Guys, call me kooky but I think this guy is using 1/32 21C planes, repainting them and putting them up for sale for a BIN price of $250. They don't have the 21C logo on the bottom but everything else seems to match up. WTH?

That or it's the 1:32 109 kit. Although I thought the kit was only an F... Odd. But it's damn dead on to 21st. He must have sanded off the logo. He also added the lower antenna... If you look at some pics, there's some terrible masking. I think he sprayed over an existing plane, and is trying to pull a fast one. It looks nice from a couple feet, but anyone can tell this is not a 175 dollar plane.
Okay, I don't know, some of the 109s have moving flaps, and the 202 has a wierd pilot...

He has probably used the kits, or he could've repainted the existing planes, but I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I have considered taking 21st planes and repainting them to sell, and if he can make the kinda money, then more power to him. In the end, I think people will either buy these or realize that they aren't necessarily "professionally" built.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with it, If I could paint that well, and I tried it, I shoot for $50 starting bid. Think about it. $10 kit. $10 on paint, decals. Now, next time you'll already have paints, and you have got money to spare. Not to mention someone's gonna shoot at a unique plane for $50. $175 in 1/32? Not so much.
