Trans World Airlines Boeing 727-200-N64339 in 1:400 scale
This is the Trans World Airlines Boeing 727-200-N64339 in 1:400 scale.
The Trans World Airlines (TWA) Boeing 727-200, registration N64339, was a prominent part of TWA’s fleet during the 1970s and 1980s, representing the airline’s expansion into higher-capacity, short- and medium-haul jet service. With its distinctive trijet configuration, the 727-200 was ideal for operations from airports with shorter runways while still carrying a significant number of passengers in comfort. N64339 flew TWA’s domestic and Caribbean routes, featuring the airline’s classic red-and-white livery with the iconic TWA logo on the tail, symbolizing the airline’s modern, stylish image during the golden age of commercial air travel. As part of the 727-200 fleet, it exemplified TWA’s reliability, versatility, and commitment to connecting cities efficiently during the height of the jet era.
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.
