Manufactured by Herpa, a renowned German brand known for precision miniature aircraft, this model captures the elegant lines of the four-engine propeller airliner that served during aviation's golden age. The model features detailed printing including the Sabena titles, registration markings (OO-CTK), and the Belgian flag on the tail. With rotating propellers and a metal construction, this collectible represents excellent craftsmanship typical of Herpa's limited edition releases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Douglas DC-6 was a four-engine piston-powered airliner developed in the late 1940s as an evolution of the DC-4. It featured a pressurized cabin, greater range, and improved performance compared to its predecessor. The DC-6 measured approximately 32.18 m (105 ft 7 in) in length with a wingspan of 35.81 m (117 ft 6 in) and a height of 8.66 m (28 ft 5 in). At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 6.4 cm in length with a wingspan of about 7.2 cm. The DC-6 served airlines worldwide from the late 1940s through the 1960s, representing the pinnacle of piston-engine airliner technology before the jet age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇧🇪 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eSabena (Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Aérienne) was the national airline of Belgium from 1923 to 2001. Known for its distinctive blue livery and high service standards, Sabena operated an extensive network connecting Brussels to destinations across Europe, Africa, and North America. The airline played a crucial role in linking Belgium to its former colonial territories in the Congo. Despite its prestigious history, Sabena ceased operations in 2001 following financial difficulties, making models of its aircraft particularly sought-after by collectors.\n            ","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54039708926298,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/EmptyName102.jpg?v=1777113246","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/die-cast-model-sabena-douglas-dc-6-herpa-1-500-with-original-box","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
