    Hi,
    What type of airplane is this? I'm finding other trip-planes but not this one. Berkeley Designs sticker on bottom. This has a 9 1/2" wingspan x 13"L x 7"H
    Any information appreciated
    thanks for looking

    Artist's fantasy. I can't look away from this modern crap fast enough.

    thanks evelyb30 and terry!
    this type of stuff sells well locally though, I usually pay a couple of bucks and sell them for $25.00

    How close do you want it to be? (I found it when I googled the movie "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" which is what I thought of when I saw this:))

    Here is a real tri-wing ski plane that the models may have been trying to copy?

    Edit: Instead of the Roe III triplane it is the Roe IV that was made in 1910 like the one SIS found.

    Roe?
    Sounds fishy for the name of an aircraft. :)
