Prop seems too wobbly to be attached to an engine.

Still nice!

I google-translated through a lot of this and there are several mentions of "purple phone change" - no idea what this might mean.

There is an original "George" in Japan, but that is an ocean recovery (though in surprising good condition). Maybe someone used that as inspiration for a very good reproduction?

Wasnt there an elderly Japanese gentleman that was building a replica using many original parts?Not Harada san though.
Pacific Wrecks maybe?
