All of the plane’s features are reproduced in precise detail with the kit’s 362 pieces, including rubber tires, metal ailerons and flap shaft, engine intake netting, photo-etched control surface hinges, and more. The instruction manual is accompanied by an 80-page book illustrated with 175 period photographs—one third of which are rare color originals—and detailed line drawings. Forms a 19"-wingspan.
