Dinky renowacja Spitfire Mk II nr 719. Zabawka model odlewany na baterię. Bitwa o Brytanię.

In October 1969, Meccano Magazine published "Win the Battle of Britain with Dinky Toys". As part of the licensing deal with the film company, Meccano offered two new aircraft models, the Spitfire MkII and the JU87B Stuka, both packed in colorful branded packaging depicting scenes from the film. In the video, you can turn on subtitles in your language with a commentary on the action. Dinky's No 719 Spitfire MkII debuted in 1969. It was sold in a special Battle of Britain packaging until 1972. In later years, until 1978 in a blister packaging. Manufactured in 1/65 scale, the model features retractable landing gear and a spinning battery-operated propeller, as well as a realistic transparent cockpit canopy, correct 3-piece plastic exhaust pipes and a radio antenna. A brilliant innovation in the motor was the unusual use of a 2-pole type - instead of the more typical 3-pole or 5-pole. This meant no switch was required and the engine was started simply by turning the propeller. Identification discs were pre-applied to the wings and the kids were able to stick the identification letters in the correct places on the fuselage to complete a very nice model. Mine had no propeller, had a cracked cockpit window, was missing the antenna and the wheels kept opening. I made a new windshield from ultraviolet cured resin. I restored the camouflage characteristic of the RAF air force and repaired the engine's electrics. I didn't quite know what voltage the motor was powered by. I used a 12V A23 battery. Thank you for watching the video, I publish videos with car repair on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
