About this item
The SR-71 Blackbird is the ultimate symbol of the Cold War—an aircraft so fast it didn't need to jam radar; it simply outran every threat sent its way. At 18 inches long, this 1:72 scale model captures the sleek, mysterious "Habu" in all its titanium glory.

Engineering Without Equal
Built in the mid-1960s, the SR-71 was a masterpiece of physics. While flying at 85,000 feet and speeds over 2,000 mph, the aircraft’s skin would heat up to over 600°F, requiring a specialized titanium airframe. For over 30 years, it provided the U.S. Air Force with a "survivable" reconnaissance platform that no enemy could catch. Retired in the 1990s, it remains the benchmark for speed and engineering excellence.
