This 1:72 scale model depicts the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura, a naval bomber and maritime patrol aircraft used by the U.S. Navy during World War II in escort, anti-submarine, and reconnaissance missions.
Based on the civilian Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar, the PV-1 was modified for combat with reinforced structure, extra fuel tanks, and search radar. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engines, it reached speeds over 500 km/h with long-range endurance.
The Academy kit features engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit, realistic bomb bay, rotating dorsal turret, and accurate landing gear.
High-quality decals reproduce the blue-gray U.S. Navy camouflage, complete with white star insignia from the Pacific theater.
A detailed and elegant model celebrating the heritage of American naval aviation.
