A few from Ebay

Following a post about a tin Rotodyne in the helicopter section I thought I'd post a few ebay hosted images from recently expired auctions

Tin litho F-104 this displays fullsize on the MAC forum because Ebay only hosted it at 500pixels width


Yonezawa B-50 (right click for fullsize 1600 pixel view)


Old favourite, C-120 Pack Plane


Yonezawa Pan Am DC-4




New one to me: Modern Toys C-130 based but with a swept vertical tail



Yonezawa C-124 Globemaster (the big version!) As noted, some rust.

And back to the Fairey Rotodyne which seemed to capture the Japanese imagination

Trying a link from my Flickr account

The German VEB "Orient Air Lines" is a replica of a Baade jet airliner that flew in E Germany in 1959. It was still available in 1983. There were a pile of them in a gift shop in Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris that summer. I bought one!

The E Tomiyama/Yonezawa Pan American DC-4 (I think the manufacturer designated it a DC-7 despite its looking more like a DC-4 or -6) came in a variety of airline colors.

There's also a great battery version of the B-50 Superfortress in royal blue with pink windows - the seller wants something like $775 opening bid.

I think the MT-Modern Toy Hercules tail fin's swept appearance is the angle of the photograph. That having been said, there are some tin toy planes that came in variants with "upright" and "swept" tail fins - so perhaps a swept fin Herkie is not out of the question.

Hi Tone...Intriguingly the Wikipedia page for the Baade 152 (Dresden 152) suggests one fuselage (#11) survived...Is this the one you bought?https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Deutsche-lufthansa-152.jpg

Don't forget, this was in 1983, so the Orient Air Lines plane I bought has molded gray plastic, not tinplate, engine nacelles.

It is like the first photo you posted, not the second.
