NG Models LTU International Boeing 757-200 D-AMUV 1:400 Diecast Model

The German Charter Legend: LTU International Boeing 757-200 D-AMUV (MSN 28164)

D-AMUV (MSN 28164, Line 748) joined LTU (Lufttransport-Unternehmen) in April 1997, marking the peak of the German leisure aviation boom. Operating primarily out of Düsseldorf (DUS), this Boeing 757-200 was a workhorse for Mediterranean and Atlantic island routes. Following the 2007 acquisition of LTU by Air Berlin, D-AMUV transitioned into the Air Berlin fleet, carrying the legacy of the "Red Heart" livery until its eventual withdrawal from service. For collectors of European charter history, this airframe is a record of the era before the narrowbody market was dominated by the A321neo.

The NG Models 53118 release captures D-AMUV in its definitive red-and-white LTU livery. The model features accurately scaled Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines, known for their distinctive performance and sound profile on the 757. Technical details include the high-clearance main landing gear, accurately placed SATCOM antennas, and sharp printing of the German flag and registration titles. The diecast weight and rolling rubber tires provide the tactile precision expected from the industry-leading NG Models 757 mold.
