To my old eyes it looks like a cheep "FAKE"!!! Like the ones you can have made on Hollywood blvd by sticking your head into the hole. TO Sharp a detail of the pilot and the Fokker looks like back drop to me. would not even waste a wooden nickel on it. ttfn tcrean7828 tom  |

Yep, That's a model. I'm sure some poor sap will buy it and take it to be the real thing. How sad indeed that this has to keep going on. At least they will find out one day that all the money they spent on it was not spent in vain but in fact it was to get it off the market so some other poor sap wouldn't buy it, it just to bad he has to find out this way.

Like I said...
....REVELL! 1:48 scale.
I got the same red glossy finish on my version! I will gladly part with it for 45 bucks, but if you want a discount, then i will gladly obscure part of the plane by inserting my mug into the picture -- with the proper look of teutonic defiance! =0) marc |

Looks like the Red Baron after one of his victorious dogfights with Snoopy!
