Riffe DC-3 Ashtray

Postby alumtube » Fri Jul 11, 2014 1:39 am

Are there many of these out there?
Bought at a auction in Kansas City, not far from where these were made. I know the more common Dc-9 /B-707/ B-727 and the CV880 + on a more rare occasion the B-747 and the Concorde. This is the first Riffe Dc-3 I have seen so just had to buy it. Wingspan is 10 1/4" I added the plastic propeller disks.

Very Nice and excellent choice to add the prop disks. That would have been a design choice made during the days of Art Deco when metal and plastic were commonly featured together. Nice Job.Tom
