Description from the seller

We present an exclusive collectible piece from Authentic Models, an internationally renowned brand known for producing high-end decorative objects inspired by historic milestones in navigation, aviation, and exploration. Their creations stand out for the balance between historical accuracy, artisanal quality, and timeless aesthetics, making them highly valued by collectors, interior designers, and corporate spaces alike.

This model reproduces the legendary Spirit of St. Louis, the monoplane with which Charles A. Lindbergh made the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927. The replica stands out for its meticulous historical accuracy, with balanced proportions, vintage-inspired aged finishes, and a high level of detail in the fuselage, wings, and landing gear.

The piece belongs to reference AP 250 and has been designed as a display model, not as a kit, being assembled and finished at the factory. Its visual presence makes it a highly impactful decorative object, ideal for display cases, executive offices, or presentation spaces.

The set of propellers has been handcrafted and restored after the original ones broke, through careful manual work to maintain the aesthetic coherence of the model. As a result of this artisanal process, one of the propellers is slightly shorter and has a minor deviation compared to the other, a subtle detail that does not compromise the overall visual harmony and adds uniqueness and character to the piece, reinforcing its status as a one-of-a-kind collectible item.
