VEHICLES

Capture Copter

Capture Copter - Vintage 1977-84 (never used & mint). Grab button was missing from original but Palitoy sent me a replacement Grab which works and which I include. I’ve also replaced the rubber bands on the rotor hub assembly and both Grab mechanisms. Also included is the fold-out assembly instructions sheet L74 which has assembly information on both sides.

Interior controls.

I’ve replaced the rubber bands on the rotor hub assembly. The original elastic rubber bands are included with the Capture Copter but they are in poor condition like many other Palitoy Action Man elastic rubber components.

Daimler Ferret Scout Car

Daimler Ferret Scout Car - Vintage 1970-76 (never used & mint). Includes Browning Heavy Machine Gun and detachable rear mounted ‘S’ hook for towing. I’ve added a bedding roll and a cloth satchel to store the 'S' tail hook, the tank commander's earphones and flare gun.

Close-up of the rear of the vehicle and the detachable 's' shaped hook used for towing trailers, 105mm field gun, etc.

Rear of the vehicle with 's' shaped hook for towing clearly visible. This hook is detachable and very easy to lose. When not in use tape it lightly (removeable 3M clear tape) to the seat inside the Scout Car or place it in the satchel I've included. The earphones and flare pistol should also be placed in it and the satchel stowed inside the vehicle.

Includes ammo box and the folded ‘Dispatch Rider’ leaflet L196 that contains interesting information on the history of dispatch riders and the various bike makes. Also included is the Browning machine gun and all of the assembly screws, nuts and bolts.
