This is a rare bit of airframe structure which is very large and very clean with its factory applied black ink maker stamps.
This substantial piece retains areas of its original grey and green paintwork, still clearly visible and well preserved. The structure which is several parts still riveted together shows evidence of crash impact, having been torn and bent on contact, yet remains solid and stable. It has been carefully cleaned while preserving its authentic relic character. Measuring approximately 12 inches by 6 inches, it is an impressive and highly displayable piece, ideal for any serious collection.
