Metal Earth - from the sheet steel to the amazing 3D-metal kit - simply press out laser-cut components from the metal card (11 x 11 cm) and assemble them entirely without glue. All models come with plenty of detail parts. Includes easy-to-understand assembly instructions. Tweezers and long-nosed pliers facilitate the assembly of the models. For young and old hobbyists - no children's toys. The Hughes H-4 Hercules, nicknamed "Spruce Goose" (Fichtengans), was designed as a transatlantic transport aircraft for use during the Second World War, but only completed after the war. Due to restrictions on the use of aluminum during the war and concerns about weight, the aircraft was almost entirely made of birch wood. It was the largest amphibious plane ever flying, though it only completed a short flight on November 2, 1947. The plane is in good condition and is currently on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, OREGON, USA.This text is machine translated.
