Description
This detailed 1:500 scale die-cast model represents an Air Berlin Fokker 100 in the airline's distinctive red and white livery. Manufactured by Herpa, a renowned German producer of high-quality miniature aircraft models, this collectible features authentic AIR-BERLIN markings along the fuselage with the airline's signature branding.

The Fokker 100 is a medium-range twin-turbofan airliner developed by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. First introduced in the late 1980s, it was designed as a modernized successor to the Fokker F28 Fellowship, featuring improved fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. The aircraft typically seats between 97-122 passengers and became popular with regional and medium-sized carriers across Europe and beyond. With a wingspan of 28.08 meters (92 ft 1 in), length of 35.53 meters (116 ft 7 in), and height of 8.60 meters (28 ft 2 in), the Fokker 100 served as a reliable workhorse for short to medium-haul routes. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 7.1 cm in length with a wingspan of approximately 5.6 cm.
🇩🇪 About the Airline
Air Berlin was Germany's second-largest airline and a major European carrier operating from 1978 to 2017. Known for its distinctive red livery and the tagline "We fly Europe," Air Berlin provided scheduled domestic and international flights, focusing heavily on leisure destinations across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, and intercontinental routes. The airline operated a diverse fleet including Boeing and Airbus aircraft, along with regional jets like the Fokker 100. Air Berlin's bankruptcy in 2017 marked the end of an era for German aviation, making models in its livery particularly sought-after by collectors today.
