This is a very old cast metal airplane that I have that used to belong to one of my uncles. It dates from about 1932 or so and models a sleek high-speed airplane with a semi-circular wing platform. I think it used to be all black and also had a propeller on the front. Underneath the plane there are openings where I believe a landing gear used to be. It is a quite heavy metal and is about 6 inches long or so. I would bail out if I was getting chased by this craft !
