1/200 Gemini200 (G2BOE1003F) Boeing B747-400LCF Dreamlifter (N718BA) "Flaps Down" The Boeing Company (Limited Edition) 2021 Release

The Boeing 747 Dreamlifter, also known as the Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF), is a wide-body cargo aircraft. At 65,000 cubic feet the cargo hold was the largest in the world for an aircraft, until the Airbus Beluga XL was released. It can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter. Cargo is placed in the aircraft by the world's longest cargo loader. It is an extensively modified Boeing 747-400 that is used exclusively for transporting Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft components to Boeing's assembly plants from suppliers around the world.

• The Boeing 747-400 LCF Dreamlifter, with the registration N718BA, is an extraordinary aircraft with a unique purpose. This massive cargo plane was specially modified by Boeing to transport large and oversized components of other aircraft, primarily the sections of its own 787 Dreamliner, from suppliers around the world to its assembly facilities in the United States. Its distinctive humpbacked design and enormous cargo hold make it one of the largest commercial cargo aircraft in the world.
• The Dreamlifter's history is intertwined with the development and production of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, one of the most innovative and fuel-efficient commercial aircraft of its time. To build this revolutionary plane, Boeing needed a way to transport the massive wings, fuselage sections, and other components from various suppliers to its assembly plants in Washington state and South Carolina. The solution was the Dreamlifter, which could carry these oversized parts with ease, ensuring the efficient production of the 787.
