The model is intricately designed to resemble a real Convair CV-580, featuring accurate dimensions and complete texturing. Its components such as propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors are animatable for enhanced functionality. Available in multiple formats, this aircraft was a popular choice among commercial airlines for medium haul, medium load transport during the 1960s to 1970s. It remained active with major and regional airlines until the late 70s to early 80s, when it was replaced by jets like DC-9 and 737s. Designed as a successor for the CV-340 and Martin 404 in smaller regional carriers, the CV-580 had Allison Turboprop engines that provided more power, speed, and efficiency compared to its predecessors. It continued serving freight and charter operations well into the 2000s, but most are now out of service with a few still operational globally.
