Part of Herpa's prestigious 'Yesterday' series, this model captures a significant moment in aviation history when United operated this special variant. The model features the distinctive orange and blue cheatline that characterized United's livery during this era, with 'FRIENDSHIP ONE' titles prominently displayed on the fuselage. The craftsmanship includes detailed engine nacelles, accurate landing gear, and precise window markings. This collectible comes in its original packaging and represents a piece of both United Airlines and aviation heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Boeing 747SP (Special Performance) was a shortened variant of the iconic 747, designed for ultra-long-range routes with smaller passenger loads. With a length of 56.30 meters, wingspan of 59.60 meters, and height of 20.00 meters, the 747SP was notably shorter than the standard 747 but maintained similar wing dimensions. This variant could fly further than any other 747 model at the time, making it ideal for routes like New York to Tokyo non-stop. The 'Friendship One' designation honored special diplomatic or goodwill missions. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 11.3 cm in length with a wingspan of about 11.9 cm, perfectly capturing the distinctive proportions of this rare Boeing variant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇺🇸 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eUnited Airlines is one of the world's largest and most historic carriers, tracing its roots back to 1926. As a founding member of the Star Alliance, United has played a pivotal role in shaping commercial aviation in the United States and globally. The 'Friendship One' special livery represented United's commitment to international cooperation and cultural exchange during an era of expanding global routes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55034272842074,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/image6_19e1289b-ad7f-4b1c-a201-f5a3d74f525b.jpg?v=1792491176","url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/products\/die-cast-model-united-airlines-boeing-747sp-friendship-one-herpa-1-500-with-original-box","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
