Large scale Spitfire Mk.V on ebay

[smackers]

Just spotted this auction on ebay and couldn't figure where to make a thread for it so posted it here.
It's made from aluminium from an old caravan on a wood frame, very unusual.

Maybe you could make an offer Karl...and a big discount for the colour scheme.....might look ok on your new workbench!

Would that be "pick up only"?

 

[Airframes]

Interesting, but a strange shape!

Interesting, but a strange shape!

Much like a Hippocroccofrog you say?

 

[Airframes]

Ooohhh No! It's a lot better looking than the average Hippocroccofrog old chap! Something tells me it might have been built for a child's 'toy'. Great job if it was.

That's where Airfix got the dimensions for their Spitfires.

Take it for what it is, a heap of fun. My kid would love to have that in the back garden.

The funny part is the bid is only at 100 Pounds so far -

 

[36feet10inches]

I am tempted!

 

[Airframes]

I wonder if a Spit, Mustang, Bf109 or whatever cockpit could be built as a car, and be made road legal? Now that would be fun!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Still at 100 Pounds.

 

[36feet10inches]

Reserved not reached though. Wonder how much he's looking for?

 

[36feet10inches]

Auction closed at a thousand quid... but still the reserve wasn't reached. Yikes!
