This is a model that appears to be made of well detailed strong plastic type material. Inflight model as no landing gear on totally smooth underside. I did not try to retouch any of the paintwork. Threads onto a wooden black base by attachment onto a metal post (bolt?) Will ship unattached to avoid damage by USPS. Free local pickup (all attached) or combined shipping are available if you request an invoice prior to payment. PLEASE enlarge all photos to see detailing. Overall measurements: length 18.5", width 13.5", height 5.5".
