Preposterous e-bay listing of the month: 1/48 P-51

Was $2500, a steal at the marked down price of $1250...
Am I missing something here? This looks liking something you could pick up at Kay-Bee Toys back in the day...

I suspect these are Flanklin mint 1/48 models with crazy prices :)

Did you check the seller's other items?

I don't know if some of these are extremely short-run items that have been OOP for years or what, but the prices seem over the top to me.

Also noticed he doesn't put the manufacturer's name on the listings. How do we know if it's real or a very good copy?
