Die-Cast Collector

Here's the side by side pictures of the two cargo aircraft that I have in my growing collection, the Boeing  747 Dreamlifter and the Airbus A300-600ST Beluga. How they compare in real life: Boeing Dreamlifter Length: 235 ft Wingspan: 211 ft Fuselage Width 27ft  Height: 70 ft Maximum Take-Off Weight: 364 tons Range: 4,200 miles Airbus Beluga Length: 184 ft Wingspan: 147 ft Fuselage Width: 23ft  Height: 56 ft Maximum Take-Off Weight:  155 tons Range: 2778 miles (40-ton cargo)

This aircraft's ungainly ugliness makes it more interesting the more you look at it. The  A300-600ST (ST for Super Transport) was nicknamed Beluga for its resemblance to the whale, and the name stuck until it became its official designation.  Derived from the Airbus A300 wide-body aircraft, the Beluga is designed to transport oversized cargo and parts for the A380 aircraft. It can carry up to 47 tons of cargo. Only five were manufactured, and this die-cast model is aircraft number 5.  Model: Airbus A300-600ST Beluga Livery: Toulouse 2013 livery Manufacturer: Dragon Wings Scale: 1:400 Length: 5.48" Wingspan: 4.37"  Provenance: Lil's Hobby Shop Megamall Price: PhP 895
