The scale model exhibits accurate dimensions and features complete texturing. It encompasses animateable components such as propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors. Available in various formats, this model replicates the Convair CV-580, a popular medium haul, medium load transport aircraft for commercial airlines during the 1960s and 70s. Operating with major and regional airlines until the late 70s and early 80s, it was often replaced by jets like DC-9 and 737s. Intended as successors to the CV-340 and Martin 404, these planes featured Allison Turboprop engines for increased power, speed, and efficiency. They continued serving smaller carriers for freight and charter operations well into the 2000s, although many have now been retired. Some still operate globally today.
