Starting in the summer of 1954, Iberia added destinations to the United States to its route network. To operate on these new routes, the Spanish airlines introduced three Super Constellations which were named after the three ships with which Columbus set off to his first westward voyage – the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and last but not least the EC-AIO registered "Niña". The first flight Madrid – New York took place on August 3rd, the same day Columbus left the Spanish port at Palos de la Frontera for the New World.
Herpa of Germany started business as a model train manufacturer in 1949, followed by diecast automobiles in 1978, and ultimately 1:500 scale diecast aircraft 1987. Herpa's attention to detail and tampo printing systems led the industry in high quality diecast model aircraft markings, superceding other manufacturers that used decals.
Herpa began producing the highest quality airliner 1:200 scale models, exclusively for Lufthansa, the Lufthansa Model-Edition, moulded in plastic in 1988. Years later they expanded their 1:200 aircraft products to other airlines and new aircraft types, smaller types moulded in diecast metal, as well as an entire military aircraft line. Herpa's attention to detail and tampo printing systems lead the industry in high quality diecast plastic and metal models.
