        This is a 1/48 Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Plastic Jet Model Kit.

Prototype Information:
  Manufacturer: Lockheed, USA
  Name: SR-71A Blackbird
  Description: The SR-71 was developed by Lockheed's "Skunk Works" to replace
   the U-2 high altitude spyplane which had become vulnerable to interception
   by surface-to-air missiles.  The SR-71 is very fast and with a top speed in
   excess of 2100mph it still holds many world speed records. In the early '90s
   the SR-71 fleet was mothballed but several aircraft have been reactivated by
   the continuing need for a manned reconnaissance capability.
