It is complete in the box - the artwork was irresistable but clearly as it has survived 50+ years unmade as a toy it didnt grab its owners...............

Nice Tekno artic.

Who makes the Knievel dragster, I haven't seen that one before.

I might start getting some more Tekno, I only have one artic and one Mercedes SL and of course the DSeries which is on its way.

Are you getting into plastic kits now?

One of those Mustang kits would be a great basis for a skilled modeller to make a battered "end of chase" Eleanor from the film Gone in 60 Seconds. A 1/43 diecast has recently been released, but it would be nicer with a few dents!

Dragster is made by Ideal of Hong Kong from 1976 - a diecast brand I have never noticed before although the company was famous for its games in the 1970s

Flea market finds this week - Tekno NSU RO 80 is as well made as any 1/43 toy can be and the other unusual item is a Majo truck + trailer promoting a small local business

That Ro80 is indeed nice. The Ro80 was a popular subject with European diecast producers in 1/43 scale - how many of the other makes do you have? It would be interesting to see some of them compared.

That's very true and I think it would be easier listing the toy and model companies who have not made a model of it.
