Dragon Wings Aerolíneas Argentinas Boeing 747-212B "Mundial '98" 1/400 Diecast
A 1/400 scale diecast model of a Boeing 747-212B in Aerolíneas Argentinas livery, registration LV-YPC, produced under the Dragon Wings Hi-Image Première Collection line. The livery is the carrier's distinctive blue-and-white scheme with "Aerolíneas, Mas Argentina Que Nunca" fuselage titling and the special 1998 FIFA World Cup ("Mundial '98") commemorative tie-in — a scheme applied to select Aerolíneas aircraft ahead of France '98, when Argentina advanced to the quarterfinals. Box cover photo credit: Robbie Shaw.
The Boeing 747-212B variant was a long-range passenger configuration of the 747-200 series, optimized for extended international routes. Aerolíneas Argentinas operated several examples on transatlantic and transpacific services throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with LV-YPC among the last of the type in the fleet before retirement. Dragon Wings' Hi-Image Première Collection was produced under license with the major carriers and is noted among 1/400 collectors for accurate livery printing and die-cast metal construction.
