Crazy neat on eBay

OK, I was window shopping eBay for trailers, hit eBay Motors, Other Vehicles... and this was the first item in the list. If I can get about 99 partners, we could start an awesome flying club.

ACHTUNG! That's a gorgeous WWII aircraft. Not worth the 1.5 mill they are asking though with a nose over accident. That usually requires an engine major overhaul if the prop struck the ground. Bent cranks are not cheap!

For being a piano player in a WH, this guy knows about prop struck accidents.

No thanks. I was a USAF aircraft mechanic and I hated working on prop jobs. They are dirty, stinky and a pain in the butt!

Thats not even a WWII German Bird. The Messerschmidt used an inverted v-12. the HA-112 Buchon was made in Spain after the war.

the dead give away is the exhaust pipes are too high. its a standard V12, not an inverted one.

This is an imposter and hardly worth half what they are asking.

For comparison, this is a picture of an actual Messer. 109
