Manufactured by Herpa, a renowned German producer of high-quality miniature aircraft models, this piece features the distinctive white fuselage with JAL branding and the airline's signature red tail crane logo.

This officially licensed Boeing product (as indicated by the seal on the packaging) makes it a prized collectible for aviation enthusiasts and JAL admirers alike.
The McDonnell Douglas MD-90 is a twin-engine, single-aisle commercial jet aircraft that entered service in the mid-1990s as an improved and stretched version of the MD-80 series. With a length of 46.5m, wingspan of 32.9m, and height of 9.4m, the MD-90 was powered by two V2525-D5 engines producing 11,339 kg of thrust each, allowing it to carry 166 passengers at a cruising speed of 815 km/h over a range of 2,330 km. Japan Airlines operated the MD-90 on domestic routes throughout Japan, utilizing the aircraft's efficiency and capacity for short to medium-haul flights. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 9.3 cm in length with a wingspan of about 6.6 cm, perfectly capturing the proportions of this distinctive aircraft.
