The Vickers Viscount was a British medium-range turboprop airliner, first flown in 1948 and representing a major advancement in commercial aviation as the world's first turboprop-powered airliner to enter service. The aircraft typically measured 26.11 meters (85 ft 8 in) in length with a wingspan of 28.56 meters (93 ft 8 in) and a height of 8.15 meters (26 ft 9 in). At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 5.2 cm in length with a wingspan of about 5.7 cm. LOT Polish Airlines operated the Viscount during the 1960s and early 1970s, using it on European routes where its pressurized cabin and smooth turboprop engines provided passengers with unprecedented comfort for the era.
