Hi, and welcome to the forum!

No idea of worth as I have never seen one before. But I like it very much.

Cheers, Ade.

Hello Mucci and welcome to the forum!

A nice display item, well done. One would think that it would be quite difficult to ascertain a true, or fair value of this piece, as it appears rather unusual and so we don't have the opportunity to search dealer's sites and compare. However, maybe somebody can help if they have seen something similar.

Thanks for sharing it anyway.

Regards,

Carl

Welcome to the forum! It's an interesting piece and I would guess quite unique unless everyone at Montdidier had one. Value is quite difficult, a rare item, a desireable item to Luftwaffe or aviation collectors but where can a value be found on such a one off piece? What's it made from?

aluminum thanks for reply

Ive never seen one like it, the only type of Luftwaffe aircraft in that scale that i have seen were wooden recognition models, made by Luftwaffe personel , they sold many yrs ago for a reasonable price of between £30-40, this one i expect is made from alloy or aircraft Aluminium, due to the detail and construction i would expect this model to go for the £150-250 mark possibly more, it is a rare bird
