VARIG — Viação Aérea Rio-Grandense — was Brazil's flag carrier from 1927 until its collapse in 2008, and the Boeing 727-100 was the backbone of the airline's domestic and regional network from 1970 onward. PP-VLW later transferred to Air Gemini (São Tomé and Príncipe) as S9-BAH, giving this single airframe service across two continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClassic VARIG 1970s scheme: white upper fuselage with a dark blue cheatline edged by a thin lighter-blue stripe along the lower hull. The nose cone is dark blue. \"VARIG\" appears in large dark blue capitals on the mid-fuselage, with the trademark circular logo — a light blue starburst on white, enclosed in a dark blue ring — incorporated into the lettering's \"V.\" \"BRASIL\" is printed on the forward fuselage. A small Brazilian flag decal sits just aft of the cockpit. The vertical stabiliser carries the VARIG circular logo centrally. Engine 1 and 3 (wing-mounted) nacelles are silver natural-metal finish; Engine 2 (tail S-duct) is white with \"727\" in small red text. Standard 727-100 swept wingtips, no winglets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Collectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAeroClassics AC411352 is now sold out and discontinued at most major retailers, making this a secondary-market piece.
