Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant Pan American 377 Stratocruiser model plane made from mahogany wood. Every Boeing 377 wooden display is a work of art. From raw kiln-dried mahogany wood, it undergoes processes to accomplish a precise stratocruiser B377 desktop model airplane; from carving, sanding, coating, painting and detailing to a creatively done wooden replica of the Pan American 377 aircraft. Every part and detail is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the aircraft.
Pan American was very interested in the plane, but thought that it would be even better equipped with the new Wasp Major engine, then in development for the B-29's successor, the B-50. With the promise of an order from Pan Am, Boeing had refined the Model 377 with the new engines by 1946, with all the latest refinements, including full anti-icing, light alloy structure, and foldable tail. The interior would feature a two-deck arrangement, with luxurious furnishings and a spiral staircase to a downstairs bar/lounge.
