1951's submarine toy restoration vfg6d

Putting aside the amount of rust, the efforts you had to deploy to strip the paint including the lthographed markings, and open up the shell is an obvious testament to the amazing build (and mechanical) quality of Sutcliffe toys - with almost no part needing replacing!The good old days when paint was paint and toys were soldered and there was no sign of plastic. I LOVE seeing these old toys brought back to life. Well done.
