Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:72 scale US NAVY LOCKHEED S-3B VIKING 159746 “BLOODHOUNDS”(HA4911) by Hobby Master

Established as the Naval Weapons Test Squadron Point Mugu on 8 May 1995, VX-30 is the principal naval flight and ground test unit for all Point Mugu Naval Air Systems Command aircraft and aircraft functions, including logistics and training support.

First appearing in late 2009, the Vikings were used for their surveillance capabilities on the Sea Test Range. Because of their agility and speed, they were able to much more quickly identify and locate various vessels which may impact the operations being conducted. In January 2016, the Navy retired the S-3 Viking from service completely, and thus, the S-3 is no longer flown by VX-30, or any other command in the US Navy.

This model air-plane is made from die-cast metal and plastic and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Century Wings, Calibre Wings and Gemini Jets.

Includes display stand
