The Italeri 1/72 SR-71 Blackbird (145) is a 1/72 scale model kit of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird — the most extraordinary aircraft ever built, capable of flying at over Mach 3.2 at 85,000 feet while conducting strategic reconnaissance. The SR-71 could outrun any missile ever fired at it by simply accelerating away, and served from 1966 to 1999, setting speed and altitude records that remain unbroken. Even at compact 1/72 scale the Blackbird's extraordinary arrow-like form is unmistakable and impressive.
