Brand new 1/72 scale diecast airplane model of Lockheed Alpha Jet Aircraft “VTX-TS Competition” United States Navy “Military” Series die cast model by Herpa. Comes with a display stand. This model does not have any openings. Made of diecast metal with some plastic parts. Dimensions approximately L-6.5, Wingspan-5 inches. Diecast metal and plastic construction for durability and a heavy, realistic feel. In 1978 the United States Navy started the VTX-TS advanced trainer program, seeking a replacement for both the T-2 Buckeye and TA-4 Skyhawk trainers. Dassault and Dornier teamed up with Lockheed to offer a “navalized” version of the then brand new Alpha Jet. The required modifications were minor, including US-sourced avionics and strengthened landing gear for operation from aircraft carriers. In September 1980, Alpha Jet A58 was ferried to the United States and undertook a tour to several Naval Air Stations, being flown and evaluated by more than 70 Navy and Air Force instructor pilots on various sorties. Despite praise from pilots and ground crews for its flight characteristics, low fuel consumption and ease of maintenance, the twin-engine Alpha Jet ultimately lost out to the single-engine T-45 Goshawk, proposed by British Aerospace and produced under license by McDonnell Douglas. Despite not being awarded the contract, the nascent Alpha Jet proved its capabilities early on. Looking back at 50 years of the Alpha Jet, the VIX-TS competition remains an interesting chapter in the long career of the Franco-German trainer and light attack aircraft.

HISTORY ASPECTS: The WC-121N “Draggin’ Lady, ” operated by the US Navy’s Weather Reconnaissance Squadron VW-1, had a significant role during the late 1960s. These aircraft were converted from the Lockheed Super Constellation and served as weather reconnaissance platforms. The primary mission of the WC-121N was to gather meteorological data, especially in the Pacific region, to support military operations and improve overall weather forecasting. In 1967, during the Vietnam War, the WC-121N “Draggin’ Lady” played a crucial role in providing real-time weather information to support naval and air operations in the Pacific theater. Weather conditions were of paramount importance for planning and executing military missions, and the aircraft’s reconnaissance capabilities contributed to the safety and effectiveness of these operations. While not directly involved in armed conflicts, the WC-121N’s contributions were invaluable to military planning and decision-making during this period. This 1:200 scale model pays homage to this unique aircraft, capturing its distinctive features and markings of the WC-121N. Displaying this replica is a tribute to the vital role that weather reconnaissance played in military operations, especially during an era where accurate meteorological data was critical for strategic planning.
