The Boeing 747-100 revolutionized commercial aviation when it entered service in 1970 as the world's first wide-body airliner. With a length of 70.66 meters (231 ft 10 in), a wingspan of 59.64 meters (195 ft 8 in), and a height of 19.33 meters (63 ft 5 in), the 747-100 was an engineering marvel of its time. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 14.1 cm in length with a wingspan of about 11.9 cm. The aircraft could carry up to 452 passengers and had a maximum range of 9,800 kilometers, making it ideal for long-haul international routes that Air Siam operated throughout Asia and beyond.
🇹🇭 About the Airline
Air Siam was a Thai airline that operated in the 1960s and 1970s, providing domestic and regional international services. The airline played a significant role in Thailand's aviation development during that era, though it eventually ceased operations. Models featuring Air Siam livery are particularly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and relative scarcity in the die-cast market.
