High-quality resin kit in 1/72 scale,
More than 30 parts with great level of details and 1 colourful marking for a USAF plane 

Popularly known in the Air Force as the Blue Canoe, the U-3 is the military version of the Cessna 310 light twin-engine transport. The prototype made its first flight on 3 January 1953. Production for the civilian market began in 1954, and in 1957, the USAF selected the aircraft for service as a light administrative liaison, cargo, and utility transport. The Air Force eventually bought 160 of the 310s off-the-shelf under the original designation L-27A, later changed to the U-3A. Thirty-five more were delivered in 1960-1961 as U-3Bs all-weather versions with more powerful engines, additional cabin windows, a longer nose and a swept vertical fin.
