Here's one that's way off in right field.
It a Guillows balsa wood model of the WW 1 Fokker DR-1 Tri Plane.
Brand spanking new, prices to sell (I hope)

"Flying" model plane?  The picture is too small for me to make out the fine print, but does this model really fly?  What method of propulsion does it use?

I love WWI planes and history and Amiga games about both.  The Fokker DR-1 is the most recognizable WWI plane ever produced.  I even considered trying to build a 3/4 scale home-built plane reproduction of one of them to fly myself when I was younger and taking pilot lessons (unfortunately the company I was working for went bankrupt and put me out of a job temporarily and I was forced to stop my lessons before I finished and I never got the opportunity to go back and complete getting my pilot's license).
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
