I do not know exactly! Could be Daishin or Marusyo.

Planes are unmarked

Box contains "NGS" in a diamond

The toys were distributed in US by "Cragstan" located in the Toy Building in New York City (250 Broadway near the Flatiron Building)

Here's one I have in AA colors. When you push it down it rises upward and moves forward on its wheeled base, which is decorated with clouds.

Your AA 727 really does resemble mine - especially if you look at the wings and the air-intake for engine #2. Interesting wheel-gear you have there!
