I found a long, thin metal rod with a handle beneath the cardboad packing (see photo on the right). I've no idea what this is and if it's part of the kit. I'd welcome suggestions.

A sliding panel reveals the inner workings of the field radio.

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.

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.
