military for over 25 years. Features: Accurate surface detail,

The SR-71 was developed by Lockheed's "Skunk Works" to replace
the U-2 high altitude spyplane which had become vulnerable to
interception by surface-to-air missiles. The SR-71 is very fast
and with a top speed in excess of 2100mph it still holds many
world speed records. In the early '90s the SR-71 fleet was
mothballed but several aircraft have been reactivated by the
continuing need for a manned reconnaissance capability.
Markings included for one USAF aircraft.
66 parts in black and clear plastic with raised panel lines.
One piece cockpit tub with separate instrument panels, seats, and
seated pilot and observer figures. Optional position canopies.
Detailed landing gear and wheel wells, exhaust nozzles and intake
cones.
