1/200 01-000-001 Wrather Port Properties Spruce Goose HK-1 Hercules - (ex Entex Gakken)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
This high quality model is from the original Gakken molds, is very well molded and has a wingspan of more than 19 inches. For many decades this was the largest aircraft every built and flown and certainly still the largest wooden aircraft. The HK-1 weighed more than 200 tons and had a wingspan of 320 feet. The aircraft did fly once during a 'taxi-test mission' on November 2, 1947 and is on permanent display now. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: the decals are flat and 100% intact; however they look like they have been exposed to moisture and are probably not usable. They could be easily reproduced using the instructions in the two articles located on this website.
