Product Description
The SR-71 with the moniker of Blackbird is one of the most distinctive aircraft from the Cold War particularly for its stealth-inspired look. While its effectiveness as a stealth vehicle is questionable its speed and other flight characteristics ensured that no SR-71 was ever lost to hostile fire despite more than 4 000 shots fired at the 32 SR-71s built. SR-71s logged more than 10 000 mission flight hours despite a fluctuating political climate that caused the program to be deactivated and then reinstated in the late 1980s and early 90s. NASA maintains two SR-71s for experimental purposes. Painstaking effort was taken to ensure that this model of the iconic Blackbird will be a piece that collectors of any sort will treasure.About Toys and Models CorporationSince 1982 Toys and Models has created exquisitely detailed historically accurate replicas of aircraft.

I bought this for my husband who is an avid model plane collector. He was thrilled, so it must pass the reality test.
