McDonnell Douglas MD81 Continental Airlines / Frontier hybrid

Product description

High-quality metal model of the McDonnell Douglas MD81 Continental Airlines / Frontier hybrid aircraft. The model is packed in a paper box, the package includes a metal stand.

The aircraft was originally operated by Continental Airlines, which had its typical color scheme. Later, Frontier Airlines took over the aircraft, but kept parts of the original design (e.g. the fuselage with the Continental logo, while the tail may have been repainted in the Frontier style). Such hybrid aircraft are often of interest to aircraft enthusiasts ("avgeeks") and aerial photographers, because they are rare and visually unconventional.
