Celestial Hercules DIY Aircraft Model Kit

A Mechanical Marvel Inspired by the Legendary Spruce Goose. Metal Time, the epitome of precision engineering, is proud to introduce the Celestial Hercules — a self-assembly model paying homage to the iconic Hughes H-4 Hercules, commonly known as the Spruce Goose. Crafted entirely from polished stainless steel, this mechanical masterpiece captures the essence of the legendary aircraft’s remarkable history and unique features.
Constructed during wartime aluminum restrictions and weight concerns, the aircraft earned the moniker “Spruce Goose” from critics despite being predominantly made of birch using the Duramold process. Mechanics, humorously referring to it as the “Birch Bitch,” offered a more accurate yet socially unconventional nickname. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, boasting the widest wingspan of any aircraft until the Scaled Composites Stratolaunch took flight on April 13, 2019. The Spruce Goose is well-preserved and on public display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, USA, after being showcased in Long Beach, California, from 1980 to 1992.

The Celestial Hercules is a testament to innovation and engineering prowess. Inspired by the Spruce Goose, our model recreates the largest flying boat ever built with meticulous attention to detail. Despite the historical “unhappiness” of the original plane, we’ve brought it to life, defying history and presenting a mechanical marvel that conquers the sky.
