Features fine recessed panel lines, all main airframe parts, engines and wheels. Includes a clear canopy in mint condition and not yellowed. The VFW-Fokker 614 (also VFW 614) was a twin-engined jetliner designed and constructed by joint Dutch and West German aviation company VFW-Fokker. It is the first jet-powered passenger liner to be developed and produced in West Germany (the East German Baade 152 being the first German jet airliner), as well as the first German-built civil aircraft to have been manufactured in a decade. VDW-614s were operated by Cimber Air (Denmark), Touraine Air Transport and Air Alsace (the later two in France). The West German Air Force operated 3 aircraft. It proved to be a good aircraft, but there was a great deal of marketing confusion between the Dutch and German sides which greatly hurt the project. This major and other minor problem lead to poor sales and by 1977 the aircraft was discontinued. One still survives in a German Museum.
