SPITFIRE X4276 KL-B 14" SCULPTURE
A limited edition of just 24 dramatic fourteen-inch wingspan sculptures crafted of aluminium originating from the casing of X4276's Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Numbers 1 to 12 will be mounted upon the twelve original pistons removed from X4276's V12 Merlin and numbers 13 through to 24 upon the twelve beautifully engineered original engine conrods. All are supported by purposefully made bronze stalks with precision engineered ball and sockets which facilitate movement so the sculptures can be placed in various attitudes of ‘flight’. All sculptures are set upon a mahogany and burr walnut plinth, although other wood options are available on request.
The sculptures are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed both by Christopher Bennett of TMB Art Metal and, more significantly, Alex Henshaw, the renowned Supermarine Chief Test Pilot so instrumental in the Spitfire’s development in the 1930’s, but who has now sadly passed away.
