I pretty sure it's the hull of a German 4-wheeled WW2 light armoured
car,
Sd.Kfz. 221 or 222 or 223, used inverted and reversed. The front of the
VTOL
is the stern of the car. It looks like a 1/35 kit- probably Tamiya I
suppose- and for smaller scales it appears in the Airfix 1/76 "German
reconnaissance set", and as a Micromachine in garish colours.
