Description
This meticulously crafted Herpa Wings die-cast model represents a British Airways Boeing 737-400 in the airline's classic Landor livery. The model features the distinctive dark blue fuselage with red speedbird tail fin design that was iconic during the 1990s. With exceptional attention to detail including printed window lines, accurate engine nacelles, and rolling landing gear, this 1:500 scale replica captures the essence of British Airways' short to medium-haul workhorse. The model comes in its original packaging and represents a significant piece of aviation history from one of the world's most recognized airlines.
The Boeing 737-400 is a stretched variant of the popular 737 Classic series, designed to bridge the gap between the 737-300 and larger aircraft. With a length of 36.6 meters, wingspan of 28.9 meters, and height of 11.1 meters, the 737-400 could accommodate up to 188 passengers in a single-class configuration. British Airways operated a substantial fleet of 737-400s primarily on European and domestic UK routes throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The aircraft was powered by two CFM56-3 turbofan engines and offered excellent fuel efficiency and reliability for high-frequency short-haul operations.
