Description
This exquisite 1:500 scale die-cast model by Herpa captures the distinctive livery of Southwest Airlines' Boeing 737-300. The model features the airline's iconic canyon blue fuselage wrap with red and orange accent stripes, along with the classic Southwest heart logo on the white tail. Herpa's attention to detail is evident in the precise panel lines, accurate engine nacelles, and authentic landing gear configuration. This collectible represents Southwest's California One special livery scheme that celebrated the airline's strong presence in the Golden State.
The Boeing 737-300 was the first of the second-generation 737 Classic series, entering service in 1984. As a stretched version of the original 737-200, it featured improved CFM56 turbofan engines, extended fuselage capacity for up to 149 passengers, and enhanced fuel efficiency. The 737-300 became Southwest Airlines' workhorse throughout the 1990s and 2000s, perfectly suited to the carrier's point-to-point route strategy. The aircraft measures 33.40 meters in length with a wingspan of 28.88 meters and a height of 11.13 meters, making it an ideal short to medium-haul aircraft that helped revolutionize low-cost air travel in America.
