Description This is a 1/72 SR-71A Blackbird Plastic Model Aircraft Kit. Skill Level 2 for ages 10 to Adult, Intermediate to Advanced Modelers.
Facts Prototype Information: Manufacturer: Lockheed, USA Name: SR-71A Blackbird Description: 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.
