AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Scale 1 : 100
Brand: Airplast - Milano - Made in Italy
approx W 49 cm X L 55 cm

This scale model of the Lufthansa DC-10-30 was produced by Airplast Milano and most likely dates from the 1970s

Production period: In the 1970s, Airplast from Milan was a leading manufacturer of large presentation models for airlines. These models were often used as promotional material in travel agencies or offices.
Historical context: The real DC-10-30 was put into service by Lufthansa in November 1973. Airplast models from this period are recognizable by their specific scale (often 1:100) and the plastic or resin composition that was modern at the time.
Features: Models from Airplast Milano from that period are known for their vintage look and are now considered rare collector's items.

The model in the photo shows the DC-10 in the original Lufthansa livery used between 1974 and the early 1990s, which perfectly matches the heyday of Airplast Milano.

This professional display model was produced by Air Plast – Milano, a respected Italian maker specializing in exhibition models for airlines. Known for accurate shapes, durable construction and clean finishes, Air Plast supplied airline offices, agencies and airport displays — offering a level of quality far above consumer-grade models.
