Has anyone seen any retailers with this model from Franklin? If so PM me.

Gavin,
I believe that is a Mahogany wood model that Franklin Mint had...That is the same looking stand as my Red Baron and Sopwith Camel WWI fighters i got from them a few years back.
If i'm correct these are long sold out...I know of a friend who has all these planes he might have a extra one around who knows...I'll find out for you.

Franklin Mint Spirit of St. Louis Approximately 91/2" (24.1 cm) in height with a 19" (48.3 cm) wingspan, Scale 1:24 Description One of the greatest events of the 20th century occurred on May 20-21, 1927 when Lindbergh completed the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in the Spirit of St. Louis. Hand-carved mahogany replica is painted in the exact colors of the real single engine Ryan monoplane that made the harrowing New York-to-Paris flight, with the identical markings on wing and fuselage. Configured with side windows, just like the famous original. Rotating propeller and polished wood base with brass nameplate.

Part-Nr. should be B11D012?

They go for about $70-$80 on the bay.

But I've never seen one in person or in an online store.

Good hunting!

I'm interested in the letter pictured on the desk. It reputedly has the Franklin Mint 2008 releases list inside.

Roger that! My co-worker has that one as well and wouldn't mind if FM plans to do a diecast on it, I would buy it too!
