Product Overview
Comprising superior quality, solid, substantial injection molded plastic components with a simple snap-fit design that allows for easy assembly without the need for glue, this SkyMarks 1/200 scale Delta Airlines Boeing 777-200, with Registration N709DN - which is painted in its 2007 "Onward and Upward Livery" (Delta subsequently added its name in white to the blue belly of its planes in 2015), measures approximately 12-3/8-inches long with a 12-inch wingspan and comes complete with a Display Stand. An accurate, true-to-scale reproduction of the actual aircraft, the model is great for collectors and features authentic, highly detailed graphics and markings. Currently the most "ordered and delivered" widebody airliner flying today, even having overtaken the Queen of the Skies, the iconic Boeing 747, the Boeing 777 is a twin-engine, long-range, wide-body airliner that was conceived by Boeing in 1990 not only to bridge the then existing gap between its 767 and 747, but also to replace the aging DC-10s and L-1011s that were nearing the end of their passenger jet service with the airlines. Able to accommodate from 317 up to 396 passengers with ten abreast seating in a conventional 3 class configuration, the Boeing 777 has a range of 8,555 nautical miles and is most readily recognized by its triple dual wheel landing gear, its very large diameter engine nacelles, which are rumored to be larger than the fuselages of some earlier Boeing jets, and its entirely symmetric spherical fuselage. The Boeing 777-200 was the first version of the 777, which entered service with launch customer United in June 1995. Although primarily intended for U.S. domestic carriers, several overseas airlines have relied upon the Boeing 777-200 as well.
