Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament 2024, Sky's the Limit CallAir A-2, Hobby Gifts

Gifted this to my friend who owns a real plane a bit like this. She loved it!Propellers actually spin.I ordered a second to hang on my Christmas tree.

"Uncommon" is perhaps an understatement; 144only 16 of these were built. This is a nice model at what looks to be something a bit larger than 1:144 scale. I only wish that a finish other than the copper/brass tone had been used. It makes the plane look like nothing more than a toy, even though it's a good replica of the real aircraft. I have yet to find a photo of a real CallAir-2 with this finish. I suspect that the real airplane was never finished this way.

Hallmark always has great quality. Gave this to my 5 year old grandson for Christmas and he loved it.

We bought this for a friend, but his wife already bought one, so we had to return it. It looked fine.

Hallmark never disappoints. Nice keepsake ornament.

Great gift

Gave as a gift

Being the nerd that I am, I've long admired this series of scale model airplane ornaments, in particular the ones that were race planes in the 1930's. The Hall Bulldog is a fairly obscure racer, but certainly one of the most unique examples from the early 30's. They did a nice job on this one -- my only complaint is that it seems larger compared to previous releases. This is no problem if you're hanging it on a tree -- but if you display the models in a row on a shelf (and I'm guessing I'm not the only one), the Bulldog is taller and "bulkier" than any of the other seven I have. In any event, I hope Hallmark continues this series, and I will be a likely purchaser. One other note, these are surprisingly sturdy -- at a glance, they seem like they might be on the fragile side. So far, I haven't managed to break one.
