“This particular one is number 5 in the collection. It is a small aircraft one of two that were in the series and both were promotional. The design is quite simple but yet looks quite good. Consisting of 23 pieces 16 being the model it dose do itself justice. It's wings are... More the black dragon wings and it is propelled by the flames coming out of the back.”
