1:144 Boeing 747-100 Maiden Flight Carson 747012 500747012

As the first wide-bodied passenger aircraft, the ‘Jumbo Jet’ is among the world’s most recognizable planes. The Boeing 747’s maiden flight occurred on 9 February 1969, and more than 1,450 of the type have been produced to date. That milestone flight was performed by a Boeing 747-100 christened City of Everett. The flight took place at Paine Field in Everett. A total of 167 of these early Boeing 747s were produced at a purpose-built facility in Everett, then the world’s largest building. 

Dragon’s innovative Project Cutaway range features this particular Boeing 747-100 aircraft that performing the maiden flight. The Project Cutaway model is pre-painted and it arrives as a handful of separate parts that are easily assembled within seconds. The minimal number of cleverly engineered components results in a stunning cutaway model that exposes many internal details of the plane. The sectional nature of the model allows the seats to be seen inside the cabin, plus the cockpit, wings and engines have cutaway sections. This is an accurate 1/144 scale model, and it comes with a metal stand to turn it into a stunning desktop display piece.
