Monoplane in Japanese markings - Mitsubishi A6M Zero
Green helicopter - early Bell UH-1 Iroquois, or Huey
Not sure about the yellow helicopter
Nice haul Woodsy! I have the green tin-litho jet, but my version has a lever on the side which, when pulled back, activates the spring motor and makes the plane rush forward.
ReplyDeleteNice going, Woodsy! I'd like to pick up a Dinky Spitfire in any condition, for a pretend toy for my puppet film. But having seen them kicking around all my life, do you think I can find one now?
ReplyDeleteI need a Spitfire as the basis of my filming miniature and again, my memories are way out of date.
You used to be able to pick a nice 1/16 scale (Blue Box?) Toy, but not these days!
I've had to settle for a trio of Trumpeter 1/24 scale kits, northwards of £50 each!
Maybe I can find a Dinky style Spit on my upcoming trip to Melbourne...
