The model features the airline's distinctive livery with a white fuselage, elegant cheatline running along the body, and the characteristic red calligraphy logo on the tail fin. The model includes rolling landing gear, detailed engine nacelles with painted fan blades, and accurate window positioning throughout the fuselage. Item number 2002-37, this piece captures the essence of British Asia Airways' long-haul operations with exceptional attention to detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Boeing 747-400 is one of aviation's most iconic wide-body jetliners, representing the pinnacle of the 747 family's development. With its distinctive hump and four-engine configuration, the 747-400 offered improved range, efficiency, and capacity compared to earlier variants. The aircraft measures 70.66 meters in length with a wingspan of 64.44 meters and stands 19.41 meters tall. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 14.1 cm in length with a wingspan of about 12.9 cm, making it an ideal size for display and collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇬🇧 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eBritish Asia Airways was a British airline subsidiary established by British Airways to serve routes to Taiwan and other Asian destinations where political sensitivities prevented BA from operating under its own name. Operating from 1993 to 2001, the airline used British Airways aircraft in a modified livery featuring distinctive calligraphy on the tail. It represented an interesting chapter in aviation diplomacy and remains a sought-after subject for collectors due to its unique historical significance and relatively short operational period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54498404925786,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/P9136655.JPG?v=1785853322","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/die-cast-model-british-asia-airways-boeing-747-400-big-bird-1-500-with-original-box","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
