Description
This exquisitely detailed Herpa die-cast model captures the ATR-42 in Air Bosnia livery at 1:500 scale. The model features the airline's distinctive white, blue, and gold color scheme with fleur-de-lis pattern adorning the fuselage. Precision molding captures the twin turboprop engines, high-wing configuration, and authentic Air Bosnia titles and logos. The clear plastic display case protects this collectible while allowing full visibility from all angles. Article number 512213 represents a piece of Bosnian aviation history in miniature form.
The ATR-42 is a twin-turboprop regional airliner manufactured by the French-Italian consortium ATR (Avions de Transport Régional). First flown in 1984, the ATR-42 quickly became popular with regional carriers worldwide for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and ability to operate from shorter runways. The aircraft typically seats 42-50 passengers and is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW120 series engines driving six-blade propellers. With a range of approximately 1,300 kilometers, the ATR-42 is ideally suited for regional routes connecting smaller cities to major hubs. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 4.5 cm in length with a wingspan of about 4.9 cm, perfectly capturing the proportions of this versatile regional workhorse.
