Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:200 scale AIRBUS INDUSTRIES AERO SPACELINES B-377-SGT SUPER GUPPY F-BTGV (LH2298) by JC Wings

In the early 1970s, two Super Guppy Turbines were used by Airbus to transport airplane parts from decentralized production facilities to the final assembly plant in Toulouse. In 1982 and 1983, two additional Super Guppy Turbines were built by Union de Transports Aériens Industries in France after Airbus bought the right to produce the aircraft. The four Super Guppies have since been replaced in this role by the Airbus Beluga, capable of carrying twice as much cargo by weight. This Super Guppy Turbine F-BTGV (formerly N211AS), serial number 0001, was on static display at the former British Aviation Heritage Centre, Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome, United Kingdom. Sadly the aircraft was broken up in December 2020, with the cockpit saved by the South Wales Aviation Museum.

This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Aeroclassics, Phoenix Models, NG Models, Geminijets, Inflight200 and Aviation200.

Includes display stand.
