The model meticulously replicates the actual dimensions and features, including animateable propellers, ailerons, flaps, elevators, landing gear, and landing gear doors. It is available in various formats. The Convair CV-580 was a prominent transport aircraft for medium hauls and medium loads in the 1960s and 70s, operating with major and regional airlines until the late '70s and early '80s when they were replaced by jets like DC-9 and 737s. Designed to succeed the CV-340 and Martin 404, it boasted Allison Turboprop engines for increased power, speed, and efficiency. Many smaller carriers utilized the aircraft for freight and charter operations well into the 2000s; however, most are now retired, with a few still in service globally.
