Handmade model of Winnie Mae rescued from the trash


Recommended Posts

I recently found a rather large hand made model of the Winnie Mae at my local dump. I was told someone just dropped it off and that their grandfather built it. 

It has a 5' 2" wingspan and is meticulously painted and detailed. As you would expect there is some noticeable damage and age to it but I found most of the parts and was able to piece it together myself. It really is gorgeous. 

 

Please post your replies if you are interested in helping me identify the age, the manufacturer of the model kit and its value. I know nothing about airplane models.

 

Thank you,

SS

It's a flying model. And it looks like quite a beauty!

 

You might have better luck on a site focusing on radio control aircraft, like rcuniverse.com. You should probably also take pix of the cabin interior and the engine compartment.
