This striking MQ-9 Reaper scale model aircraft or, drone aircraft as it if often called, is a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle.) The MQ-9 Reaper is crafted from Philippine mahogany wood and is an impressive aviation gift. The model aircraft arrives fully assembled and includes a display stand.
The MQ-9 Reaper was designed and built by General Dynamics, and currently there are 57 MQ-9 Reapers worldwide. Unlike the MQ-1 Predator that was mainly used for surveillance, the MQ-9 Reaper has been upgraded with more powerful turbo-prop engines and more advanced weaponry. Both the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy that use these remotely piloted aircraft consider the MQ-9 Reaper a “hunter-killer” combat vehicle.
Service by Tailwinds was excellent. Arrived within 3 days when expected 7. Model is great and just what I was looking for. Will definitely use tailwinds again.

Very nice model for a going away gift. Was larger than expected. Call-in customer service found the model in the CA warehouse and shipping was fast and delivered by our promised deadline.
