This sold on eBay recently. The owner "apparently" got it from a vet.
After he got it, he cut it in half so he could sell 2 pieces and make more money.
Nothing about this relic seems German.
- The swastika is sloppy with oversprayed areas (even some areas do not line up correctly). Also, the swastika is painted in 2 halves. So a "half" template was used. You can see the overlap in the 3rd photo
- the interior paint is dark GREEN (which was never used as a primer by the Luftwaffe). And certainly this is not an oxidized RLM02.
- no ink stamps on the aluminum
- strange "stamped" number on the inside (which again I have never seen before.
Seller advertised it as a Ju88 tail (which it clearly is not)...then changed it to Fw190...again wrong...and not Ju87 as far as I can tell.
Does anyone agree with me that this is a forgery? Something someone cut from a US or RAF plane, and then painted the swastika?
