Another classic American airliner was replicated by the artists of Gemini Jets about a year back. he mould as well as the diecasted livery and details truly bring out the best of this historic bird. Being one of the most loved trijet  aircraft, the B727 carries memories of most of us. In this 1970's color scheme, N4734 "Elaine" has many nice details including the antennas and cargo bay doors. There was what felt like rubber cement on the wings on both sides and one on one if the engines.For these old eyes it looks like GJ captured the colors properly and the Sun King is correct

On September 1;st 1968, Boeing registered its msn 19454 B727-200 as N4734, handing it over to National Airlines. As it seems, "Elaine" had captured the hearts of many as we see nostalgic comments next to images taken by spotters at the time. National had an incident with this aircraft when on August of 1979 it taxied off the apron and into the grass, however no further details have been recorded. In 1980 the aircraft was handed over to pan am when it was painted into the 1970's paint scheme later on to PanAm's final colors.  On Wednesday January 26th 1994, the aircraft was scrapped by General Electric Capital Corp. and deregistrated at Miami.
