Product Overview
Produced to the highest standards, Herpa diecast metal models are developed in collaboration with aircraft manufacturers and the airlines and are recognized by discerning model airplane collectors worldwide for their unparalleled, accurate realism, attention to detail and exceptional quality. True-to-scale, this 1/500 scale Lufthansa Cargo Boeing 777F manufactured by Herpa, features special livery to showcase its continued backing for Cargo Human Care, which largely comprises Lufthansa Cargo employees who volunteer their time and effort to aid specific health and education projects in Africa. The model measures approximately 5-inches long with a 5-1/8-inch wingspan. A Display Stand is not included and is sold separately - Herpa HE521024. The Boeing 777 Freighter, designated the 777F, is the cargo variant of the 777, and is similar and shares common attributes with the Boeing 777-200LR, which is the Long-Range version of the aircraft, and has been furnished with additional auxiliary fuel tanks and other necessary upgrades to accomplish this task. Brought into service in 1994 by Boeing to replace earlier, aging DC-10 and L-1011 airliners, the twin engine, wide-body Boeing 777 fills the void in size between Boeing's 767 and 747 and is Boeing's first aircraft to be equipped with advanced fly-by-wire controls. Offered in many versions to meet airlines' different requirements, the Boeing 777, which initially competed against the now discontinued Airbus A340 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, has overtaken the Boeing 747 with the number of aircraft produced and currently goes up against Airbus' A350 and A330-900 aircraft.
