This particular model depicts a Boeing 747-131, which was the first version of the Boeing 747 to be built. The 747-131 was a long-range, wide-body jetliner that was introduced in 1968. TWA was one of the launch customers for the 747, and the airline operated a large fleet of these aircraft throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
The "polished" livery refers to the fact that the TWA 747-131s had a bare metal finish, rather than being painted in a traditional airline livery. This was because TWA believed that a bare metal finish would be more aerodynamic and would help to reduce fuel consumption. However, the bare metal finish was also susceptible to corrosion, and TWA eventually began to paint its 747s in a more traditional livery in the 1980s.
The Inflight 200 Trans World Airlines - TWA Polished Boeing 747-131 N93117 Scale 1/200 IF731TW1222P is a detailed and accurate model of a classic airliner. It is a great collector's item for aviation enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates TWA's history.
