As used by the US Navy, the P2V-7 served a variety of functions, being easily adaptable to maritime patrol, mine laying, or torpedo bomber duties. It was also used extensively as a hurricane tracker.

During the International Geophysical Year -known as IGY (1957 to 1958) and particularly in connection with Operation Deep Freeze, several Neptunes were equipped with skis and were used by the Navy in the Antarctic.

IGY was a collaborative effort among 40 nations to carry out earth science studies from the North Pole to the South Pole.

The U.S. along with New Zealand, United Kingdom, France, Japan, Norway, Chile, Argentina, and the U.S.S.R. agreed to go to the South Pole, the least explored area on Earth. Their goal was to advance world knowledge of Antarctic hydrography
and weather systems, glacial movements, and marine life.

This kit will molded in blue and clear. Measures 10.75 inches long. 57 pieces. Mold is setup for Operation Deep Freeze. This special version also includes collectible trading card #2. Look for the gold sticker!
