(Received the ad on FB (NOT buying!), but thought: LOADS of 'Big Boy's Toys' out there... LOL!). When I was young there were Meths driven Traction Engines...
Rather too big for me !
Five times the price for a driver .... but he is rather special! ;)

A friend had one of those - I was so jealous. Bet they're worth a fortune now!
If 10mm is getting 'a bit fiddly'...

Nice... but... NEEDS a 75' wingspan to 'Really' do the biz! ;)

I'm confused. It looks like they're selling a model of a mini-excavator, but the words are describing the real thing?

Not a model... just a 'lol, could do with for the garden!' ;)

Hmm, nobody is selling a real, sit-on, petrol engined mini-excavator for £50!
The first five pictures are of a model, the last two are of the real thing.
Whole thing looks deliberately mis-leading to me.

Yeah, 'could' be dubious. I have added a 'warning' to original post. I didn't think that anyone would really 'go for it'. :(
Then again, I bought a 'Viking' kitchen knife from a Facebook ad. After about four weeks, thought... ok, been ripped off again... then it turned up and is 'wicked' after a little sharpening ! ;)

Sorry, not getting at you.
It's the same with the Chinook page - they show their model, then there's a couple of videos of cool-looking (and quite sizeable) RC Chinooks flying - but I bet that's not the model they're selling! I note they don't specify the size of the model . . . but they do say it's die-cast, which can't be good for flying!

Too good to be true...maybe. I rather like the illustration which indicates that the rotors 'rotate'... ! ;D
So, maybe a 'Dinky' model? :(
Maybe, I should have 'thought through' before posting 'fun' links. :( :(
Should have stuck with the 'War Gnomes'... nothing can go wrong there... Err... :o ;D

Following the links to other gnomes they sell - some very disturbing images there ;)

Have no idea how a battery powered 'Jet' could work!
Folding Table that Could be useful!
Might do for RPGs, small skirmish, 6mm, 2mm or maybe as a 'campaign/large battle map' accessory board?
