High-quality metal model of the civil aircraft Boeing 737-800 Alaska Airlines in "Xáat Kwáani (Lachsmenschen)" version. It is a detailed and precisely processed model based on a real aircraft. The model is available for pre-order, planned stocking is May/June 2024.
Xáat Kwáani means "salmon people" in the Tlingit language of Alaska. Alaskan artist Crystal Kaakeeyáa Rose Demientieff Worl's unique work honors salmon in particular and the need to protect their environment, as well as indigenous culture and language in general. The traditional art style is thousands of years old and widespread on the northwest coast of the North American continent. It took over 440 liters of paint to create the artwork on this Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-800. Correspondingly, it is time-consuming to transfer a complex design to a 1:500 scale model. The unusual original design will undoubtedly attract attention in any model collection.
