Detailed Description

This Herpa Wings 511575 model represents the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Boeing 747-400, used as Japan’s official state transport aircraft. Operated in pairs, these 747-400s were responsible for carrying the Japanese Prime Minister, members of the Imperial Household, and senior government officials.
