Description
This Herpa Wings 1:500 scale diecast model faithfully recreates a Trans World Airlines Boeing MD-83 in the airline's classic livery featuring the iconic red TWA logo with gold globe design and the slogan 'We're Up To Something Good.' The model showcases excellent attention to detail with accurate paint application, printed window details, and rolling landing gear. Article number 507646, this collectible represents TWA during its final era of operations in the 1990s-2000s.
The Boeing MD-83 is a twin-engine, single-aisle airliner developed by McDonnell Douglas as part of the MD-80 series, itself a stretched derivative of the DC-9. With a length of 45.08 meters, wingspan of 32.86 meters, and height of 9.02 meters, the MD-83 featured improved fuel efficiency and extended range compared to earlier variants. TWA operated the MD-83 extensively on domestic routes throughout the United States until the airline's merger with American Airlines in 2001.
