Model Description
Herpa 1/500th scale 539364 TWA – Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649A Jetstream – N8083H. Available to pre-order at Flying Tigers.
More than six decades after it entered service with TWA back in 1958, N8083H can once again be admired in its original color scheme. It was integrated as a cocktail lounge into the new TWA Hotel, which opened at New York’s JFK Airport in 2019. The central elements of the 512-room hotel are the TWA Flight Center, built in 1962 and used as a terminal until 2001, and the renovated “Jetstream”, as the L-1649 was called at TWA, with a redesigned interior and retro-style murals. Following two editions in the larger 1/200 scale, this absolute aviation classic is now also being released in 1/500.
