20 series
features
The 20 series or 20
"Export" series,
also known as "Scatole pronte", consists of 10 packs, measuring 35 x 19
x 1.5 cm, containing subjects in HO scale, with catalog numbers from 20
to 29.
Note that the same catalog
numbers will also be used later for some Galaxy personages in the
Shooting Series.
Of the 10 packs, 8 are
related to the Modern armies
(catalog number 20-27), 1 to the
West history (catalog
number 28) and 1 to the World War II armies (catalog number 29); the
other packs are found within the respective sections.
Its production begins in March 1975 with the first 9 packs and ends in
May 1975 with the start of production of packaging n. 29.
In the
packs marketed it was not uncommon to find clusters of toy soldiers that
did not correspond to the subjects of the pack.
The packs of the 20
"Export" series have 3 different background colors: red for the packages
relating to the Modern armies, brown for the West history and black for
the World War II armies.
On the front of the
packages there is the Atlantic logo, the wording "Export", the name of
the subject in four languages and the content.
The wording "Expert" and
the catalog number are printed on the side edges, while on the back
there are any assembly instructions and images of the covers, more or
less complete, of the other packs in the series.
