Thank you for your information about the Bombay Mumbai gift shop airplanes.

From what I understand, the Nicky Toys Comet and Viscount were Dinky Toys molds. The Milton Caravelle is different from the Dinky Toy.

I do not generally come across Nicky, Milton, Maxwell or any other Indian-made die cast toy. This one is special to me because it's so hard to find here.

I do not think that th Dinky Toys Caravelle has a moving rear stairs. Perhaps you are thinking of the Tekno Denmark Caravelle instead, which indeed has this feature.

The Maxwell 747 is supposedly based on the Schuco, a forerunner of Schabak and in 1:600 as well. None of these firms has anything to do with Matchbox.
