Vintage 1/100 PacMin Universal Airlines Boeing 747 - 100 Marketing Model Aircraft
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:541206 |
For sale is a vintage Pacific Miniatures (PacMin, Pac Min) Universal Airlines Boeing 747-100 airplane desktop display model. The model is in 1:100 scale and has a wingspan of 24 inches and is 28 inches long. No airplane registration is present.
This airline operated from 1966 to 1972, receiving DC-8s in 1969 to operate military charters. At its peak, also in 1969, the airline investigated acquiring the Lockheed L-500 (civilian C-5), and I am guessing this mod...el would have been produced as a marketing aid by Boeing for the airline at this time. This is the venerable vintage Pacific Miniatures early 747-100 mould that includes the second tiny hump behind the main hump where the SATCOM aerial was housed.
The number 3 and 4 engine struts have vintage repairs on them from old breaks. A minor scuff or paint chip here or there, but nothing major of note. Small chip to paint on leading edge of vertical stabilizer and underside of nose where some blue structural material can be seen. While the stand is an original Pacific Miniatures one, the screw and four rubber legs are modern replacements. Please see all photos for details of airplane model condition.
US buyers to pay $35 insured shipping and packing within the US. International bidders please wait for an invoice reflecting actual shipping costs. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good luck and happy bidding!
