Vintage Toy Aircraft Appraisal

Two Packaged Die-Cast Military Aircraft Models

This lot features two die-cast toy airplanes, each individually packaged in blister packs, suggesting they are new old stock or in their original retail packaging. The foreground item is an 'INATR' brand 'DIE CAST FLYER' model, depicting a military-style transport aircraft, likely a C-47 Skytrain or similar, given its twin-engine, high-wing configuration. It features a green and brown camouflage paint scheme with distinctive white and black 'invasion stripes' on the wings and fuselage, characteristic of D-Day aircraft. The construction appears to be primarily die-cast metal for the body, with plastic components for parts like the propellers and landing gear. The packaging is a cardboard backing with a clear plastic blister, showing some minor wear or potential yellowing typical of older packaging. The model likely includes a display stand, as indicated by a separate molded piece in the blister. The item in the background is also a die-cast airplane model, but its specific details are less clear due to being partially obscured and further away. It appears to be a lighter-colored, possibly silver or grey, single-engine propeller plane, also likely military in design. Both items appear to be in good, unused condition within their packaging, though the exact condition of the models themselves cannot be assessed without removal from the blister packs. The style and packaging suggest these are modern collectible toys, likely produced in the late 20th to early 21st century, targeting enthusiasts of aviation or military memorabilia. The quality of the die-cast suggests a decent level of detail for mass-produced collectible toys.
