Model Facts and Aircraft History: Northwest B727-200 N203US

Northwest B727-200  N203US
Made by: Gemini Jets 200
Product #: G2NWA113
Scale      : 1:200
Released : 2011
Purchase : HERE (preorder)

Since I got plenty of enthusiastic mails about the previous B727 of PanAm, I figured I should keep you all satisfied with another north American carrier. This is still in the works of Gemini and available for preorder only, since the market will be expecting them soon. As we all know, Geminis' 200 series is a very exceptional line of models listed in the tops of  "value for money". If you're a Northwest fan , then this "bowling shoe" livery of this classic airliner should already be programed for deduction from your future cash!

This 1980 built B727-251/WL with c/n 22543 was registered for Northwest ( back then carried the Northwest Orient Airlines color scheme) on July 1st 1981 as N203US and was in service until 2003. Then further sold to Antonov Dealer Corp. registered as N727AN, painted as white as milk. Further on to 2005 sold on Turan Air under registration 4K-AZ9 but remained blank and white. Two years later re registered as 4K-8888 and still in service under ESW (ESW Business Aviation) in Azerbaijan painted with a golden belly and a detailed texture on half of the tail wing as seen on photo. Somewhere along the way, that bird got an upgrade with winglets!
