Aeroclassics, Servivensa 727-100: YV-765C

Aeroclassics continues to be the 'lone wolf' in 1/400 scale when it comes to producing consistent and interesting 727-100's. Minus a random odd-ball Gemini/JC release here or there, there hasn't been any other player for well over a decade. While there are certain short-comings of many Aeroclassics castings, it's nice to have choices. Of which, Aeroclassics provides plenty, and for the first time ever in 1/400 Servivensa gets representation, read on...

The 195th 727 was  apparently originally delivered to U.S. Air. It is hard to trace back the history of this aircraft however. There are very few photographs, or online records related to this airframe. Obviously, based on the date of known photographs, this airframe served with Servivensa in the 1990's. The featured model is one of two Servivensa models released in January of 2025, this on is the chrome or silver engine variant.

Notes:
While this isn't the most flashy, or exotic livery, airline combination, it is still quite notable at how well Aeroclassics was ale to replicate the the tricky series of white and blue stripes around the nose of the aircraft. The model looks really good, and thankfully, there aren't any glaring production issues.
