Both make for interesting transport modes; does the winged whale refuel through that open mouth?

Perfect for taking a high-level look for trouble.  That yellow goes perfectly with the giraffe head.

So,,,Who/what gets the seal's head?

Definitely has the look down for a design from the 1930's.  What bits and pieces went into this uniquely attractive model?

True, though it would need a third engine to *really* look Italian. ;)

Italian?  ???

Looks very British, rather Hendon-ish.
