Discover this B-Models 1:200 die-cast replica of the legendary Alitalia Boeing 747-243BM I-DEMF, named “Portofino”, in the spectacular Baci Perugina promotional livery.

The unforgettable Baci Perugina livery

In 1997, Alitalia's Jumbo Jet received a memorable advertising scheme for the famous Italian chocolate brand Baci Perugina. Its midnight-blue fuselage was covered with silver stars and the “Baci dall'Italia. Baci da Alitalia” message, evoking the romantic notes traditionally associated with Baci chocolates. This extraordinary design became one of the most photographed and recognizable airline liveries of the 1990s.

Italian elegance around the world

Powered by four General Electric CF6 turbofan engines, the Boeing 747-243BM supported Alitalia's international long-haul network from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO). Destinations included major markets such as New York (JFK), Miami (MIA), Tokyo and South America. Actual assignments varied over the aircraft's career.

From 1980 to 2007

Originally delivered to Alitalia in 1980, aircraft I-DEMF wore the special Baci colours from 1997 into the early 2000s. It was ultimately withdrawn and dismantled in 2007, after more than 25 years of service. Its unique livery remains highly appealing to aviation model collectors.
