Piedmont Airlines Foam Model

I look around on E-bay quite often hoping to find interesting gliders that I may have never seen before.  I had seen Piedmont Airlines Foam Models for sale, but they were often quite expensive.  Once I found one that was for sale for $0.99 plus shipping.  The glider was used and came already punched out of its foam sheet.  I purchased the glider and paid the relatively expensive shipping costs which I believe were around $10.00 or so.  The glider showed up taped in between 2 pieces of cardboard.  I think that was the first time that I have ever left someone negative feedback on E-bay.  The vendor assured me that it did cost $10.00 to tape the glider pieces between 2 pieces of cardboard and ship it to me, and that I should learn how to read better.  

Anyway, here is the Piedmont Airlines Foam Model that I bought.  It is unlike any of my other gliders.  There are holes in the wings for where the engine inserts should have gone, but alas I did not receive them.  Perhaps the vendor is selling the engine inserts for another $0.99 plus $10.00 shipping...

To show you what the glider was supposed to look like, here is a picture that I found on E-bay for a similar glider, still in its original foam sheet.

This above picture is how the glider is supposed to look with the engine inserts in.
