So Glad I Investigated First - Nothing In My Research Supports That This Is A Legit Site.
I came across this website after seeing an ad on Facebook Marketplace that claimed a retired US military pilot was making handmade weathervanes shaped like famous planes. I thought it would be a great gift for a friend of mine who used to chase subs on Orion P3s back in the day. Since it sounded interesting, I decided to take a closer look.
Right away, I noticed that some of the product photos looked like they might have been computer-generated images. The product examples were also not consistent, with some being very realistic 3D models, and others looking like cheap 2D stamped / cutout forms.
The website said they offered 24/7 live chat support, but I couldn't find any way to actually contact them. There was also no clear information about where the business is located.
When I checked their FAQ, it talked about things like body types, sizes, and colors in a way that didn’t really make sense for weathervanes. The wording was awkward—definitely not what I'd expect from someone who spoke English as a primary language, especially from someone with a military background.
Diving further into the site, there was mention of two other sites/services (?): "Buykud" & "Domiple." Buykud's site sells clothing. Close inspection of the brief background elements of its ad video (landscape, buildings, flora) does not look "American" but more "tropical" (and not in a continental USA manner). Domiple calls itself an international online fashion destination.
I decided to dig a bit further and looked up the website’s ownership. Several indicators were leading to China (e.g., some lettering, the server source).
I even ran some AI checks just to be sure, and nearly every search pointed to this being a highly potential scam site. I couldn’t find any real evidence that it was legitimate.
Even though the site made it sound like it was a local, veteran-run business, absolutely NOTHING else seems to uphold that idea. I
