Dinky Toys 160b RA Gunner Seated Unpainted

Description

A reproduction Dinky Toys 160b RA Gunner Seated Unpainted

Diecast metal figure ready for you to paint to suit your restoration project.

The Dinky Toys Royal Artillery (RA) Figures set 160 consisted of

• NCO 160a x 1
• Gunner 160b (seated – hands on knees) x 2
• Gunlayer 160c (seated hands out like driver) x 1
• Gunner 160d (standing x 2)

The set was intended for use with the 161 Mobile Anti-Aircraft Gun which included various seating positions with the seat centre holes for the seated figure pins to locate them or the 162 18-Pounder Quick Firing Field Gun set which also featured seating positions. Only the 162a Light Dragon Motor Tractor (open top tank tracked vehicle) had a drivers position and I think the Gunlayer was meant to be able to be used in that position as well as on the ammunition feed as well. No specific Driver figure was identified or shown in the figures set or with the models.

All wore tin-hats and were in a Kahki or Brown colour depending on the paint of the day.
