1/144 B747-400 Lufthansa

Description

This is an injection-plastic airliner model kit.

When Boeing introduced the 747 series, they set new standards in aircraft construction and revolutionized modern air transport. The 747, which was the first of the wide-bodied or “jumbo” jets as they were commonly called, is still the heaviest, most powerful civil airliner ever built. Innovations such as the doubling of the passenger or freight carrying capacity and quadrupling of the useful load, were made possible with the new generation of jet engines with their much reduced fuel consumption. Following development work since 1960, the maiden flight took place in February 1969. The latest and most economical version is the 747-400 which carries 400 passengers and features an extended upper deck and longer wings.

This kit features:

• Structurally detailed surfaces
• Four CF-6 engines
• Detailed undercarriage
• Landing gear option (retracted or down)
• Structurally detailed wings
• Superb transfers with service markings
