HISTORY ASPECTS:
The U.S. Navy C-131 Samaritan with bureau number 141017 served as part of the Navy’s long-standing commitment to dependable transport, medevac, and utility missions during the Cold War era. Based on the Convair 340/440 series, the C-131 offered the Navy a rugged, efficient, and flexible twin-engine aircraft capable of operating from a variety of airfields while carrying personnel, patients, and priority cargo. Entering service at a time when reliable logistics were essential to sustaining global naval operations, aircraft like 141017 played a crucial behind-the-scenes role that often went unnoticed compared to their more glamorous front-line counterparts.
Throughout its career, C-131 141017 supported fleet activities across the continental United States and beyond, ferrying sailors, medical staff, and materials between naval air stations, training facilities, and operational hubs. As part of the Navy’s dedicated transport fleet, the aircraft was routinely tasked with medical evacuation missions, where its ability to be quickly configured for stretcher patients made it invaluable. Its pressurized cabin, dependable piston engines, and robust airframe ensured safe, comfortable flights even on demanding cross-country assignments.
Over the decades, aircraft 141017 contributed to a wide range of Navy support operations, from routine personnel movements to specialized missions requiring flexibility and reliability. It also served as a testament to the Convair design’s longevity and the U.S. Navy’s operational resilience. Even after more advanced turboprops and jets entered service, many C-131s—141017 included—continued fulfilling essential roles until finally retired as part of fleet modernization efforts.
This 1:200 scale model captures the timeless lines and classic naval markings of this hardworking transport aircraft. With finely reproduced details and an authentic finish, it’s an excellent addition for collectors of military aviation history, honoring a quiet but indispensable workhorse of U.S. Navy operations.
