Braniff International Airways Boeing 727-227 Display Model, Braniff II Livery. A handsome large-scale executive display model of a Boeing 727-200 in Braniff International Airways livery, finished in the airline's classic cream fuselage with bold red "BRANIFF" script and deep blue lower accent. Measuring 31" x 22" x 13" the model accurately captures the sleek tri-jet configuration that made the 727 one of the most recognizable short-to-medium haul jetliners of the Jet Age. Notable details include the T-tail assembly, three rear-mounted engines, correctly proportioned swept wings, cockpit glazing, and applied window striping. Introduced in the late 1960s, the stretched -200 series allowed Braniff to expand capacity on high-traffic routes while maintaining the aircraft's exceptional short-field performance. Large-scale Braniff executive models remain highly desirable due to the airline's cult design following and the relative scarcity of surviving corporate display pieces. Age and handling related wear, overall fine. Braniff International: The Models and Memorabilia of Braniff Airways “Where Travel Became Art"
