Description
A desirable Boeing 747-400 representing Air Namibia's flagship long-haul era, featuring the airline's distinctive sun-emblem tail and registration V5-NMB.
This exquisite 1:500 scale die-cast model represents an Air Namibia Boeing 747-400, manufactured by Herpa Wings. The model features the airline's distinctive livery with the Namibian flag colors prominently displayed on the tail—a striking combination of blue, red, green, and the golden sun symbol. The crisp white fuselage bears the Air Namibia titles and logo, with meticulous attention to detail including accurately printed windows, doors, and panel lines. The undercarriage is modeled with precision, and the four engines are faithfully reproduced. This collectible comes with registration details and represents Air Namibia's flagship wide-body aircraft.
The Boeing 747-400 is an advanced variant of the iconic jumbo jet, featuring improved fuel efficiency and extended range compared to earlier models. With a length of 70.70 meters, wingspan of 64.90 meters, and height of 19.40 meters, this magnificent aircraft could carry up to 416 passengers in typical three-class configuration. Air Namibia briefly operated Boeing 747 aircraft during its long-haul expansion period, making these models particularly desirable among collectors of African aviation memorabilia, connecting Windhoek to destinations in Europe and beyond. The aircraft type entered service in 1989 and became the most successful 747 variant, with distinctive winglets that improved aerodynamic performance.
