Londontoy Hawker Hurricane #11 - paper wheels

This Hawker Hurricane has been for sale on eBay for quite some time. It started at $65.00 CAD, then dropped to $55.00 CAD before just being relisted for $45.00 CAD. I still think that is way too much. What is interesting about this Hawker Hurricane is that the wheels are made of compressed paper. Seller's description below:

Londontoy #11 Hawker Hurricane

I have never seen one of these for sale before so I jumped at the chance. It was listed for $9.00 USD but I ended up paying $16.00 USD plus a pretty high amount of shipping even though it was located in Canada. I'm stoked to have this a part of my collection. Seller's description is as follows:
