On November 2, 1947, the famous giant Hughes H-4 Hercules, or Spruce Goose as it was also known, took off from Los Angeles Harbor for its first and only flight. Built by the eccentric aircraft builder and enthusiast Howard Hughes, the plane was never put into service because it was completed after the war. The plane was supposed to carry up to 750 soldiers at a time and was to become the largest military air transport of the time. However, Howard loved this plane so much that he kept it in working order until 1976, spending about a million a year.

Our Renewed Heavenly Hercules is a tribute to the bold ideas of aircraft manufacturers. This airplane has been a bestseller since its creation. But, as the technique of making these metal models and technologies evolved, an updated, more technically advanced version of this aircraft was released. The stand was changed, it became higher, the grip of the model with the stand was also changed. The start-stop lever was moved to the stand. The airplane itself has become more durable and reliable in operation. The model has become better both in terms of the assembly process and appearance.

If you wind the mechanism spring with the crank handle and pull down the start lever, the airplane will start rotating with all eight propellers. All the gears in both the stand and the airplane will rotate. This performance leaves no one indifferent. The model of the airplane, which seems to be floating in the air, made of semi-matt polished metal, will be a wonderful interior decoration, and therefore a great gift for spending time with a unique hobby.
