Description
1/400 Scale. This kit comes molded in white with decals for Boeing 2707-200 and Pan American. Measures 9.50 inches long with display stand. Officially Licensed with Boeing.
The Boeing 2707 was an American supersonic passenger airliner project during the 1960s. Boeing won a competition for a government-funded contract to build an American supersonic airliner. The design emerged as a large aircraft with seating for 250 to 300 passengers and cruise speeds of approximately Mach 3. It was intended to be much larger and faster than competing supersonic transport (SST) designs such as the Concorde.
The entire SST concept was the subject of considerable negative press, centered on the issue of sonic booms and effects on the ozone layer. A key design feature of the 2707 was its use of a swing wing configuration. Rising costs and the lack of a clear market led to its cancellation in 1971 before the prototypes had been completed.

What a wonderful kit The parts fit is excellent, I only used a whisper of filler in one tiny spot. I loved the decal choices. I had to get a second one to be able to do more paint schemes. ( Draw decals has a whole stage of liveries for the kit) A little kid can build this in an hour or so, I did with the original..lol. It makes into a great display model . I highly recommend. Thank you Atlantis for bringing this one back.

What a wonderful little kit. I built this as a child, now it's just a joy to build. With careful assembly, no filler was needed. And the decals are lovely fit perfectly.

Very nice small model. Almost no flash, and the parts fit perfectly. Not a difficult build, but when painted with decals applied it looks really nice. I am sure this is appropriate for all ages. And for those of us who remember when they were planning to build the 2707 for real, well, it is like a little time machine.

BOEING SST SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT 1/400 ATLANTIS
A simple, easy-to-assemble kit with minimal flash, excellent decals, and concise instructions with painting guide. This kit brought back a lot of nostalgia from when my father worked on the project. Thank you, Atlantis, for bringing back this vintage Monogram kit!
