Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER "Desolation of Smaug" / ZK-OKO / JC Wings 1:400 / XX40621

Air New Zealand Limited, or Air New Zealand, is New Zealand's main airline. Its hub is Auckland International Airport. It operates around 50 flights to Asia, America, Oceania, and Europe, and has been a member of Star Alliance since 1999.

The Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER "Desolation of Smaug" (ZK-OKO) features one of the most spectacular special liveries ever applied to a commercial airliner. Unveiled in December 2013 to celebrate the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the aircraft carries a gigantic image of the dragon Smaug stretching across both sides of the fuselage. Measuring 54 metres (177 feet) in length, the artwork was created through a partnership between Air New Zealand, Warner Bros., and Tourism New Zealand, reinforcing the airline's reputation as the "Airline of Middle-earth."

Registered ZK-OKO, this Boeing 777-300ER operated Air New Zealand's long-haul international routes while becoming a global aviation icon. The imposing image of Smaug, combined with the airline's distinctive black livery, made the aircraft one of the most photographed airliners of its era and a favorite among both aviation enthusiasts and fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary fantasy world.

Expertly reproduced in 1:400 scale by JC Wings, this die-cast collector's model faithfully captures every detail of the legendary livery, from the vivid artwork of Smaug to the aircraft's precise markings, delivering outstanding craftsmanship and display quality.

Combining the magic of cinema with commercial aviation, the Boeing 777-300ER "Desolation of Smaug" is an essential collectible for Boeing enthusiasts, Air New Zealand fans, Tolkien collectors, and JC Wings enthusiasts alike.
