Not too keen on the price, but the subject matter has a world of whif written all over it. Sharp looking plane. It's screaming WWII IJAAF for high altitude intercept against marauding B-29's. World of possibilities.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Huddersfield yesterday.  Lots of second hand dealers and most were selling expensive tat.  For some reason, unbuildable rubbish seems to be going for stupid money these days.

I can't find the right words to describe this item. :rolleyes: :banghead:
But it's "custom hand made". :wacko:

Check the rest of the "fresh barn finds" by the same seller - who knows, you might find something exceptional!

Ye gods...........  :o

At least we're safe here, he doesn't ship to the UK.  :thumbsup:

On first look, it looks like a gigantic... well, you know. :rolleyes:

On second look, it looks like an orangutan tried to imitate ericr's hybrid constructs by fusing a 1,5l Coke bottle and a toy tractor, except that it would be an insult to an orangutan's whiffing skills.

Also reminds me of the "PR@ P41N73D @@P 5UP3R R4R3 L@@K" Warhammer figures/monsters/vehicles which usually are not OOP and look like this.

Considering the list price for these is £6.25, this guy really has some nerve. AND he doesn't know 'diecast' from 'plastic' either!

But on the plus side, if you buy 3 you get an extra 55 off.

How about THIS ONE.
It's not a mistake.  It's greed.  This kit vanished from the market when the moulds were damaged in China.  It's a nice kit but not that nice.
Unfortunately for sharks like this they have repaired the moulds and the kits will be back later this year.
