Even giving the seller the benefit of the doubt…

All he, or anyone, would have to do is look a a photo of a B-25 or B-17
(I’m sure they are on the web:rolleyes: ) to see that its not from those aircraft. Not even close.
I would hope any seller, even if he’s selling if for a “friend” (you get that a lot on ebay…it seems to happen anytime authenticty is questioned or something is shamefully over priced), would take a moment to verify what he types into the item description under his ID before posting it on the worldwide web. After all, it is a binding contract and I’d think any seller would want to avoid the troubles that would come with an ebay fraud or misunderstanding.

BTW: I wonder if he wondered why anyone would put nose are on the roof of an airplane?

One one hand, whoever decided to label these items as coming from any warbird ought to be ashamed of themselves, but also anyone foolish enough to buy one (obviously no one who is on this forum or who has ever seen, let alone read, a copy of FlyPast) as a genuine WWII relic without checking their authenticity probably deserves to be sold “a bill of goods”.

It looks like someone assumed that ebay buyers have never seen Antiques Roadshow…
