Herpa Wings 1:500 - Egypt Government Boeing 747-8 BBJ.
Aircraft registration: SU-EGY.
Originally produced in 2011 for Germany's Lufthansa, D-ABYE was never taken up by the airline, but instead flown to the Mojave Desert for long-time storage. Ten years later, the aircraft found a new owner in the form of the Egyptian Government which was looking for a replacement for its Airbus A340-200. The aircraft, now registered SU-EGY, was refitted in Hamburg by Lufthansa Technik with special amenities for governmental and presidential use. Egypt joins a number of countries that are using the "Queen of the Skies" for their heads of state, such as Turkey, South Korea, Morocco, Kuwait or Qatar - and also joins a series of aircraft models released by Herpa in the 1:500 scale.
La serie Wings riproduce i piu' importanti Aerei sportivi, commerciali e militari, nelle scale 1:72, 1:87, 1:160, 1:200, 1:400, 1:500 e 1:1000.
