Yeah, have a look at the Evergreen Musem site - they've got the real item. It was a real chore to bring it from California to Northern Oregon............
have a look at
http://www.sprucegoose.org/
that'll reveal all.

P.S I also have some photos of the real Spruce Goose on my Photos/Museums pages... That is one BIG plane! The rudder to over 70 feel tall. The wing span is 100 feet MORE than a 747!!!!

YES... Minicraft makes one. You can get it thru Squadron (or at the museum in McMinnville, OR).

The kit does not fit really well... but it's easy to make it fit. I have one under contruction, with some photos of it as I go along on my Site (see below).

There is also a photo of the model on my home page, next to a 737 of the same scale... WOW!

To see my build... go to my SIte, Articles, Model Builds, and you'll see it listed there.

Hi Ron,

Minicraft makes a 1:200 scale model of the Goose. I've never built one, so I don't know how the kit is.
