This nearly life-sized model showcases intricate details, including animatable propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors. It's available in various formats and represents the Convair CV-580, a popular medium haul, medium load transport aircraft for commercial airlines during the 1960s and 70s. Operated by major and regional carriers until the late 70s/early 80s, it was often replaced by jets like DC-9 and 737s. Designed as an upgraded version of the CV-340 with Allison Turboprop engines for increased performance, the CV-580 served numerous smaller carriers for freight and charter operations until the 2000s. Although many have retired, some remain in service globally today.
