Gemini Jets UPS New Livery Boeing 747-400 N572UP 1:400 Diecast Model GJUPS1571

GeminiJets® has been producing models since the late '90s with the best 1:400 scale airliners anyone had seen. Today the older Gemini Jet models are highly collectible and the new designs often sell out quickly as well. All of the diecast airplanes they release are limited edition, single release. All of their diecast airline molds are made from aircraft manufacturers' blueprints and the airline livery designs match the Pantone® color charts of their full-size airliner counterparts. Features of GeminiJets models include: diecast metal construction, realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface details and Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals. They go to great lengths to provide you with a diecast metal airliner that replicates your favorite aircraft, without sacrificing accuracy.

The Boeing 747 is an American wide-body commercial jet airliner and cargo aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies. Its distinctive “hump” upper deck along the forward part of the aircraft makes it among the world’s most recognizable aircraft, and it was the first wide-body produced. Manufactured by Boeing’s Commercial Airplane unit in the United States, the original version of the 747 was envisioned to have 150 percent greater capacity than the Boeing 707, one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years. 

The four-engine 747 uses a double-deck configuration for part of its length. It is available in passenger, freighter, and other versions. Boeing designed the 747’s hump-like upper deck to serve as a first-class lounge or extra seating and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing did so because the company expected supersonic airliners (development of which was announced in the early 1960s) to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete, while the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would be robust well into the future. The 747 was expected to become obsolete after 400 were sold, but it exceeded critics’ expectations with production passing the 1,000 marks in 1993. By October 2016, 1,527 aircraft had been built, with 29 of the 747-8 variants remaining on order.

This GeminiJets 1:400 scale model of the Boeing 747-400 Freighter is made from diecast metal and carries the new UPS livery with the reg number N572UP. This UPS Boeing 747-400 N572UP was custom-built and delivered in November 2007 for UPS. This is the third release of this livery by GeminiJets. The first one in 2008, GJUPS861 was N570UP and came complete with a chrome stand.  GJUPS861A was produced in 2009 without the stand and as N470UP. The third came about in 2014 as GJUPS861B, registered as N572UP.
