Hi,
A friend of mine was given this model about 10 years ago, it is made by Matthys Verkuyl Badhoevedorp.
It about 60cm long.

On the other hand, the fact is is not United or KLM makes it rarer and possibly more valuable.

Martinair is quite well known.

As with all such things…it whatever someone is prepared to pay for it.

Since online selling became the norm, I think desk model prices have softened.
This model isn’t helped by its markings…Martinair isn’t a hugely famous carrier.
If it were KLM or United, it would probably bring more…simply because there are more collectors of those organizations.

Value?
A couple of hundred pounds/euros?

Anyone have a better guess?
