Meticulous construction that is simply overwhelming. Mahogany plank on frame with all brass fittings, authentic to the original. Nearly impossible to execute with nearly every surface being curved. Powerplant is a scratch-built overhead cam .99 spark ignition gas engine, in itself a work of art. 11x8x50 inches.
