Description
This exquisitely detailed die-cast model represents a SABENA Belgian World Airlines McDonnell Douglas DC-10 in the carrier's classic livery. Manufactured by Schabak in Germany, this model features the iconic white fuselage with blue cheatline and SABENA branding along the length of the aircraft. The tail displays the distinctive blue design with the airline's logo. Article number 902/6, this collectible showcases precise panel lines, accurately rendered engines, and authentic airline markings that capture the essence of SABENA's long-haul fleet during its operational years.
The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a wide-body trijet airliner that first flew in 1970 and became a workhorse for long-haul routes worldwide. Powered by three turbofan engines (two wing-mounted and one in the tail), the DC-10 was designed to carry up to 380 passengers depending on configuration. The real aircraft measures approximately 55.5 m (182 ft) in length with a wingspan of 50.4 m (165 ft) and height of 17.7 m (58 ft). At 1:600 scale, this model measures approximately 9.3 cm (3.7 in) in length with a wingspan of about 8.4 cm (3.3 in), making it a compact yet highly detailed representation of this tri-jet classic.
