#597 Pilen - Naught Marina, Lear Jet 36, Boeing 747 Iberia, Cessna 404 As Well As Cessna 210 (Refs. 703, 704, 706, 708 As Well As 710) (Around 1981)

Pilen manufactured a few planes inwards around seven or 8 centimeters (length) size. These were like to other existing unusual toys, for illustration Matchbox or Zylmex.

In Spain, the principal competitors to this type of toy were Mira (#377) as well as PlayMe (#378), although inwards my opinion, none is improve than the other. PlayMe belike had the broadest collection, as well as the most interesting package, but Mira as well as Pilen too had skillful models alongside overnice decorations.

In the illustration of Pilen at that spot were the next models made:

700 / 701 - Messerschmitt BF 109 / Messerschmitt BF 109 Afrika Corps
702 / 703 - Zero / Zero Marina
704 / 705 - Lear Jet 36 Aero Taxi / Lear Jet 36
706 / 707 - Boeing 747 Iberia / Boeing 747 Lufthansa
708 / 709 - Cessna 402 / Cessna 402 Foto-Cine
710 / 711 - Cessna 210 / Cessna 210 Icona

Later, the serial was expanded alongside iv to a greater extent than models, over again inwards 2 decorations each:

Mirage 4000 (grey or white)
Fokker VFW F-27 (red or dessert camo)
C-101 Aviojet / C-101 Aviojet Marines
C-212 Aviocar / C-212 Aviocar Icona

Each model was available inwards unlike coloring variations, or unlike stickers, for example, the Learjet 36 alongside either blueish tail or orangish tail, or Cessna alongside ruddy wings or xanthous wings. The decals ordinarily varied from i version to the other.

As yous tin see, my v planes are silent inwards their master packages, which consist of a cardboard alongside shrinkable plastic on top. I only checked Google as well as could honor whatsoever pictures of this type of package, as well as then mine are the first. They appear to live quite rare. Note that the bird depicted inwards the carte du jour is the Mirage, as well as then this was genuinely the after blueprint for the "Aviones" made past times Pilen. Earlier designs showed a Boeing 747 "Jumbo" Jet from Iberia.

The most interesting matter from the package, however, is on the backcard. The cardboard has iii holes to laid the planes all inwards the same pose as well as a lot of data nearly the plane, all models available inwards the collection as well as other types of toys made past times Pilen. Earlier blister packs had a much simpler backcard, alongside a listing of the start 10 available models.

You tin larn to a greater extent than nearly these planes inwards this book: #376.
