This is a die-cast metal and plastic display aircraft.
In 1954, American Airlines was in the market for a 75 to 100 passenger aircraft for its short to medium range domestic routes. In response, Lockheed developed the low wing L-188 Electra powered by four sleek turboprops instead of the usual large radial engines or jet turbines. The combination of engine and the Hamilton Standard propeller offered a much more reliable and efficient aircraft that could travel at 375 mph for 2000 miles at an altitude of 20,000-25,000 feet. When production ended in 1961, 170 Electras had been completed.
This model includes an optional undercarriage.
