About product

Landing devices for the Lockheed L-188 Electra

A set for improving the model of the American turboprop airliner in 1:144 scale. It replaces the fixed trailing edge of the base kit with a rendition that has the flaps lowered to the full angle, that is in the state where the machine is descending to the runway. The kit the accessory is intended for is named in the name of the item.

A turboprop machine of the late 1950s

The Electra was the first large turboprop airliner built in the United States. Four Allison units powered a medium-sized machine intended for routes where a jet would not have paid for itself. After two accidents at the start of the 1960s the design went through changes to the mounting of the engine nacelles. Cargo versions and firefighting specials, meanwhile, went on flying long afterward.

Recommendation for fitting the parts

Cut the original edge away only after checking the outline dry, and make sure the cut runs in the same plane on both wings. Paint the inner surfaces before you glue the flaps on, because once they are seated a brush will no longer reach them. The thin edges call for careful sanding, so that they do not stay square.

Suitable for

  • Collectors of American airliners of the postwar era
  • Models being prepared for a base with an airport apron
  • Builders who are bothered by a fixed trailing edge
  • Display cases focused on turboprop transport

FAQ

You will not find a fuselage, tail surfaces or engines there. It is a targeted improvement of one part of the wing; the rest you bring from your own model.

It was the first large turboprop airliner of American manufacture. It combined decent speed with being undemanding about short runways.

You have to cut part of the wing away and level the new assembly. Without a steady hand and a sharp tool it is not worth starting.

The high-lift devices of the wing did not differ on the cargo conversions, so it looks just as good on a model of such a variant.
