eBay does not allow us to offer variations of size or scale in one listing but if you would like to see an example of the next larger size or scale model you can do so by clicking on the link below. Please note that the images you see here are of the larger option shown as in the below linked larger model. In some cases, with a smaller scale or sized model the level of fine artwork or decal resolution may not be exactly the same as the larger version.
The fully assembled model comes with a stained solid mahogany (or mahogany with steel arm) stand and is ready to display on your desk, bookcase or wherever you desire. The photographs you see have not been manipulated or digitally edited - they are exactly as the model looks in real life, but unfortunately even digital photography cannot do full justice to the look and feel of the model once you receive it!
