Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter, eller LCF, er en kraftig modifisert 747 som brukes til å frakte Boeing 787-komponenter mellom Japan, Italia og USA.
Herpa er den største tilbyderen av flymodeller i 1:500-skala. Til tross for størrelsen er det et imponerende detaljnivå på disse modellene. Mange samlere foretrekker å ha en større samling av flymodeller i denne skalaen da disse ikke tar opp for mye plass. I tillegg finnes det mye tilgjengelig tilbehør i 1:500-skala, for eksempel flyplassbygninger, underlag og diverse kjøretøy. Modellene er ikke leketøy, og dermed ikke beregnet for barn under 14 år.

Numerous components of the Boeing 787, aka „Dreamliner“, are manufactured in Japan and Italy and then transported to the USA for final assembly using four heavily modified 747-400 aircraft. Boeing therefore nicknamed these “Large Cargo Freighters” fittingly “Dreamlifters”. Originally delivery to Malaysia Airlines in 1992, N718BA was the last of a total of four jumbo jets to be converted, entering service for Boeing in 2010. Next to the bulbous cargo hold, most striking feature is swing tail cargo door. This newly developed 1:500 scale version can be displayed closed or with the tail swung sideways.
Herpa is the largest provider of 1:500 diecast models and is also known for the best quality in this scale. These smaller models provide opportunities for collectors to gather a large collection without the need of much space, and there are also accessories available for those that wish to set up their own airport diorama with buildings and equipment. These models are not toys, and not suitable for children below 14 years of age.
