Hi
I am interested in this model plane on estand but it is well outside my usual interest area and I would like to invite opinions as to whether it is period made or of later manufacture. Thank you, nic.

Looks Good.I wonder if it may have been a production test/wind tunnel model?? It seems very detailed and not made as a toy. Although then I guess you wouldn't need the decals!
It looks too large to be a modern kit, I know there is a modern 1:72 scale kit available of this, but I think it's a period piece and may have some historic value.
It's ironic to note that the undercart has failed, just as the original prototype's did causing it to be written off in 1935. It's a really nice item anyway.
