Tin airliners like this one were made for children across the USSR, and today they are popular with collectors of Soviet tin toys, Aeroflot memorabilia and mid-century aviation toys. Its honest wear gives this plane plenty of authentic retro character on a display shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree worldwide shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from Ukraine with a tracking number.
