It is built from thick plastic with metal axles and painted in bright contrasting colors: a green cab, a red crane arm and a blue chassis. It is also a working toy, since the crane arm moves, the winch turns with a hand wheel on the side and the crane platform rotates through 360 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toy mobile crane truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malysh (Малыш)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green cab, red crane arm, blue chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thick plastic with metal axles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoving Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Movable crane arm, manual winch with side wheel, platform rotating 360°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USSR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition.
