Description
This highly detailed Herpa Wings Club die-cast model represents a BWIA West Indies Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 500 in stunning 1:500 scale. Released as a limited club edition in 2007 with only 1000 pieces produced, this collectible features the airline's distinctive blue and white livery with decorative artwork on the tail. The model showcases precise panel lines, accurate landing gear, and the characteristic tail-mounted engine of the TriStar configuration. As part of Herpa's premium Wings Club series, this piece represents exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar 500 was a long-range variant of Lockheed's wide-body trijet airliner, designed to compete with the Douglas DC-10 and Boeing 747. BWIA West Indies Airways operated this aircraft type on their international routes, connecting the Caribbean to major destinations in North America and Europe. The TriStar 500 featured a shortened fuselage compared to the standard L-1011, along with increased fuel capacity and extended range capabilities. With original dimensions of 50.09m wingspan, 50.05m length, and 16.87m height, the L-1011 was known for its advanced technology and smooth flying characteristics.
