The Boeing 757-200 is a medium-range, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner that became one of Boeing's most successful designs. First introduced in 1983, the 757-200 typically seats between 186 and 239 passengers and can fly routes up to 3,915 nautical miles. The real aircraft measures 47.32 m (155 ft 3 in) in length with a wingspan of 38.05 m (124 ft 10 in) and a height of 13.56 m (44 ft 6 in). At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 9.5 cm in length with a wingspan of about 7.6 cm. Thomas Cook Airlines operated several 757-200s as part of their fleet serving leisure destinations across Europe and beyond.

🇬🇧 About the Airline
Thomas Cook Airlines was a British charter airline and a subsidiary of the Thomas Cook Group, one of the world's oldest and most recognized travel brands. Operating leisure flights to holiday destinations worldwide, the airline was known for its blue and yellow livery featuring the distinctive sun logo. The airline ceased operations in September 2019 following the collapse of the Thomas Cook Group, making models like this particularly significant as historical representations of this once-prominent carrier.
