Description: | Lead toy. Solid cast model of a single seater aeroplane, at a scale of c.1:100. The plane is a low wing single engine monoplane with a swept back leading edge to its wings, which are correctly canted, and with a canopy flush with the upper fuselage. The rear part of the fuselage and the prop spinner are lost. This is not a factory-made product, as the underside is flat and featureless and the wings disproportionately thick [c.6mm]; it is probably a home-made toy. The supply of strategic materials to inessential industries was curtailed early in the Second World War and most manufactured toys were consequently unavailable until after its close. Suggested date: Modern, 1940-1945.Length: 41.1mm, Width: 71.1mm, Thickness: 10.1mm, Weight: 51.55gms
