| Obs. | Politoys came on the market in the early 60's , but only in the midle of the 60's they decide to try the 1/43 scale . Later the firm's name was changed to Polistil , to avoid problems with british Palitoys . The CD was available from 1971 , first as Politoys and later as Polistil . I know 3 diffrent Politoys boxes , 1 plastic and 2 cardboard with window . Polistil boxes I know 2 , those I have . You could purchase a Polistil box with a Politoys marked model . Later the base was changed to Polistil name . Almost all variants have an unpainted metal base , but at the end of production ? the base changed to plastic . In the Dr Edward Force book the E21 is silver and in the Paolo Rampini , The Golden Book of Modelcars the color is yellow and silver . Bellow you can see my 5 different CD . I can't confirm if the rear window opens in any version . I saw in the internet two other variants that I haven't in my collection one metallic brown and one olive green with graphics . |
