Notes

What a find!

The owner informs us:

‘This is a pre-production sample bought from the Los Angeles, California Dinky Dealer in the 1970’s’.

This fine Messerschmitt model has a striking copper finish with a blue base section, white plastic propellor and aerial. Complete labels throughout. Clear intact cockpit.
Sadly very few in this finish were made.

Barely a mark – looks untouched.
Battery operated model (untested).

The bubble pack style box is in pleasing condition with a notably intact, clear and supple bubble top. Sensibly stored out of sunlight. Light shelf wear on the underside.
