Description
This meticulously crafted die-cast model represents a Northwest Airlines Boeing 747-400 in the carrier's classic livery featuring the distinctive red top fuselage and tail with the white 'N' logo. Manufactured by Schabak at 1:600 scale, this model captures the essence of one of Northwest's flagship wide-body aircraft. The model features accurate detailing including painted windows, engines, and the airline's signature color scheme that made Northwest instantly recognizable at airports across the globe. Article number 7417.400 represents a piece of aviation history from this now-merged carrier.
The Boeing 747-400 was the most advanced version of the iconic 'Queen of the Skies' jumbo jet when it entered service in 1989. Northwest Airlines operated a substantial fleet of 747-400s on long-haul international routes, particularly across the Pacific to Asia where the airline had a strong presence. This four-engine wide-body aircraft measures 70.66 meters in length with a wingspan of 64.44 meters and stands 19.41 meters tall. The 747-400 could carry up to 416 passengers in a typical three-class configuration and had a range of approximately 13,450 kilometers, making it ideal for Northwest's transpacific operations.
