i just found this piece of rusty gold at an auction just 2 werks ago.
But i cant find anything like it?? i know they have u build it plastic models but this is all hand-made and not by just anyone.
have you seen one like this??
this is actually a model of one of the Wright brothers' Flyers. The propellers' side is the tail, with its primitive rudder. The nose or front has these horizontal "elevators". Note that the wings also seem to be inverted. Hopefully, if this is a model produced in the beginning of the 20th century, it can have some value.

thanks for the info.. looks like the 1905 model after they put ballast on plane to equal out the weight of plane. model has been in a barn for years. no name or anything on it. just looks very cool and is very well made.
yeah it has that rust petina but is not rusted thru or take away from how sturdy model is. measures 4" high, wing span is 10" and plane is 10" from front to back.
