Manufactured by Herpa as part of their Wings Club series (limited edition 1\/500), this model captures the iconic employee-sponsored paint scheme with remarkable detail. The vibrant red fuselage features 'TRANS WORLD' titling along the side with 'Sponsored by the Employee-Owners of TWA' text, making it a standout piece in any aviation collection. This is a faithful reproduction of registration N948TW, complete with accurate airline markings and the distinctive T-tail configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe McDonnell Douglas MD-83 is a twin-engine, single-aisle airliner that was part of the MD-80 series, itself an evolution of the DC-9. With a length of approximately 45.1 meters (147 ft 10 in), wingspan of 32.9 meters (107 ft 10 in), and height of 9.0 meters (29 ft 6 in), the MD-83 was known for its distinctive rear-mounted engines and excellent performance characteristics. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 9.0 cm in length with a wingspan of about 6.6 cm. The MD-83 was widely used by TWA during the 1980s and 1990s for domestic routes across the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eTrans World Airlines (TWA) was one of America's most iconic carriers, operating from 1930 until its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. Known for its innovative spirit and glamorous image during aviation's golden age, TWA played a crucial role in developing transcontinental and transatlantic air travel. The airline's distinctive red livery and employee ownership period in the 1990s represent a unique chapter in its storied history, making models like this particularly collectible.\n ","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54610909593946,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/P9296995.JPG?v=1787221027","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/die-cast-model-twa-trans-world-airlines-mcdonnell-douglas-md-83-herpa-1-500-with-original-box","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
