MECCANO - AEREOPLANO 2 IN 1 70

Product Information

The parts were compatible with the regular Meccano sets so the parts, nuts and bolts could be used together. Above is an Aeroplane Constructor Outfit advertisement from the pages of the Meccano Magazine December 1933. For wheeled models, a contrate gear below the fuselage connecting to a special geared axle-piece between the front wheels allowed the plane's propeller to rotate when the model was pushed along the ground.

Brighton Toy and Model Museum is a World-class repository and display environment for early toys and models situated under Brighton Railway Station, on England's South Coast.Two different types of motors are available for this purpose, and are specially designed to fit inside the fuselage of a model aeroplane. Later sets had tapered wings a feature advertised in a 1940 UK a trade sales brochures but never introduced due to the ending of production. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The auctioneer has the legal right to re-open any lot in the auction, even if the hammer has come down.

The kits had their own sets of specialised parts, and could produce a vast range of aeroplane types, partly because of the clever tactic of not committing to a particular scale. Special Aeroplane Constructor Outfits represented a slightly improved (and more expensive) almost immediate redesign of the system.In fact by the late thirties a lot of the aircraft had a rather dated look but never the less they were very popular with boys at the time. There was also available a cheaper and simpler Aero Constructor range of outfits these were much smaller and not compatible with larger outfits. We are also not responsible for any package sent either by ourselves or any third-party company which is lost in transit. When Meccano Ltd restarted toy production after the War, Aeroplane Constructor was not one of the lines that came back into production - the toy had had an honorable run, but aircraft design had now advanced too far and become too sophisticated for the concept to work any more.
