Flying at speeds exceeding Mach 3 and altitudes over 85,000 feet, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird remains the undisputed king of strategic reconnaissance aircraft. COBI has paid homage to this aviation legend with an executive-level block model (#5891) crafted in striking matte-black elements. Today, we break down why this set is a must-have for collectors.
Sleek Aerodynamics & Custom Cockpit Elements
The COBI SR-71 Blackbird captures the unique chined fuselage and twin Pratt & Whitney J58 turbojet engine nacelles with incredible fidelity:
- Matte Black Finish: Custom-molded black bricks absorb light and replicate the radar-evading skin of the real aircraft.
- Dual Pilot Cockpits: Opening canopy hatches reveal detailed seats for both the pilot and Reconnaissance Systems Officer (RSO).
- Display Stand with Plate: Includes a heavy-duty display stand featuring an engraved metal-style nameplate specifying aircraft stats.
