Dinky Toys photography specials

Wow! That's very good to know. You have been really very kind, Richard. Where do you live? I'm Italian and I live in Rome. Thank you again, my friend

You are right Jan. I appologize for that. So, here is mine :

The French army advancing in the heavy terrain of your garden, Richard?

Yes Jan. Absolutely ! it's the new Maginot Line against ... the ants ! :laugh: And accessorily, against the german air force !!

I see, this is serious Dinky war business, Richard! Now some more in the same category, and also the Obusier in comparison with the British 5.5' Medium Gun. See the similarities and for instance the difference in French and British shades of army green. I guess their quality has a 'photo special' character: Please note that - because of the complex assembly of these models - both guns have unusual painted axle ends, painting done after completion of the whole model, and not the separate parts painted before assembly, as usual! Kind regards, Jan

You are right Jan ! and I think that we find the difference of shade between both army green on each Dinky vehicles. Just have a look ! friendly yours Richard

Some more French military manoeuvres, now for reconnaissance on the map: And the reconnaissance vehicle (no. 80a E.B.R. Panhard) in more detail:

with the help of the british army ! this time, it'against the moles ! :laugh: Cheers Richard

Richard, At the bottom of page 1 of thic topic, is this an original Air France Isobloc ? A second one as Robert Goirand has one as well but in a very poor state. Roulet wrote that it will be made in China.

Hi Jacques. Unfortunately it's not ! it's a copy very well done for the members of the french Dinky Club. Cheers
