Metal 3D model Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird Metal Earth ME1034

The Metal Earth ME1034 Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is a 3D metal model dedicated to one of the most iconic aircraft in aviation history. It recreates the SR-71 Blackbird, a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed and its Skunk Works division.

The SR-71 Blackbird was designed to fly at extremely high speeds. Capable of exceeding Mach 3.5, the aircraft was built mainly from titanium to withstand the extreme temperatures generated by high-speed flight. At full speed, the aircraft’s surface could exceed 260°C. The Blackbird completed 3,551 missions without a single example being lost as a result of enemy military action.

This Metal Earth model lets you recreate the instantly recognizable SR-71 silhouette: a slender fuselage, a long nose, swept wings, and integrated engine nacelles. The parts are pre-cut on metal sheets; they detach and then assemble to form the finished model. The moderate assembly level is aimed at modelers from 14 years old who want to build a compact metal replica of a historic reconnaissance aircraft.

Once completed, the model naturally fits into a collection focused on military aviation, Lockheed aircraft, high-technology prototypes, or 3D metal models. Its compact format also makes it easy to display on a desk, shelf, or in a display case.
