Hobby Master was founded by a group of hobby enthusiasts and specialists who endeavored to establish new industrial standards for die-cast collectibles and provide unprecedented levels of enjoyment to customers. Collectors will be amazed by Hobby Master's highly innovative and detailed features. The EC-121R, nicknamed the 'Batcat,' was a reconnaissance aircraft that saw service - from 1967 to 1970 - with the 553rd RS and 554th RW during the Vietnam War. One of the more incredible Batcat missions occurred on June 4, 1969, when the #67-21487 took off on an eight-hour intelligence-gathering mission. Shortly after its takeoff, however, all four engines shut down without warning, essentially making the aircraft a glider. Amazingly, the pilot managed to keep it in the air, avoiding diving and/or rolling as the engineer managed to restart the engines. It landed at the nearest base in Da Nang and earned the nickname the 'Da Nang Glider.' This 1/200 scale, Hobby Master, die cast replica - an homage to the bravery and cunning displayed by the aircraft's crew - features the signature camouflage paint scheme, simulated cockpit and cabin windows, rotating propellers, detailed radial engines, optional-position landing gear, authentic markings, and a display stand. Measures approximately 7 in long with a 7.5 in wingspan. Historia Emporium - The
