Touted as the most elaborate nose art on any combat plane, this naughty dragon flows along the side of the fuselage, clutching a frightened young lady in his claws. A clear cockpit and gun turrets are other features of this dramatic model. The lower ball turret can be retracted or extended and rotated. The recessed panel lines, a feature of most Minicraft models, can be appreciated.

The four engines are precisely tooled and the propellers rotate. This model will stand out in any collection!
