Vintage Gerry Andersons Space 1999 Die-Cast Green Eagle Transporter Dinky Toy No. 359 1975 Boxed 

Still have my green one and a white one from 50 years ago, still have a spot on my shelf.

I had one of those, I painted it white, could never understand why it was green 😮

i had this! but I had a later version as the engines on mine were orange and not chrome like yours. The transporter pod is white, and detachable using catch button on the top. The pod has opening red plastic doors (they hinge at the base to form steps). The windows at the top are initially red or orange, but later a clear version appeared. The vertical rockets underneath the Eagle are chromed plastic in the first version, and later red. The spine was silver metal, covered with white plastic framework. The engine bottles and rocket nozzles are originally red and silver respectively (the opposite to the Eagle Freighter), but later changed to silver bottles and red rockets like the Freighter. The silver metal legs had spring suspension. The red stripes for the pod were supplied as water decals. They were pretty fragile, and flaked off after a few weeks of play. This model, and the Freighter, were still in production when Dinky-Meccano went into liquidation in 1980. The box packaging changed four times over the years. The plastic parts of the model changed colours. This was probably done to match the Freighter, so both models could be assembled with the same parts. There were also several minor tooling changes over the five years of production. The box and detailing changes did not occur at exactly the same time.

I had these as a kid and a few years ago I bought two from eBay, both boxed. I think I have the same as this and also the one with the cannisters that can be winched up. Paid about £125 each I think. They are in storage now with some other Dinky boxed items I have.

Never understood why it was green, thats like making a red Batmobile. Excellent diecast model just a shame they got the colour wrong.

Beautiful. Had one in the 70s. But don't recognise the red stickers on the pod section. They weren't on mine from new..
