This is a 1:200 scale die-cast model airplane from Hobby Master of the L-188 Electra in the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines colors. In 1954 American Air Lines was in the market for a 75 to 100 passenger aircraft for its short to medium range domestic routes. In response Lockheed developed the low wing L-188 Electra powered by four sleek turboprops instead of the usual large radial engines or jet turbines. The combination of engine and the Hamilton Standard propeller offered a an altitude of 20,000 25,000 feet. When production ended in 1961 there had been 170 Electras completed. Made by Hobby Master, this 1/200 scale, die cast model of Neptunus a Lockheed L-188 Electra delivered to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (the only European airline to order the type) in 1960 features engraved panel lines, rotating propellers, separately applied plastic detail parts, optional position landing gear, and a gorgeous 1960s livery. 6" wingspan; includes a display stand.
