EL AL Israel Airlines introduced the Boeing 747-400 into its fleet in the mid-1990s, representing a major leap forward in the airline’s long-haul operations. This iconic aircraft, known for its distinctive hump and four-engine configuration, was a stretched and technologically advanced version of the earlier 747 models. The 747-400 brought significant improvements in range, fuel efficiency, and passenger capacity, allowing EL AL to operate longer, non-stop flights with greater reliability and reduced operational costs. This made it particularly well-suited for EL AL’s transatlantic routes, including its flagship services between Tel Aviv and major cities in North America such as New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto, as well as key destinations in Asia. The 747-400’s introduction allowed EL AL to offer enhanced comfort, including upgraded seating configurations and in-flight amenities, solidifying its reputation as a premier international carrier. With its extended range and increased payload, the aircraft became a cornerstone of the airline’s strategy to expand its global reach while maintaining high standards of service and safety

I got my model about a week ago and it is exactly as described on the site. it is somewhat heavy as you would expect but the strength of the model goes into all parts including the small antennas and what have you. Was surprised to find that the model comes with landing gear covers so you can either assemble the gear and display with the gear or remove the gear, pop the cover for the gear, and display it as if its in flight. Overall amazing quality and very happy with the product
