"Mailplane" text across wings w/the number "43" at each wingtip. Slight bend to right wing, one propeller tip and tail fin. Wings have darkened slightly w/age. Scattered paint wear. Wings have tiny 1/16" split in front and behind pilot figure, but these do not detract greatly. Wind-up mechanism works and propeller turns as plane advances. Fine overall.
