The 1:144 scale model celebrates the legendary DC-7C, also known as the "Seven Seas." This aircraft, which first took to the skies in 1956, represented the peak of piston-engine airliner development and was a pivotal part of Pan American World Airways' fleet during the late 1950s. Features: 1. **Classic Pan Am Livery**: This model faithfully recreates the DC-7C in Pan American World Airways' iconic livery, a symbol of international prestige and luxury that carried passengers on some of the longest non-stop routes of its time. 2. **Detailed Craftsmanship**: Roden’s kit showcases the DC-7C’s powerful four-engine layout, extended wingspan, and advanced design, meticulously capturing the details that made this airliner the last of the great propeller-driven transoceanic aircraft. 3. **New in Sealed Box**: The model kit remains unopened in its original factory-sealed packaging, ideal for collectors and hobbyists alike. 4. **1:144 Scale**: This scale is perfect for display, offering a well-balanced representation that brings the majestic size of the DC-7C to life while allowing for intricate detailing. 5. **Ideal for Collectors**: Whether you're an enthusiast of Pan Am memorabilia, classic airliners, or aviation history, this model adds a nostalgic and historical touch to any collection. ### Historical Highlights: The DC-7C was developed as the final iteration of the DC-7 series and was designed to fly non-stop across the Atlantic, which was a major advancement at the time. Its longer fuselage and enhanced fuel capacity allowed Pan Am to offer transatlantic flights from New York to London without stopping for fuel, reducing travel time and solidifying the airline’s reputation as a leader in luxury air travel. Douglas designed the DC-7C to compete directly with the Lockheed Super Constellation, and it soon became the preferred aircraft for Pan Am’s premium international routes. The DC-7C, or "Seven Seas," could carry 105 passengers over distances up to 5,600 miles – truly exceptional for the era. In addition, the DC-7C boasted a more spacious cabin with improved pressurization, allowing passengers to fly in greater comfort at higher altitudes. ### Specifications: - **Brand**: Roden - **Model**: Pan Am Douglas DC-7C (#301) - **Scale**: 1:144 - **Condition**: New in Sealed Box (NISB) - **Material**: Plastic ### Shipping: We offer secure and reliable shipping to ensure your model arrives in pristine condition.
