The aircraft rolled out at Everett on 9 January 1981, flew for the first time on 30 January 1981, and was accepted by Korean Air Lines on 18 March 1981, fitted with Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney JT9D-7A engines. Korean Air Lines configured it for 12 First, 40 Business, and 200 Economy seats, deploying it primarily on the Seoul–New York route—a mission the SP's ultra-long-range capability made practical. The airline changed its name to Korean Air on 20 June 1984, and HL7457 received the updated corporate livery by 1991. Retired and sold to the Boeing Aircraft Holding Company on 1 October 1998, the frame later served Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney as a test platform registered C-GTFF. NG Models item NG07044 documents HL7457 in its Korean Air livery at 1:400 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model wears the classic Korean Air livery: white upper fuselage and vertical stabilizer, with a dark blue cheatline running below the cabin windows and a red stripe beneath it. \"KOREAN AIR LINES\" is printed in dark blue capital letters on the upper forward fuselage, accompanied by the text in Korean script (Hangul) and Chinese characters on the fuselage sides. The iconic Korean Air Taegeuk logo—a stylised red circular symbol—anchors the white vertical stabilizer. Registration HL7457 is printed in dark blue on the upper rear fuselage. The four JT9D nacelles are metallic silver-grey with white pylons. Wingtips are classic and straight, consistent with the 747SP original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craftsmanship \u0026amp; Collectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Boeing 747SP is among the most distinctive 747 variants—shorter fuselage, taller tail, and a unique aerodynamic profile developed for ultra-long-range routes. NG Models captures the SP silhouette in diecast metal at 1:400, including the characteristic shortened rear fuselage taper. The Korean Air classic livery on an SP variant represents an early-1980s chapter of Korean long-haul aviation before the carrier transitioned to wide-body twin-engine equipment on transpacific routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHL7457\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoeing 747SP-B5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22484\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 × Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney JT9D-7A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.08 cm \/ 5.54 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.91 cm \/ 5.87 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNG07044\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
