Eastern Air Lines DC-9-14-N8910E in 1:400 scale
This is the Eastern Air Lines DC-9-14-N8910E in 1:400 scale.
The Eastern Air Lines DC-9-14, registration N8910E, was part of the airline’s early fleet of short- to medium-range jets in the 1960s, helping to modernize domestic air travel across the United States. Known for its ability to operate from shorter runways, the DC-9-14 allowed Eastern to expand service to smaller cities while maintaining frequent, reliable schedules between major hubs. N8910E featured Eastern’s iconic blue-and-white livery with the distinctive “hockey stick” tail design, symbolizing the airline’s commitment to innovation and passenger comfort. As a workhorse of Eastern’s jet fleet, this aircraft played a crucial role in connecting communities and establishing the airline’s reputation for dependable, modern service during the early jet age.
The V1:400 range is a relatively new die‑cast brand that specializes in highly detailed, ready-to-display civilian airliners in 1:400 scale. These models are crafted with die-cast metal (combined with some plastic parts), and they feature realistic surface detailing — such as panel lines, antennas, and access panels — as well as pad-printed markings that resist fading or peeling. They also come with permanently extended metal landing gear with rotating wheels, giving them both stability and display fidelity.
