Is that some kind of promotional, a regional issue, or simply a standard variation?

A simple question but a very long and convoluted answer that i’ll provide a link to rather than try and paraphrase:

http://dtcawebsite.com/node/6382

Plus Ian (ToysNZ) has a variation guide

http://toysnz.com/Dinky965-G_EuclidRearDumpTruck

I’ve got a lime code 3 and a single colour decal Euclid i’ll Add pictures of shortly.

Fascinating - thank you! (That DTCA website is brilliant, and I've added it to our Quick Links page.)

A few double ups on my existing models but genrally these are in better condition.

As always a bulk lot means I need to switch around the display cabinets and so why not take photo's whilst they're all out.

That is a beautiful collection of Dinky aircraft. Now you need a nice 749 Avro Vulcan to compliment your collection!

Thanks for sharing!

You do not realize how many types of aircraft Dinky have made until you see such a collection. Fabulous and thanks for showing them alltogether Dave.

Agreed Scott, just need to scrape together the likely $2k purchase price and have you on spotter duty there in Canada. As with most “pinnacle” models I’m unlikely to obtain. But I’ve managed to acquire others I thought outside my appetite for lesser cost, so fingers crossed!
