This is a 1:400 scale model of a very unique and rare (-ish) aircraft, the Volpar Turbo 18. The Volpar Turbo 18 is a conversion of the classic Beechcraft Model 18 small-airliner to Garrett TPE-331 turboprop power and features Volpar's tri-cycle landing gear conversion. The Turbo 18 also features a sleeker new stretched nose to accommodate the front nose gear and to give the aircraft a nice modern look.
