    Recently picked this up at a local auction. Just fell in love with the detail with the beautiful chrome gloss finish. I believe this to be a factory sample from Curtiss if anyone has any other information please leave comment. Model has six guns with brilliant chrome like finish and original hand painted wing and tail insignia. I think there should be a cockpit insert that unfortunately is missing, but I still love it.

      A real beauty— thanks for sharing!

      I am good with the trench art airplanes but not so knowledgeable on this type. There is a collector on this site who can probably assist. Believe his name is “ohioflyguy” or Something close to that.

      Seems to have missing a cockpit which a lot of these desk model airplanes had.

      Scott was close, its ohmyflyguy. I can tell you more about your model but first I need the wingspan to clarify some of its details. Look me up on the web as SANDMAN OVERHAUL or if you are on Facebook, AVIATION MODEL ARTIFACTS.
