Lufthansa Boeing 727-200

What Herpa Says...

The engines carry the "Boeing 727" Logo on the side...

  Up into the eighties the Boeing 727-200 was one of the "high performance" aircrafts serving the European destinations. More quiet, efficient and more comfortable Jets have now taken over its place in the Lufthansa - Fleet.

A new highlight in "aircraft-construction" is the Boeing 727-200, which is now part of the Lufthansa Modell Edition - Fleet. The detailed paintings for construction of the mould were transfered with modern CAD/CAM equipment. The computer-supported construction and production allows higher precision in looks and size.

 
 
What We Say...


Go ahead, knock on the door and pretend your the catering truck!

Compared to the Premium Series Delta 727, this model has more details making extremely realistic. The engines are extremely realistic, as are the printed details on the wings. The tail has the antenna coming off the back, and the back of the fuselage even has a tail skid in the deployed position.

   The Boeing 727 has a special place in airliner history, and while its usage is becoming limited as new and more efficient jet liners become available, it is with out a doubt that this model will be talked about in years to come. If one is torn between the DL 727 and LH 727, we give the nod to the LH.

 
Pros

   Abundant amount of details; beacon lights are colored plastic; front landing gear doors are printed; engines are extremely realistic.

Cons

   Hard to find any, but if we had to say anything it would be the lack of a hanger!
