The intricately detailed model accurately represents the actual dimensions of the Convair 340, a popular medium haul transport aircraft utilized by commercial airlines during the 1950s and 1960s. Fully textured, this model features animateable components such as propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors. Available in multiple formats, the Convair 340 was initially built for United Airlines and other operators like KLM, essentially a stretched CV-240 with extended wingspan for enhanced high altitude performance. Pressurized, it could accommodate up to 60 passengers comfortably. Post retirement from major airlines in mid-1970s due to the emergence of jets such as DC-9 and 737s, the Convair 340 continued its service as charter and cargo aircraft.
