This meticulously scaled model exhibits genuine dimensions, featuring fully textured components such as animatable propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors. Available in diverse formats, it replicates the renowned Convair CV-580 transport aircraft. Soaring to popularity among medium haul, medium load commercial airlines during the 1960s and 70s, this aircraft was operational with major and regional airlines until jet replacements like DC-9 and 737 emerged in the late 70s and early 80s. A successor to the CV-340 and Martin 404, the CV-580 boasted Allison Turboprop engines for enhanced power, speed, and efficiency. It catered to smaller carriers and freight/charter operations well into the 2000s, although many have since retired. Despite this, some still serve globally today.
