Herpa Christmas 2024 Boeing 747LCF Dreamlifter 1/500 537971

 This year's Wings Christmas model combines two anniversaries in a retro look: On the one hand, the design is reminiscent of the "Raisin Bombers" of the Berlin Airlift, which was completed 75 years ago. After the USSR had closed the land and water routes on the territory of the later GDR to the western sectors of Berlin from 26 June 1948 to 30 September 1949, these were supplied with the most necessary goods by air by aircraft of the Western Allies. To reflect the design of the Douglas C-54 Skymaster, which is primarily used, the model does not appear in the black base color otherwise used for the Christmas models, but in silver. On the other hand, Herpa is also celebrating its 75th anniversary. For example, we integrated the Herpa logos used in the past into the design and finally gave the model a Christmas touch.
