Due to restrictions during the war on the use of aluminum and also concerns about weight, the plane was built almost entirely of birch wood. It was the largest amphibious plane to ever fly though that was only one brief flight on November 2, 1947. The aircraft remains in good condition and is currently on display at the Evergreen Aviation \u0026amp; Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA.","brand":"Sales Shoppers LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42771034964031,"sku":null,"price":46.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/salesshoppers.com\/products\/model-kit-hughes-h-4-hercules-flying-boat-the-spruce-goose-moderate-difficulty-steel-model-by-metal-earth","provider":"Sales Shoppers LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
