Are compliment slips from TV Century 21 common in Dinky models, I found one in a Thunderbirds model box along with the model?
I wondered if the comic give away Dinky models, I'm not familiar with the comic. Anyone here have any info?

It was in a Thunderbird 2 box, the first release with rivets.

I am not aware of this slip being put into all 'TB' models from the Dinky range and as you will have seen on the front cover of the TV Century 21 comic, the featured range for review was Corgi Toys!
However, the license for making diecast toys in the UK based on Thunderbirds vehicles was held by Dinky and its possible some compliments slips were placed in a quantity of models during a film premiere (Thunderbirds are Go! and Thunderbird 6), and the license to toy and model companies was issued by TV Century 21, the company set up by Gerry Anderson's team for the making of merchandise to tie-in with his TV shows and films.
