The aircraft was built by Boeing in 1965, carrying construction number 18923 and line number 435, and was delivered to Lufthansa on 4 August 1965.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a member of the Boeing 707 family, the 707-330B represented a significant step forward in commercial aviation. Powered by four Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney JT3D turbofan engines, the aircraft offered improved efficiency and performance over earlier jetliners, enabling reliable long-haul services across Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.\u003cbr\u003eLike many aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet of the period, D-ABUB carried the name of a German city, with this aircraft honouring Stuttgart. It wore the airline's classic 1960s livery, featuring a polished-metal fuselage, blue cheatline and the iconic crane logo on the tail, a scheme that became synonymous with the golden age of jet travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD-ABUB served Lufthansa for more than fifteen years before leaving the airline in 1981. It was subsequently transferred to Air Zimbabwe, where it continued operations under the registrations VP-WKS and later Z-WKS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, D-ABUB remains a notable example of the Boeing 707's role in transforming international air travel. Aircraft such as the \"Stuttgart\" connected continents at unprecedented speed and comfort, helping to define the early jet age and cementing the Boeing 707's place as one of the most influential airliners in aviation history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarter Set to include paints, glue \u0026amp; brush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Scale: 1:72\u003cbr\u003e- Pieces: 104\u003cbr\u003e- Decal Scheme: Lufthansa, D-ABUB, Stuttgart, 1968","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55672446517585,"sku":"HEL56463","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/hel56463_1.jpg?v=1793917318","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/heller-80463-boeing-707-330b-lufthansa-starter-set-1-72-model-kit","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
