UNITED 777-200 In 1980, United announced the purchase of 34 new jetliners to be known as the 777, now familiar as the 'Triple Seven'. It was designed largely to United's specifications and was to be powered by two 90,000 lb. Pratt & Whitney PW4084 turbofan engines. Imagine! That is four times the power produced by all eight Pratt & Whitney piston engines on the Hughes Flying boat! In April 1995, the first United 777 made a round-the-world demonstration flight and the markings for this plane are included on the enclosed decal sheet. #14483 -1/144 Scale $44.00

NORTHWEST ORIENT B-377 STRATOCRUISER The Stratocruiser wasn't built in great numbers, but it was certainly one of the most luxurious airliners to grace the clouds. Incased in the bulbous fuselage were two decks, connected by a spiral staircase. On the lower deck was a comfortable lounge. Its four 28-cylinder engines were the most powerful pistons engines ever produced. Its great range was quite suitable for Northwest's long overwater routes. #14471 - 1/144 Scale $19.00

Details include detailed landing gear, engine fans, and Minicraft’s wing alignment tabs. This model represents the Roll Royce powered variant. #14449 - 1/144 Scale $24.00
