LOL MT, that thing looks great. And it's even on a dryer.

Is that the same kit from Walmart? Yours looks a lot better in my opinion. Still, repainting one for fun is kind of cool. I don't consider it making a model though.

I did dust it off, does that count?

So that is basically a diecast plane that you repainted?

No, it is a plastic model kit. 1/32 scale, from 21st century models.  I DID see the die cast one like yours MT, but this is totally different... I think they jsut got them in for a short time, as every time the wife and I go back to wally world, I search for more of them, to no avail.

Here is a link to a forum that discusses this kit

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest scale model plane in the world is a 1/5 scale model of a B-29 that is made in Belgium.

Here is a link to a video showing it:

Actually I believe THIS B52 is or rahter, was, the largest R/C model... (unless you consider QF-4 phantoms and such R/C models ).  This aircraft crashed however, and was destroyed, so it all depends on how you look at it.
