A couple of things here - this is being posted in Die Cast Airplanes (duh!...no dolls or cars!) VINTAGE.
Nothing Vintage about these airliners; 1970 is the cut off point for "vintage" and "modern".
You should visit another thread about Ertl Jet Tran...which are the same molds.
I hope this link works...if not...search "ERTL Jet Tran Pictures".

HI ...hmmm...gonna debate this point as many early LINTOY ended up with BACHMANN / CORGI / ERTL namestake on the packaging .
It seems molds were purchased from LINTOY then to bachmann or corgi ..etc..

The ERTL line your referring to is the LATER ERTL releases ...not the same as LINTOY /ERTL *LINTOY / BACHMANN * LINTOY/CORGI *

THANKS for posting

Indeed, yes...ERTL Jet Tran were new molds, but the ERTL "Planes of the World" were the Lintoy molds. They did retain and reuse the Lintoy 747 mold for quite some time until it was replaced in time by the somewhat larger Jet Tran 747. From Richardson (Corgi releases):

I'm going to stop before we hit the "Flyers" release since there are significant changes to the molds. However they are almost all the same airlines from this point on.
...I'm still trying to figure out who released the Lintoy DC-10 I have in FinnAir colors! The Lintoy mark is rubbed out!
I would also point out that all of these releases were before the time when airlines worried about "toys" using their marks without paying. Indeed, Swissair and Lufthansa actually commissioned 727 and DC-10 toys for "give away" tokens; they were not the main lines issues, but miniatures more in the style and size of DynaFlites or Schabak.

I'll add it...but just to confirm..."Lintoy" is cast in?
As long as it's got "Lintoy" on it, I call it a Lintoy. Otherwise it's someone else's!
