Description :

We believe this is a vintage Topping model of a US Navy Teledyne Ryan KDA-1 Firebee Drone from the early 1950s. We cannot find a maker's mark, but it appears to be identical to a 1/28 scale model of the same aircraft put out by Topping during this time period. Double-pin mount clear Lucite base with lettering in red & black. Drone is in terrific shape - no noticeable flaws. However, we do want to mention that the upper fin on the tail is not secured into the model like the others; it is still fully intact with its tab, but the buyer may want to permanently affix it to the fuselage like the others. 

Measures just shy 5" H x 7.25" L. 4.75" wingspan.
