SR-71 Blackbird Steel Model Kit

This officially licensed Metal Earth kit reproduces the Lockheed Martin SR-71 Blackbird in steel. It contains 13 parts and a display stand, aimed at adult collectors and hobby enthusiasts who appreciate true-to-scale military aircraft detail.

Assembly notes and common issues

No glue or paint is required, but tweezers or similar tools are recommended for the moderate-difficulty build. The model has no openings, so interior detailing is absent; first-time builders often struggle with the small tabs and achieving perfect alignment on the curved fuselage sections.

Display and handling characteristics

Assembled dimensions are approximately 3.98 inches long, 2.05 inches wide and 1.18 inches high. The steel construction resists warping under normal indoor conditions, making it suitable for long-term shelf display without the sag or discolouration that can affect plastic kits over time.
