Description
This meticulously crafted Herpa Wings die-cast model represents a Lufthansa McDonnell Douglas DC 10-30 in the classic livery featuring the iconic yellow and blue crane logo on the tail. The model showcases excellent attention to detail with accurate paint application, precise panel lines, and authentic airline markings including registration number and aircraft type designation. Manufactured by Herpa, a leading German producer of collectible aviation miniatures, this 1:500 scale replica captures the distinctive tri-jet configuration that made the DC-10 instantly recognizable during its service years.
The McDonnell Douglas DC 10-30 was a long-range wide-body tri-jet airliner that entered service in 1971 and became a workhorse for many major airlines worldwide. With a wingspan of 50.40 meters, length of 55.35 meters, and height of 17.55 meters, the DC-10-30 was designed for intercontinental routes and could carry up to 380 passengers depending on configuration. Lufthansa operated the DC-10 extensively on long-haul routes, particularly transatlantic services, making it an integral part of the German carrier's fleet throughout the 1970s and 1980s before retirement.
