Jealous Mark!

I bet I can guess what he'll say

It's a Griffon.

Glad it's not just me, although I think that Dave put particular emphasis on the 'nosejob' in pic2 for that very reason!

All the same it's not a bad model.

That's what I was going to say!

Nice little addition to the desktop...

Very nice christmas Present, saw those were selling for $50...it was made in Vietnam.  A single Vietnamese family makes many models like that, all hand made.

For some reason I find that really cute
If it had a Merlin engine, Mark would be round to your house as soon as he could Dave....
Great little model!

If it was a Merlin engined jobbie Dave would have come home to find someone had broken in and nicked it
I have to say it is a beautiful rendition of the XIV however

You are quite right!
I removed that little white "mad in Vietnam" sticker 1st thing.

My brother found this with many, many other types of aircraft at a state fair somewhere in the mid-west!
The guy had no website, no business cards.. etc..  :(

I wish I could find out where I could purchase them from.
My brother said the guy had about 2 dozen vintage/ war bird aircraft, helicopters, tanks, commercial airliners, etc...

Can anybody tell me where I might be able to find more?

Dave

I may have just found it!

They are painted though...

Dave

Jeez,
My brother only paid $35 and if he bought 2, he got them both for $60!!!!  :o  :o

Why would any philistine paint such a beautiful piece of wood?
