- For this video we will restore a Dinky Diecast 726 Messerschmitt BF109E made sometime between 1972 and 1975. The aircraft is missing its propeller, aerial, switch and most importantly its motor!.
So I get replacement parts including that motor and finish it off using Airfix water slide transfers from the Airfix BF109e-3 1/72 kit A68205.
As the Dinky Spitfire and Ju87 Stuka were brought out as movie related toys to the 1969 Film Battle of Britain I also share my Battle of Britain movie cards which I got back in the day as a trade in against a pile of football cards anyone remember them?
The condition of the model, particularly the paint, seemed a little too nice and original to strip and repaint. But I guess there’s a lot of them available so it doesn’t really matter. Great job by the way! From memory the Dinky ‘kit’ version back in the day came with a similar colour livery.
Beautiful restoration! Amazing machine too!
Nice resto job of the 109 ,don't get me wrong but it would have been a finishing touch in you had applied Swastika's to the tail ,and Balkenkretz / German underwing markings ,plus the spinner on the prop was yellow on Battle of Britain 109 E s ,and not black .
Excellent restoration , glad you used those decals, looks so much better, I agree with you about the job lots or parts vehicles.
I remember those cards what a pleasant surprise to see those again.
And iam pleased to hear iam not the only one who prefers the hurricane to the spitfire. 😀👌
Hurricanes rock!
Another amazing restoration!
Thanks
She's ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!.. All ready to go back into the warfront!!
Fantastic resto on the 109 very informative on how to get a motor I myself have a few and some are missing the motor great tip! Job well done
Got to thank you for the detailed restoration, especially the motor! Carefully followed your tutorial and successfully restored two Dinky Spitfires motors. Feel as though have the confidence to tackle more aircraft!
Definitely becoming one of my favourite channels. Not only do you do wonderful restorations with a pleasant and soothing narration, you are also providing an education on a broad spectrum of subjects! Thanks very much.
I liked it a lot so a pressed Like twice.
Very Nice!!! Thankyou!!!
Don’t you yell at me mr Warwick !! … enjoyed this video I have nearly a whole set of Dinky 1.72 aircraft in their bubble packs , loved them as a kid as do I the film , it’s probably why I still live in Biggin Hill , during the summer months we have two seater flights going up at least 6 times a day ! .., keep up the good work some of us still love a model kit and die cast toys !
Very nice. And of course f you used Airfix decals there is NO swastika! Love your videos, did you do one of the SeaKing. I had both, the USN and German Navy.
Should I be worried about the asbestos, as I have a BF-109 and an F4 Phantom on display.
Had one of these in the '70s - although it was the dark grey version with yellow nose. Nice resto - keep 'em coming.
Made in England that's good nice model plane from dinky toys. I want of my own like that.
Nice
Beautiful restoration. You should be proud of your work. You made a great trade on those cards !!
Nice job painting on the camouflage... I bet it's rather tricky...
i use a product called kleer floor polish to dip canopies in if they are cloudy/scratched, whilst i usually am building vintage model kits as
opposed to dinkys it should help to bring the cloudy canopies back to life.
Wow!! I had one of those as a wee kid back in the 70's..
Great work. The collector cards are amazing, too.
cool. but this modell just need a new motor.
All those planes on the warfront
The Sea King was released as 'Number 66', the Apollo moon mission recovery helicopter, with a floating Apollo command module: a West German Navy helicopter with a SONAR probe, and a British Army helicopter, with, if memory serves, a cargo net for the working winch to pick up. It's about 1/100 scale. A nice model. That Bf109 is the only diecast toy I have ever owned that succumbed to metal fatigue - the rear fuselage crumbled away in storage.😞
Thanks for showing those cards - what a blast from the past! The last time I saw any of those must have been in about 1970, when I was seven. They were such a big thing, too. Thanks again.
Thats a shame it went the way it did.
Hi looks great. You mentioned in the zero rebuild you had an unusual source for new motors to be shared in the ME109 video. My spitfire engine died years ago and as a 10 year old my mechanical genius was yet to be uncovered, so I went at it with the finesse of a bull in a china shop. I have tried buying donor models and every one is a real mess so a waste of time and effort. Got any ideas where to find one desperate to see it fly again?
Hi you see me using an electrical lubricant in one of the videos I should remember which made by Servisol and that can get things going again without opening them up (sometimes) worth a go or get a broken Dinky Sea king Helicopter as that uses the same motor and are usually quite cheap to pick up.
If I'm not mistaken the code for the light blue color was RLM65. However the Germans used several different colors for the underside of airplanes during WW2, and even more colors for the side and topside.
Very nice custom! (not a restoration because of the changing the camouflagesheme) The plane looks beautiful.
I had one of these as a kid
So that's $7.00
You will not-zee a finer Messer schmitt...
@4:44 Eric the Half a -Bee- Helicopter?
looks better than new even. :)
I don't know if we had such trading cards back when, those I know of were animal kingdom-related, or maybe machinery of some sorts. many were distributed inside of certain cigarette brands' boxes, hence the german name, "Zigarettenbildchen", others came in food boxes. the publishers also offered albums where you could glue the pics into, with additional information. I caught two of those on a flea market for a fistful of euros. :) crikey, the infos and facts they gave back when... certainly the spirit of the times. :)
Those cards came with bubblegum :) somewhere i have a set of UFO cards but i cant find them aaarrgh!
@@diecastrescue3597 I once caught an almost complete set of cards with Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's CarToons on them, and it's a priced posession. aka, "Our Treasurrreeee!" :D
Out on tha dance floor bumpa ta bumpa ... Wait a minute! WHERE'S ME JUMPA.??
Yes, I'm here 3 years later, with a gorgeous BF109E without a motor! I love your videos; your voice is soothing and so detailed in delivery. I cannot find any Sea Kings in the US, so I was wondering if @Diecast Rescue has found a source for a replacement motor. If not, I'll try getting an ultra low RPM motor to show off the propeller motion in my diorama scene. Cheers!
Hey she runs!! Back to life!!
Great job!!!
Amazing you still have those. I wish we had those over here in the US when I was a kid but alas we had football and baseball.
Too bad I didn't have any of these Dinky models in my childhood... They are nicely detailed...
hello there. have taken a restoration on board. motor in amazing condition, on running the continuity test it shows off and on as yours does BUT when i try to run it the battery gets warm ??!!! Not my field of expertise--- what am i getting wrong ?

Good morning,
would you give me the authorization to use the end of your beautiful video to illustrate a montage of presentation of the electric Dinky Toys ???
Cordially Jean Brun
A request please. Once finished with this particular collection, could you do a short (or long) review video of the whole set? It would be nice to see a summary of the before and after as well as some interesting information that you are so good at delivering. Again, thanks.
Thanks well there is only the thunderbolt of the piston planes for the 70s to go but thatss on the todo list I do have a smashed up Harrier waiting its turn though.
Those cards are 😎.. A lot of historic information on those....
Excellent restoration. You are lucky to get those "Battle of Britain" trading cards too.
Looks like this one required a bit of fiddling ..
Great job on that 109 and those cards I remember those..
Nice job on the small details..
Excellent restoration.
Thanks! I will look out for one :)
Lovely restoration but what did you use to remove the old paint 🤔
Sorry I assumed everyone had seen the other videos its caustic soda the sort you use to clean drains not the weaker stuff for washing.
Thanks I’ll look at the other video’s 👍
All 3 of these would be nice restoration projects...
Im talking about the 3 pieces that you were using for parts..
Ahh I have almost enough spares for the transit but i am short a back door at the moment.
Nice job.
Wonderful again, I am restoring the series also. Have a faulty spitfire motor. I have taken the motor apart, cleaned the brushes and etc and now it works but seems to have a position error. Turns off when plane is pointing upward and goes full speed when pointing down. Fiddled and fiddled to no avail. Looks like I need a job lot with a Sea King helicopter!
The wires are probably too low or too high on the commutator although the rotor should not float backwards and forwards very much (crashes not withstanding) and don't forget it might be an electrical earth problem. That is why I solder that wire on the motor.
Diecast Rescue: haven’t given up yet! I was also thinking the seat at the rear of the motor might be binding. A little oil improved the result but still weak in climbing mode. Was there a bearing (tiny steel ball) as the shaft / spindle does have play. I might install a ball bearing from a ball point pen nib to take up the play and provide a bearing surface.
I dont think so its a plastic bearing in theory I assume dinky only intended the toys to last a few hours at most and not have someone trying to get it working again 45 years later. :)
Diecast Rescue : I would agree, watched your video again and I have to check the bearing contact at the positive end internally. Might be some corrosion. If needs be I can add the ball point from a ball point pen. They are tiny!
The Barron Von Slap-unt-tickle : your vid is why i decided to repair the motor!
Cool 👍
where do you get spare parts from, ie props canopy etc
ebay mostly
👍👍👍👍👍
Properly "BF-109", there never was an "ME-109". Early in the war, Willy Messerschmitt worked for the Bayerisch Flugzeugwerke. Their designation was BF. Same as Kurt Tank was designer for Focke-Wulf, with the FW-190. Later during the war, the designers' names were used for designations. Thus the ME-262 jet fighter, and TA-152 fighter developed from the FW-190.
Dinkys are interesting models, better detailed than similar offerings from Matchbox. Good project!
Wrong you idiot it was known as a BF 109 A, B,C,D,E, mark wise ,and then the F,G, K ,and T - trainer /two seater mark's were known as ME 109's ,I KNOW because I have worked on real 109 s ,and know their detailed background / history.
