The aircraft used in "The Aviator" were models of about 1/3 scale. One of the air magazines some time ago had an extensive article on them. Beautiful, weren't they?

They made a pretty good replica of this for 'The Aviator', I wonder if it was just a prop or a working plane...

Do you have any comments about this aircraft ?
