COBI 5890 Armed Forces Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Building Set, 1424 Pcs, Age 8+

The SR-71 Blackbird was an American reconnaissance aircraft that served in the
United States Air Force from the 1960s to the 1990s. It was designed by
Lockheed Martin and was one of the fastest aircraft in the world. Its maximum
speed exceeded Mach 3 (over 3, 700 km/h), and thanks to its operational
altitude of up to 26 km, it was difficult for anti-missile defense systems to
shoot down. The SR-71 had an advanced design, using titanium, which allowed it
to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during supersonic flight. It
was mainly used for intelligence gathering as its ability to escape from enemy
missiles was a legendary asset. From 1.424 high-quality COBI blocks you can
build the iconic SR-71 plane in a modeling scale of 1:48. This plane appears
for the first time in the COBI collection. The set has been carefully designed
and its construction will bring a lot of satisfaction to the demanding
builder. Detachable landing gear, movable wing ailerons and an opening cockpit
are just some of the aviation functionalities that you will discover during
construction. It has been covered with durable prints showing US Air Force
markings. Also, the plane has NASA markings available only in the Executive
Edition. In addition, the plane has two vibrant flames emerging from the
powerful Pratt-Whitney engines. The set also includes figures of two pilots: a
USAF pilot and a NASA pilot. They are dressed in characteristic suits with
helmets designed for flying at very high altitudes. The whole set is
complemented by a block display stand with a plate containing the name of the
set and the Lockheed Martin logo. Thanks to the intuitive instructions
construction is simple and will not cause problems for less advanced builders.
The set will meet the expectations of aviation fans, military enthusiasts and
building block hobbyists. The SR-71 Blackbird will look great both in an adult
collector and in a teenager's room. Build history, piece by piece, with COBI!
