What is that?
It is not my collection focus, so i have no idea. Found it in a box together with some Tekno B-17 and DSB-1
It is about 11cm long. Not made out of lead - true diecast

I have seen many similar ones presumably made in France after WWII but they were different than yours and had different landing gear wheels. They were all aluminum, and I was told they were made from melted down and scrapped German aircraft.
Yours looks like a B-17, but who knows?
None of the french collectors I knew ever gave a manufacturers name to these.
Here are some of mine in a tray. The ones in front mostly, as the ones in the rear are from identified makers

The type of plane also looks like this 80s "Straco" brand (Mandarin casting) Luftwaffe FW bomber I have!

Here is another one out of that box. It is a B-17 and i have take a shot with a Tekno B-17. It is a little smaller and solid as you see. It is more "rough" than the other bomber. First I tought it would be a recasting of a tekno but it is too small (including the shrinking of a sand mould model). Perhaps it is cheap copy of that time period - i don't know where this place could be located before the "HongKong time"
