1424 Pieces
The SR-71 Blackbird is one of the most iconic machines in the history of aviation, which has inspired admiration and respect for decades. Now you can bring this legend to your home by building this unique model in 1:48 scale!
It was the fastest aircraft ever introduced into operational service in the Air Force. It was designed at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s on behalf of the CIA but was also operated by NASA and the USAF.
The SR-71 is a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft, reaching a speed of Mach 3.5 and a ceiling of 26,000 meters, making it untraceable for the defense systems of that time.
A total of 32 SR-71s were built. Due to the very high costs of maintaining this aircraft and the infrastructure necessary for its operation it was withdrawn in the late 1980s. Now, the role of SR-71 aircraft has been taken over by reconnaissance satellites and drones. The last flight of this type of aircraft took place on October 9, 1999.
Build a legend of aviation, and the SR-71 Blackbird will become the pride of your collection and a monument to technological achievement!
Only in this exclusive edition does the set contain figures of two pilots: a USAF pilot and a NASA pilot. They are dressed in characteristic suits with helmets designed for flying at very high altitudes. Additionally, the plane has NASA markings available only in the Executive Edition. The aircraft model has a detachable landing gear, so that it can be presented in all its glory on the display stand to look as if it was in a dynamic flight.
