BoeingModelle

BoeingModelle is a term used to describe scale models of Boeing aircraft. It encompasses a range of formats used by hobbyists, educators, and museums, including plastic model kits, die-cast models, and built display pieces. Common scales include 1:144, 1:200, and 1:72 for flight-line displays, with larger scales used for detailed dioramas.

Scale models of Boeing airliners gained popularity in the mid-20th century alongside the growth of air travel. Early model kits were produced by major toy and hobby firms such as Revell, Airfix, and Heller, with later expansions by specialized aircraft-model companies and die-cast brands like Corgi and Herpa. The availability of authentic liveries through decals and sometimes photo-etched parts increased accuracy and collectibility.

Modern BoeingModelle range from simple snap-tit kits to highly detailed resin or metal kits. They may include movable landing gear, detailed cockpits, and accurate decals representing specific airline liveries and time periods.

Collectors value condition, completeness of decals, and historical significance of the specific Boeing model. The community uses conventions, online marketplaces, and museums to share knowledge and trade pieces.
