FULLWINGS B747-400 ANA JA8963 "Super Marine Jumbo" [Green Variant] 1:500**Collection sale

Late 1990's/early 2000's issue [?] using a Herpa mould. One of two versions- this one incorrectly painted green [should be blue]. Mint model from a collection in almost new box [handling wear & tear]. The plastic tail is turning yellow from age. 

Our first FULLWINGS model. These were made for the Chinese market only. Definitely using an early Herpa mould with the typical Herpa clunky wheels- was this a licensed model or was it made while Herpa was asleep ?? Who knows ??

Typical of early Herpa models- these were made with some plastic components which naturally turn yellow with age- our tail has toned. 

One of two variants- one was painted blue [which is correct], one was painted green [which is not correct].

Scarce model in these parts !! First copy that we have seen- from a collection built up in Hong Kong.
