Latest addition to my collection: National B727-100 by Gemini Jets

Introducing my latest addition to my collection, although this model was released in 2010.

The aircraft, B727-35,began its first flight on August 18 1965 and delivered brand-new to National Airlines on September 3rd,1965, and christened as 'Gail'. She remains in National service until  January 7th 1980,where National Airlines was acquired by Pan Am. Retaining her registration (N4617), she was repainted in Pan Am colors,and re-christened 'Clipper Young Brander'.

After 4 years in service, in 1984, she was acquired by other operator, and she served twice in South America, with:

* Avianca Colombia (as HK-3203 and HK-3203X)
* Faucett Peru (as OB-1465).

The aircraft was later withdrawn from use and kept in storage ever since.

Here are the photos of the model:
