Historic Convair 990 Coronado
The Convair 990 Coronado was developed as a high-speed commercial jetliner during the early 1960s. Powered by four General Electric CJ805-23 aft-fan jet engines, the aircraft was designed for near-sonic cruising speeds and became one of the fastest commercial airliners of its era.
The Convair 990 also played a role in aviation research. NASA used modified examples for landing systems research associated with the Space Shuttle program, making this aircraft an interesting subject for collectors of both commercial and experimental aviation.
NASA Markings and Classic Display
This Atlantis release includes NASA decals created by Starfighter Decals, offering a distinctive alternative to traditional airline markings. The included clear swivel stand allows the finished Coronado to be displayed in flight.
Builder's note: This vintage-style kit does not include transparent window or canopy parts. The fuselage mounting slot must be fully opened to accommodate the swivel stand's mounting ball.
Assembly and Finishing
The white molded parts provide a convenient starting point for the NASA finish. Recommended paint colors include black, blue, white, silver, and red. Additional detailing can enhance the engines, wings, and aircraft markings.
Paint and plastic model glue are required and sold separately. This is an unassembled static plastic model kit.
