Manufactured by Herpa Miniaturmodelle, this collector's piece features authentic Delta markings including the iconic red and blue cheatline along the fuselage and the distinctive tail design. The model showcases remarkable attention to detail with precisely rendered landing gear, propellers, and window details that reflect the actual aircraft photographed by Bob Garrard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Convair 440 Metropolitan was an American twin-engine propeller-driven airliner built by Convair between 1955 and 1958. With a wingspan of 32.12 meters, length of 24.84 meters, and height of 8.58 meters, the CV-440 was an improved version of the earlier Convair 340, featuring more powerful engines and increased passenger capacity. Delta Air Lines operated these aircraft extensively on short to medium-haul routes across the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, making them a cornerstone of domestic air travel during the golden age of aviation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇺🇸 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eDelta Air Lines, founded in 1924, is one of the world's oldest and largest airlines. Originally starting as a crop-dusting operation in Georgia, Delta has grown into a major global carrier. The airline's operation of the Convair 440 during the 1950s-60s represented an important era in its development as a premier domestic carrier, bridging the gap between piston-engine and jet aircraft.\n            ","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54611344785754,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/P9297233.JPG?v=1787230117","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/die-cast-model-delta-air-lines-convair-440-herpa-1-500-with-original-box","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
