D997

Notes

A beautiful classic Dinky aeroplane in unused condition with a sleek and shining silver and white finish, complete ‘Air France’ and ‘F-BGNY’ transfers, as well as the ‘windows’ detail on both sides (so often rubbed or flaked!). Note the drop-down staircase feature too:

Issued between 1962-65. English factory production with 60F and 997 cast on the underside of the wings.
This aircraft is in close to mint condition. It is only upon careful scrutiny that one will see a few little marks which barely detract (e.g at wing tips). So often the white finish on these models can become mottled or discoloured over time – pleased to say that the white finish is original throughout and gleaming bright!
Beautiful display item – the cream of the Dinky crop!
The lift-off lid pictorial box is bright and complete with no splits at corners or graffiti. Minor handling wear only as well as a couple of small punctures to the base sides. Shopkeeper’s price is written on one side of the lid. Nice to see that this example has the card wrap-around packing piece too.
