Notes
A sought-after model from the Dinky range of BBC vehicles made between 1959-64. A deep lustrous shade of green with a pale grey stripe and complete detailed decals on both sides.
So often the detachable dish goes astray – nice to see this one is still present (minor repair). Chip to the paint finish on the cab roof which is only visible when the ladders are raised. Another couple of marks at side of vehicle, top edge. Corgi period accessory labels added.
Nice bright ladder components and baseplate/metal parts generally.
The box is bright, clean, fresh and complete. Vibrant colours throughout. Small seam split. Barely any wear besides. Both packing pieces, Instruction Leaflet & Quality Control Tag are included.
