The quality of our model displays is the best among others. Just like this B747 Northwest Airlines Model Airplane . This B747 Northwest Model Plane is made of the finest grade materials which underwent stages of meticulous and careful sanding, carving and polishing to replicate the original vessel.

Our artist then intricately hand paints each B747 Northwest Model Plane with scheme markings and parts to obtain the exact look of the actual Northwest B747. Carved and molded from solid mahogany, the model display undergoes various stages of quality control before being put in its box.
Multiple coats of clear lacquer is applied to B747 Northwest Airlines Model Airplane to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. Our B747 Northwest Model Plane comes on a sturdy, durable wood stand and a polished chrome steel support mounting rod for display.
The B747 History
Manufactured by Boeing's Commercial Airplane unit in the United States, the original version of the 747 was two and a half times the size of the Boeing 707, one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.
The Boeing 747 is a large, wide-body (two-aisle) airliner with four wing-mounted engines. The wings have a high sweep angle of 37.5 degrees for a fast, efficient cruise of Mach 0.84 to 0.88, depending on the variant. The sweep also allows the 747 to use existing hangars. Seating capacity is more than 366 with a 3-4-3 seat arrangement (a cross section of 3 seats, an aisle, 4 seats, another aisle, and 3 seats) in economy class and a 2-3-2 arrangement in first class on the main deck. The upper deck has a 3-3 seat arrangement in economy class and a 2-2 arrangement in first class.
The 747 enjoyed a fairly smooth introduction into service, overcoming concerns that some airports would not be able to accommodate an aircraft that large.Although technical problems occurred, they were relatively minor and quickly solved.
