Cased measurements -- 34 x 50 x 22in. (86.5 x 127 x 56cm.) A high-quality offering of this much-modelled ship, it was produced at this slightly unusual scale to prove that it could not, in any part, emanate from one of the many kit versions now available. The quality, eye for detail, attractive finish and presentation set it apart from the many others offered to this House. This lot will be available for viewing at Imperial Road
