Explore our selection of detailed diecast models of the Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy - Authentically Crafted, Historically Accurate, and Collectible Airplane Models.
The Armstrong Whitworth AW.660 Argosy, a distinctive British aircraft, is celebrated for its unique design and versatile functionality. Introduced in the 1960s, this medium-range turboprop freighter is easily recognizable by its high-mounted wings and twin booms, allowing for a rear loading ramp.
