RE: TOP FLITE TAURUS
Think this Freebird. You can take one of these Taurus kit's, and duplicate it. Right down to the box and plan's, and cut the wood. Have to watch, you may cut the kit wood better then what is original.
Is there any way this cannot be done, other then having some water stain's on the box, etc. You can brown out the plans, put water stains on the box, just take some tobacco, mix with some water, sprinkle it on the box, set it in the sun, presto, a vintage kit. Even put some stale air in the box.
Sure, it's a lot of work, good challenge.
Antique dealer's have been making fake's for years. Build an old bench, beat it up with a chain, antique it, big buck's. Look at the 1969 L-88 Corvette's. 427 - 435 HP. GM made, I think, about 89 of them, actual production. How many registered in the US, last I heard, 108. There are guy's that can re-stamp a pad on a block, get some phony paperwork, fool most.
