Description
This Herpa 1:500 scale die-cast model represents an Olympic Airways Boeing 737-400 in the airline's classic livery featuring the distinctive Olympic rings logo on the tail. The model showcases the white fuselage with blue cheatline and Olympic branding along the fuselage side. Manufactured by Herpa as part of their New Generation series, this collectible features detailed printing, accurate proportions, and rolling landing gear. The model comes with registration markings and represents authentic Olympic Airways fleet colors from the era when the carrier operated this aircraft type.
The Boeing 737-400 is a stretched variant of the 737 Classic series, designed to seat between 146-188 passengers depending on configuration. First introduced in 1988, the 737-400 extended the fuselage by 120 inches compared to the 737-300, making it capable of serving medium-density routes efficiently. Olympic Airways operated several 737-400s as part of their modernization program, using them on domestic Greek routes and short to medium-haul international services. The aircraft measures 36.40m in length with a wingspan of 28.90m and a height of 11.10m. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 7.3cm in length with a wingspan of about 5.8cm.
