Asahi Toys DC-7 or Electra?
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 4:06 amThis blue box, with its beautiful artwork, promises a realistic American Airlines DC-7 inside.
The plane inside, however, is marked as an ELECTRA, which I find charming. It's in that overall deep blue color that many toy makers have used over the years.
Neither DC-7 nor Electra in shape! It is really more of an Avro Tudor ... wouldn't you agree? Look at those wings, that tail fin ... only the engine nacelles would hint at a DC-7, and the livery is somewhat like that of an Electra in the AA delivery colors.
