Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental "100 years" – D-ABYN "Niedersachsen"
Please note the opening/packaging instructions:
Before shipping the models, we recognized that, if shipped individually, the model might have a slight amount of moving space inside the blister and could perhaps be damaged if handled roughly. Therefore, we added two fasteners to this edition as a preventive safety measure to provide additional protection during shipping.
The blister has already been redesigned for future editions.
Following the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, the "Queen of the Skies" is now sporting Lufthansa’s anniversary livery featuring the iconic crane—this time in XXL format. This Boeing 747-8, christened "Niedersachsen", was painted in San Bernardino, California, and completed its first scheduled flight in its new livery on March 6, flying from Frankfurt back to the US west coast — this time to Los Angeles. Like all aircraft in the 100th-anniversary special series, the jumbo jet will also be released in a total of three versions: as a 1/500 scale metal model as announced here, and soon to follow also as a model in our SnapFit series (1/250 scale) as well as a highly detailed collector’s model in 1/200.
