Hi Folks,

recently I got this huge tin toy Boeing 727. It was made by Masudaya in Japan ("TM; Modern Toys"). Size is 61 cm length and 49 cm span. I made it to recover most of the funcions (when I received it, nothing was working...): It has stop 'n go function with sound and noise combined with electric lights and noise (!) in the engines and lights in the wings. (Wing's lights still not yet working). The mechnical system is similar to the system of the Schuco Radiant. The gears are looking very very similar...
The shape of the plane is great, close to a scale model (not talking about size..).

Question is now: Who knows that model???? I could not find any references anywhere. Of course the smaller 727 by Masudaya (about half the size) is well known, especially since it is a very good miniature as well, but what about this one?

Any help appreciated!

Greetings

Chris
