Lufthansa Cargo as we know it today was formed in 1994 when Lufthansa absorbed the aircraft and operations of its German Cargo subsidiary. The queen of the fleet at that time was the Boeing 747-230. The 747 fleet was a mix of factory-built freighters and converted passenger -230Bs. All aircraft were powered by GE CF6 engines. Beginning in 1998, the 747 was phased out in favor of McDonnell-Douglas MD-11s, with the last Whale retired in 2005.
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, and joins our extensive line of other Lufthansa decals.
