L-188 Electra US Turbo-Prop Airliner 1/144 Minicraft

The Lockheed L-188 Electra was first flown in 1957. It was the first large turboprop airliner built in the United States. The four-engine design had airfield performance capabilities unmatched by many jet transport aircraft even today—particularly on short runways and high field elevations. The final design was launched as the Model 188. The first aircraft took 26 months to complete and by that time Lockheed had orders for 129. The prototype, a Model 188A, first flew in December 1957.  Turboprops were soon replaced by turbojets and many Electras were modified as freighters. Some Electras are still being used in various roles into the 21st century.  The airframe was also used as the basis for the Lockheed P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft.
