Description
This Schabak 1:600 scale diecast model represents a British Midland Douglas DC-9-32 in the airline's classic livery. The model features the distinctive blue fuselage stripe with the BM logo on the tail, capturing the essence of British Midland's branding from this era. Made in Germany by Schabak, this model showcases fine detail work typical of the brand's quality production standards. The registration DC-9-32 is clearly visible on the fuselage, and the model includes detailed engine nacelles and landing gear. This collectible piece comes in its original packaging with the characteristic blue British Midland branding.
The Douglas DC-9-32 was a popular short to medium-range twin-engine jet airliner that served airlines worldwide from the 1960s through the 1990s. This variant featured a stretched fuselage compared to earlier DC-9 models, providing increased passenger capacity while maintaining excellent runway performance. The DC-9-32 typically measured approximately 119 feet 4 inches in length with a wingspan of 93 feet 5 inches and a height of 27 feet 6 inches. British Midland operated several DC-9 aircraft during its history, using them primarily on domestic UK routes and short European sectors before transitioning to more modern aircraft types.
