Pirate Paper-Replika Vespa?

I think this is a pirate, even though he credits Paper-Replika.com in small letters in the photo:
PIRATE SITE LINK REMOVED
I've sent a message to Mr. Perdana and the contact at , and I'll update this when I get a reply.

You did both well and correctly in notifying Jules Perdana.
That model is Free on Jules' own site.
No-one should be charging for it.

Well-spotted and Thank you, Alfadoc.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Alfadoc,

Good catch finding that link, but in the future, please do not post a link to a pirate site on the forums. Contact the designer and forward the link to them and/or contact a mod/admin on the site.

We don't want to spread any links of known pirate outlets for models

.

3Turner, I did visit the link to confirm Alfadoc's suspicions.
Thank you sir for removing it.

I have the link address in my browser history should another copy of that address be needed.

Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

Sorry about the link. My intention was for people from this site to contact and pressure the owner to remove the pirated content. I didn't think anyone from here would purchase it.

Also, if that is the policy, I noticed this post has the link to the pirated material intact:
Fortezza FREE Models SOLD on eBay!

Yes, Uyraell, I did. The only thing I noticed that the pictures are from Jules' website, representing the model...and would most likely also provide the model if someone were to purchase. I am sure there are other paper models which should not be on there that I did not find right away.

I know, and you are right. However, we don't want to provide any unnecessary web traffic and popularity to them/it.
