Description

This amazingly detailed model starts as two 4″ square sheets and finishes as a 3-D model. It is approximately 5.43″ x 3.74 x 1.061″ when assembled and this one features a Pan American World Airways China Clipper, as seen in the Indiana Jones movie Raiders of the Lost Ark. Epitomizing the glamour of the golden age of flight, the Pan American China Clipper took Indy to Manila en route to Marion’s Bar in Nepal. China Clipper (NC14716) was the first of three Martin M-130 four-engine flying boats built for Pan American Airways. In November of 1935 it was used to inaugurate the first commercial transpacific air service from San Francisco to Manila by way of Honolulu, Midway and Wake Island. It continued to fly the Pacific for the next eight years carrying approximately 3,500 passengers and 750,000 lbs of mail and freight. The sheets contain detailed laser etching for easy removal. Complete instructions are included to show you how to pop out the pieces, bend the tabs, and connect them at the attachment points with an average assembly time of 30-45 minutes. No glue is required. It has been stored in a smoke and pet free environment. We also offer an optional LED base or a Solar Powered Spinner for better display of your model.
