This is the "regular" size version of Fiddlers Green model (about 1:60 scale), not the large sized alternative. General modifications to the kit included using a set of wheels from a blister pak jet toy, K&S; aluminum tubing for the propeller shaft housing and front nose wheel, floral arranging wire for wing spars, main landing gear and landing gear wheel pants skeleton on nose wheel, moveable elevator and rudder, and the addition of a pitot tube and radio mast. All in all, it's a beautiful little model.
