This amazing and incredibly detailed 190cm long, hand crafted wooden/metal hulled model of this ole girl is in great used condition, with some minor areas of wear commensurate with its age & use. Most of the superstructure comes away to reveal the motors etc within and measures 49cmH x 20cmW.
It’s a whopper!
