Alps brand Piper
Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 9:49 pmThis very large Piper has a metal body and wings, rubber tires and plastic prop and canopy. The wing span is 20". Each wing attaches to either side of the body.
The toy plane has a nose gear, making it a "Tri Pacer." However, the plane is in military guise, making it a "Grasshopper" that should be a tail dragger. Note that the lithography has detail of rivets that would be absent on a plane made of wood and fabric.
It is usually found in its colorful "Sport Plane Piper" livery.
