Dinky are miniature die-cast vehicles produced by Frank Hornby’s famous Meccano company. Dinky made several TV and movie-related vehicles including many for Gerry Anderson TV productions such as Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, and Space 1999. More info here: Dinky Wikipedia
Dinky Kits… all you need is a screwdriver!
I’m pretty stoked to finally submit a Dinky toy ad to the pages of TVTA! And what a great example, too… this 1974 UK ad from the pages of The Mighty World Of Marvel features three of Dinky’s new models for their Dinky Kits range. The artwork is appealing, particularly the rendition of the Ford Capri Rally Special.
UK. The Mighty World of Marvel. 1974.
US. Kull. 1976.
