Fake Tail Section and Swastika?
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? ![]() |
