Description

Celebrate a major milestone in aviation with the Authentic Models Ford Trimotor Airplane. This incredibly realistic reproduction is made of corrugated aluminum sheeting, just like the original trimotor monoplane. Manufactured in Ford's own factory, these planes were used by Transworld Airlines to service the San Diego to New York route. Oil companies, wealthy individuals, and the military used these versatile planes to shuttle people and cargo over long distances. This classic design inspired the planes we know and love today. The aluminum construction is unmarked so you can enjoy the quality construction and unique profile of this replica. Some minor assembly is required.
