Herpa 573702 1/200 Lufthansa Boeing 707-400

With the delivery of the first of five 707-400s with Rolls-Royce Conway engines ordered from Boeing in March 1960, the jet age began at Lufthansa. The first flight of a 707 took place on March 17th from Frankfurt to New York. The fourth example, D-ABOF, was officially commissioned on October 1st, 1960, and named after the city of Munich. After being retired in 1977, it was converted to a freighter that same year and remained in service as such in Africa until 1983. Deprived of its wings, it then served as a mock-up for firefighting exercises before being scrapped entirely in 1990. This new aircraft, in a scale of 1:200, bears the livery introduced in 1967, with the crane in a yellow circle on the tail as its most striking element. It wasn't until 2018 – half a century later – that Lufthansa dared to modernize its distinctive tail design.
