Dinky Toys MSV

Dinky Toys produced a model of the  MSV used in Captain Scarlet. Several different variations of the model appeared.  The example shown here is with the standard red interior and base-plate, though a blue interior has been seen, also the wheel hubs varied between models, a version with the dinky equivalent of whizzwheels has been seen. All those shown here are genuine variations, but given the modern trend for repainting models and the ease at which this can be done with this model, as they where held together by screws and not rivets, there are possibly a lot of modern variants about that did not appear when the toy was issued.
