BRITISH 747-400 1/200 W/GEAR BOAC 100 YEAR LIVERY

British Airways Boeing 747-400 - Registration G-BYGC - adorned in its commemorative 100th anniversary BOAC "Gold Speedbird" livery that the airline used between 1963 and 1974, was the last remaining Boeing 747-400 in British Airway's fleet, having made its final flight on December 11, 2020. The model measures approximately 13-7/8-inches long with a 12-7/8-inch wingspan and comes complete with Landing Gear and a Display Stand. An accurate, true-to-scale reproduction of the actual aircraft, the model is great for collectors and features authentic, highly detailed graphics and markings. Easily discernible from earlier 747 models by its prominent wingtip extensions and winglets, the Boeing 747-400 was initially introduced in 1984 as an advanced variant of its predecessor, the Boeing 747-300 - known as the Advanced 300 Series - as it was intended to be more cost-effective than the -300, with more efficient engines, a greater range, at nearly 7,300 nautical miles, and due to the development and implementation of a "glass cockpit," it did away with the need for a flight engineer, consequently enabling the aircraft to be flown by a two person crew.

This true to scale model features solid injection molded plastic construction with highly detailed graphics. Great for collectors with authentic markings and designs. The snap-fit design allows for easy assembly. All models include a display stand. Model is approximately 14 inches long with 11 3/4 inch wingspan.

Features:

- Solid molded plastic construction.

- Realistic panel lines and surface details.

- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.

- Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
