Academy Boeing 737-8 Jin Air 1/144 Scale Model Kit
The Academy Boeing 737-8 Jin Air is a 1/144 scale plastic model kit of the modern twin-engined passenger aircraft operated by South Korean low-cost airline Jin Air. Based on the Zvezda tooling and released in Academy packaging, the kit contains five sprues and provides a choice of markings for two individual Jin Air aircraft.
Representing the Boeing 737 MAX 8 in Jin Air service, this kit offers civil aviation modellers the opportunity to recreate an aircraft used on domestic and regional international passenger routes across Asia. The two marking options represent aircraft delivered to the airline in 2022 and 2026.
About the Boeing 737-8
The Boeing 737-8, commercially known as the 737 MAX 8, is a development of the long-established Boeing 737 family. It incorporates CFM International LEAP-1B turbofan engines, revised aerodynamics and advanced winglets, designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce operating noise compared with earlier generations of the aircraft.
Jin Air operates the Boeing 737-8 in an all-economy configuration accommodating 189 passengers. The aircraft serves domestic routes within South Korea and regional international destinations, providing the airline with a modern, efficient narrow-body passenger aircraft.
