49. You, Sir, Are A Cad And A Fraud!

I do not believe for one moment that you have assembled this 'scale model' with such fanatical attention paid to both historical accuracy and detail!

I do believe, however, that you have either designed and built or acquired through nefarious means both a time-travel device and miniaturization ray, and have produced as your own work an actual aeroplane stolen from the RAF.

I half expect that you have in your posession both a miniature flight and ground crew, cruelly imprisoned.
