SIKU MESSERSCHMITTS V30


There are two versions of the Siku Messerschmitt, the first made in 1954 is easily identified, (if not easily found!), it has a very rounded engine cover.  The headlights also look a little tired and the canopy is more rounded. The early version uses a weight without the top  projection.  I guess Siku were not happy with it and the model changed in 1955 until being deleted in 1963.

Canopy is slightly different shape and weight has a longer projection on the later model.
