Huge B-36 Bomber for sale.

This famous model was built over 50 years ago,I remember seeing it in a model magazine at the time,it has 6 petrol engines and 4 pulsejets,although never flown the model was probably the first of the large model brigade subjects and as such is a piece of modelling history,would not even think about how many sheets of balsa went into this one ? just imagine starting all of those engines at once,the noise must have been something to witness.
I doubt whether it will realise its reserve,very few of this type of thing seem to,and it will certainly need a crate making to ship it.
