NewRay toy 109
Hi all–
NewRay Toys in China make a whole series of these. They go for about $C5 at local Wal-Marts. There are at least two versions of the 109; that one on eBay is the better-looking of the two liveries…They also do a birdcage F4U in the approximate livery of the XF4U prototype; two Spit XIVs (one of which wears the livery of a 112 Sqn Kittyhawk!), a MiG-3, a Zero, a fairly plausible 352FG-marked P-51D, a wonky P-40 in vaguely-5AF finish, and most surprisingly a Dewoitine D520 that is the best of the lot by miles. They’re all 1:48 scale or close to it.
I have to guess, re the 109s, that there’s a skittishness even in China to marketing anything showing authentic Luftwaffe markings. The resulting models are, if nothing else, amusing… 😎

It didn’t actually generate a frenzy of bidding 😮

In what way is that colour scheme authentic?
