~ Boxed Tinplate Louis Marx & Co. Four Engine Skycruiser Aeroplane Toy ~
A c1965 boxed, battery operated four engine ‘Skycruiser’ aeroplane produced by Louis Marx & Co. in the then British Colony of Hong Kong.
The plane has B.O.A.C. markings and moves forward with revolving propellers.
~ Dimensions ~
The box measures 6.5 inches by 6.5 inches (16.5cm), with a height of 2.5 inches (6.5cm).
The plane has a length of 6 inches (15.25cm) and a wingspan of 7 inches (17.75cm).
~ Condition ~
The aeroplane is in excellent condition, with only minimal wear. The battery compartment is clean, it is not working though turning the wheels manually does drive the propellers, so I suspect just a loose connection somewhere.
The box has some minimal wear, the vibrant box work colours remain bright. It retains the original tissue and tail fin card insert.
