The Lockheed Vega 5b model from Dora Wings stands out for its detailed reproduction of the aircraft’s structure, realistic fuselage, wings, and tail shapes, as well as very well-fitting parts. Major advantages are the precise surface details, accurately rendered panel lines, and the possibility of building the model in several famous historical configurations.

The Lockheed Vega aircraft was a symbol of record-breaking flights in early aviation – it was this very type that George Hubert Wilkins used for his Arctic flight in 1928, and in 1932, Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. The Record Flights kit version lets you recreate one of these truly inspirational stories.

We especially recommend this product to modelers with intermediate experience, interested in aviation history and building models with remarkable historical backgrounds. It is excellent for collectors of transport aircraft as well as machines associated with record flights and the legacy of Amelia Earhart.

Glue and paints are not included – they are required separately. Thanks to the advanced design and high-quality parts, the Dora Wings Lockheed Vega 5B model guarantees satisfaction during assembly and an impressive final result in any collection.
