The Lockheed SR-71"Blackbird" is the US Air Force's ultimate reconnaissance aircraft produced in the sixties by Lockheed's Skunk Works. American aerospace engineer Clarence "Kelly" Johnson was responsible for many of the groundbreaking ideas used in this aircraft. The SR-71 operated at extraordinary speeds and elevations during surveillance missions, allowing it to outrace many threats, including missiles. During its service, the SR-71 has received several nicknames, the most famous of which are "Blackbird" and "Habu." Over time, versions with different purposes were developed. The development version was the SR-71A, while later versions had other uses. The SR-71B was a training version, and the SR-71C was a composite aircraft made from the rear fuselage of the first IF-1. This Academy kit faithfully recreates the American SR-71 Blackbird in 1/72 scale.
