This model has been meticulously crafted to scale and features intricate exterior details that give it a stunningly realistic appearance during animated flight sequences. Control surfaces are expertly animatable, encompassing both the inner and outer flaps, as well as the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. The retractable landing gear can be adjusted or removed entirely, while landing gear doors come equipped with customizable options for closure or removal. Texture and material specifications are precisely rendered to exact replica standards. The Boeing 737 is an iconic short- to medium-haul twinjet aircraft designed specifically as a narrow-body airliner. Initial production of the first model variant, 737-100, commenced in 1965, ultimately leading to its launch into commercial service with Lufthansa in February 1968. Serving as the smallest incarnation within the 737 family, thirty units were initially ordered and delivered before the last scheduled delivery took place on October 31, 1969 for Malaysia–Singapore Airlines. Unfortunately, none of these original 737-100 variants remain in operational service. Interestingly, an example of the aircraft's first Boeing prototype now finds its home within Seattle’s Museum of Flight, more than thirty years after making its inaugural flight – thanks to a later career stint at NASA that ultimately spanned many years.
