A friend wants to buy one of these and has just asked me if it's genuine. It's on Amazon so I guess it's safe to purchase. But other than that, I thought you'd be interested in what's actually more like a Spruce Goose than a Hercules...

The “Spruce Goose” was, correctly, the Hughes H4 Hercules.

That looks interesting. A bit like U gears but in metal. If your friend does buy it any chance of a review please?

Shame they spelled the name wrong on the plinth.

These are where sub-structure models are at IMO:
