Description
This exquisite Herpa Wings 1:500 scale die-cast model represents a Lufthansa Vickers Viscount V814, part of Herpa's acclaimed 'Yesterday' series. The model features authentic Lufthansa livery with the airline's classic blue and yellow striping along the fuselage, complete with period-correct markings and registration. Crafted with Herpa's renowned attention to detail, this collectible showcases the distinctive nose shape and four-engine turboprop configuration that made the Viscount an icon of 1950s aviation. The model includes finely molded propellers, detailed landing gear, and precise window placement.
The Vickers Viscount V814 was a British turboprop airliner that revolutionized commercial aviation in the 1950s as the world's first turboprop-powered transport to enter service. With a length of 28.63 meters, wingspan of 35.82 meters, and height of 8.40 meters, the Viscount offered unprecedented passenger comfort with its pressurized cabin and smooth, quiet turboprop engines. Lufthansa operated several Viscounts during the airline's rebuilding phase in the 1950s and 1960s, using them on European routes where the aircraft's economical operation and passenger appeal made it highly successful.
