Default Big Bird BA Landor 747 Problem!

I have some planes on Ebay at the moment (eBay Seller: geoffll1963: Toys Hobbies, Gemini Aces P-51B Mustang Ferocious Frankie GAUSA2005 items on eBay.com) and the 'City of Winchester' was one of them: Big Bird British Airways Landor 747-200 Registration G-BMGS. The auction was due to end on Saturday (23rd) and there were about 14 watchers and the reserve price of $29.95 had been met.

Unfortunately the Big Bad Corporate Boys at Boeing forced Ebay to remove the item due to copyright issues. Presumably the model was not licensed. This is very ironic as I originally purchased the plane on Ebay about a year ago.

If, perchance, you were a potential buyer let me know your best offer via PM.

Boeing !

That's why I don't like to sell my models on ebay and pay by paypal, after complete transaction minus commission with less amount I desire, good for the buyer. I rather deal direct with collector within the USA.

So they removed the Big Bird, but left the Phoenix Dreamliner? Didn't think Phoenix was the official licenced Boeing model maker...
Anyway I agree with Sanny-Lax. I try to avoid ebay these days

Phoenix is licensed by Boeing.
