BRITISH CONTEMPORARY WORLD WAR II BOMBER MODEL
Nicely hand-carved wood model of a British twin-engined bomber, possibly an Avro Anson, likely carved by a serviceman during the war. The hand-painted model measures 17" long with a 26" wide wing span. A partitioned celluloid windscreen is fitted before the pilot's compartment and a hand-carved gunner sits at top, although his canopy is no longer present. The model is further fitted with turning props and rubber wheels. Some separation at seams as the wood dried, else very good. Provenance: The War Museum, New York.
