I was well aware of the space ships and robots from India that are copied from Japanese toys, seen on the Danefield "Alphadrome-Home of the Robots" web site. Also, I found a photo of at least one airplane, a Lockheed JetStar, that looks as though it might be based on a Japanese toy, only cruder (for example, the jet engines are just curled metal tubes). I notice that, generally,the Indian toys are green/yellow/red!
I did not know the Turkish tin toys were copies to such a great extent, except for perhaps one or two of the small planes. There are not that many to examine! The same person with this helicopter has a Turk Hava Yollari twin-prop that is obviously the same tooling as the Chinese MF-107 small airplane that is very common.
