This model represents the Lockheed DL-1 Vega aircraft, also known as the "Antipodes Vega", one of the key designs of the early aviation era.

The Lockheed Vega is an American single-engine high-wing monoplane designed in the 1920s by the Lockheed Corporation from the USA. The DL-1 Vega model was produced as part of an improved series, utilizing a lightweight yet durable aluminum construction. This aircraft was famous for its reliability, long range, and performance, making it an ideal choice for both aviation pioneers and military use.

The Vega participated in numerous transcontinental and record-breaking flights. Its most famous users were pioneering aviators such as Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post. The aircraft was used in the 1920s and 1930s – in the interwar period and just before World War II, both in the USA and other countries that acquired single units.
