Description
This exquisite 1:500 scale die-cast model represents a South African Airways Boeing 747-300 wearing the airline's spectacular 'Ndizani' livery. Manufactured by Herpa Wings, this model features the colorful flag scheme that adorned the fuselage with representations of the colours of the new South African flag, celebrating unity and diversity across the continent. The model showcases excellent attention to detail with accurate markings, landing gear, and the distinctive nose profile of the 747-300 variant.
The Boeing 747-300 is an extended upper deck variant of the iconic jumbo jet, featuring a stretched upper deck that accommodates more passengers than the original 747-200. With a length of 70.66 m (231 ft 10 in), wingspan of 59.64 m (195 ft 8 in), and height of 19.33 m (63 ft 5 in), the 747-300 became a workhorse for long-haul international routes. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 14.1 cm in length with a wingspan of about 11.9 cm, making it a perfect display piece for aviation enthusiasts and collectors.
