L-188 American Desktop Wood ModelDescription: The L-188 Electra is an American turboprop airliner built by Lockheed. The L-188 first flew in 1957, and was the first large turboprop airliner produced in the United States. Unfortunately after two fatal crashes, no further orders were placed - only 170 were built. However, many were modified as freighters and the type continues to operate in various roles into the 21st Century. This specific model is painted in the American Airlines paint scheme. American Airlines is a major U.S. airline headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. American Airlines operates an extensive international and domestic network, with scheduled flights throughout North America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and Asia/Pacific.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and history buff!
