NG Model Eastern AirLines B757-225 1:400 Scale

This aircraft was delivered to Eastern Air Lines on June 28, 1983, and ended its service with the airline on January 18, 1991.

It subsequently operated for Spanair, Airtours International, and MyTravel Airways, before being finally retired on November 1, 2005, with a service life of 42.7 years.

In 1978, Eastern AirLines and British Airways jointly placed orders for the Boeing 757, becoming the launch customers of this aircraft type.
In 1982, Boeing delivered the first 757-200 to Eastern AirLines. On January 1, 1983, Eastern Air Lines operated the world’s first commercial flight of the Boeing 757.
At that time, Eastern AirLines urgently needed an aircraft that was more fuel-efficient and had a larger passenger capacity than the Boeing 727, while suitable for its short-haul, high-density routes.
With excellent takeoff and landing performance, the Boeing 757 perfectly met Eastern AirLines’ operational requirements at constrained airports such as New York LaGuardia.

When Eastern AirLines ceased operations in 1991, its large Boeing 757 fleet did not disappear. Instead, they became highly sought-after in the second-hand market, with most of them acquired by Delta AirLines and United Airlines.

NG Model’s Boeing 757 mold from several years ago is of outstanding quality, with accurate proportions and strong detail presentation.

Eastern AirLines’ classic "Steel Tube" livery and the iconic "hockey stick" cheatline fully demonstrate the excellence of this mold, complemented by precise and neat assembly.
