Trans World Airlines DC-9-15-N1070T in 1:400 scale
This is the Trans World Airlines DC-9-15-N1070T in 1:400 scale.
The Trans World Airlines (TWA) DC-9-15, registration N1070T, was a short-to-medium range jet that played a vital role in the airline’s domestic network during the 1960s and 1970s. Part of the early DC-9 series, this aircraft was valued for its efficiency, reliability, and ability to operate from shorter runways, making it ideal for connecting smaller cities to TWA’s major hubs. N1070T carried passengers in TWA’s iconic red-and-white livery, reflecting the airline’s commitment to modern, comfortable air travel. With its straightforward design and proven performance, the DC-9-15 became a workhorse of TWA’s fleet, helping the airline maintain a strong domestic presence during the jet age’s expansion.
The V1:400 range is a relatively new die‑cast brand that specializes in highly detailed, ready-to-display civilian airliners in 1:400 scale. These models are crafted with die-cast metal (combined with some plastic parts), and they feature realistic surface detailing — such as panel lines, antennas, and access panels — as well as pad-printed markings that resist fading or peeling. They also come with permanently extended metal landing gear with rotating wheels, giving them both stability and display fidelity.
