Dimension 51 cm long

Mahogany model, hand-crafted primarily from solid hardwood.

This model is composed of 6 easily assembled movable pieces which include the fuselage, the wings, the rudder, stabilizer and the base. The wood receives base protection which prevents drying out and cracking. Occasional cleaning maintenance with a citrus-based oil product is sufficient in keeping the collection piece beautiful even after year after year of display in your company office or private home.
