https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KLM-PH-LKJ-Walkers-Westway-Models-Super-Constellation-Flying-Dutchman-Model/183633069990#shpCntId   Vintage Desk or Display Model of The Flying Dutchman complete with stand.    This auction is for a rare, vintage metal desk or display model of KLM's Flying Dutchman Super Constellation Airplane. From the research I have done, this is a KLM Super Constellation. The Super Constellations had their first commercial flight in 1951. The plane has a sticker on the bottom stating that the model is made by Walkers Westway Models. If you go online, there is one very similar in a museum also made by Walkers Westway Models in the London Science Museum. The plane is very heavy. I think this is stainless steal, but I’m not sure.   The total wing span is 30 inches The length of the whole model is 27 inches   As the pictures show, this is a KLM PH-LKJ Model Plane. This piece is in good condition for its age, as you can see from the photos.    I am open to sensible offers if no sensible offers I will let the auction run from 99p onwards   Postage cost would be £50 because I would need to buy packing items to transport it properly, would prefer free collection in person.     Edited By Jay Groom on 12/01/2019 11:52:35

Thanks for your reply, The plane is around 2 feet long

Hello all, please move this post if in the wrong place. I'm a newbie so not 100% sure on how this all works! I was doing a house clearance yesterday when in an elderly women's attic, we found this KLM PH-LKJ Model Airplane with the stand. I have done a small amount of research and have found a similar model on the London Science Museum website! We think its old, 1950s early 1960s. Please pay attention to the sticker on the bottom of the plane: Walker's Westway Models Limited. We think that this is cast, aircraft aluminium as its heavy and has no visible welding. I was wondering on whether anyone knew any more about it and what its potential worth is? Thanks! Pictures are in this Google Drive folder as too big for site: **LINK**
