The propeller can spin and it moves the "cylinders" with it, as
supposed and the wheels (same brick as the steering wheel in 8448 BTW)
in the landing gear can rotate. It's not retractable as this is not
possible in the original either (they invented retractable landing
gears in WWII to allow for more speed).
Other things that move is the control stick, but there are no rudders
at all.
Remember that this is a statue :)
I got a mail-request for some meassurements so I might as well
copy-paste them here too:
Wingspan: 465 mm [18.307"]
Length: 410 mm [16.142"]
Heigt: 165 mm [6.496"]
Fuselage widht: 65 mm [2.559"](eight studs), in front
Tail heigt: 85 mm [3.364"]
Tail width: 160 mm [6.299"]
Prop diam.: 152 mm [5.984"]
Wing width: 80 mm [3.15"](front to back of wings)
Tail wing width: 56 mm [2.205"]
Heigt between the bi wings: 77 mm [3.031"]
Meassurements are not meassured with greatest care and might be of a
mm or two.
Can't think of any other meassurement to do, ask if you want to know
something else :)

| (...) It's actually got a spinning radial engine? Sweet! When I get one I'd like to try adding moving control surfaces to it... Awesome pix by the way! Thanx! :] KDJ ___...___ LUGNETer #203, Windsor, Ontario, Canada (23 years ago, 27-May-01, to lugnet.general)
