Established in 1977 as a non-IATA subsidiary of Lufthansa German Airlines, German Cargo operated cargo flights on behalf of Lufthansa. Initially, Boeing 707s were used, followed by Douglas DC-8s, and then Boeing 747-230s. The Jumbo Jet fleet consisted of three aircraft: D-ABYT, D-ABYW and D-ABYY.
This set is available in both 1:144 and 1:200 scales, and works nicely with the recently re-released 747-200 kits from both Revell and Hasegawa.
Yes, 1:72 scale is correct, as this is the Aircraft in Miniature 747-300 built using our KLM decal set number 72-747-3. Tommy, if you can give us your full name we would be very happy to update this post so everyone can know who did such a fine job building this LARGE beauty!
In addition to this KLM 747 decal, we offer many other 1:72 decals for the Aircraft in Miniature and the Anigrand kits. If you see an existing set in our line that is not listed in 1:72 (or any other scale), just ask as so we can add it to the line.
The US Postal Service just implemented a major price increase on many of their postal rates, and this means we need to increase the fees for some of the shipping options we offer. Our Flat-Fee shipping rate of $5 remains the same for the USA and Canada, but has increased to $6 for all other countries EXCEPT Mexico, Belgium, Indonesia and Pakistan where we only ship by Express Mail due to theft issues in those postal systems. The Express Mail fee has increased from $30 to $38, ouch! Just a reminder, as we do NOT ship any orders to Iran or Venezuela, sorry!
We regret having to raise these fees, but since we have set our postage fees as close to the actual postage costs as possible, we have to pass this increase along.
A member of the Star Alliance since 1999, ANA – All Nippon Airways has operated aircraft in the special Star Alliance color scheme for some time. This decal provides the markings for ANA’s first 777-381ER, which was delivered new from Boeing in 2004 wearing these colors. This set joins our growing line of Star Alliance liveries.
Marco Coldewey strikes again with another nice build, this time using the 1:144 Revell 737-800 with the Contrails P-8 conversion and our Poseidon decal set number 737-124. Click on the photo to be linked to other photos on Marco’s site.
