The Quest Continues
|
One or another image in this series may have been posted here before, but Photobucket is holding my links hostage, so here it is again. Dinky (France) model 804. Re-numbered from 821 in 1973 by Dinky. This is a 1:43 scale die-cast replica of the Mercedes-Benz UNIMOG Type 404S troop carrier, which was used by the Swiss Army. The full scale Type 404S was a Mercedes "Ponton" era vehicle made by Daimler-Benz at their truck manufacturing plant in Gaggenau, Germany from 1956 to 1980. Differences between Dinky models 821 and 804

Indeed a very nice model. Our military used these for many years. They now have the modern Unimog. |

Here in the states, Case sold the Unimog, and the military had two versions, backhoe and forklift. The National Guard here had several before they were replaced with JCB HMEEs, which was armored up Fastracs. As a collector of the Swiss Soldier's knives, I've been looking for one of these for some time. It's very well done. |
