Reg. I-DEMS Release Date: 1999 Disc Date: 2002 Status: Model Updated Units: Limited Remarks: First Version, "Bvlgari Aluminium Flies With Alitalia" Colors. With Stand. Window Code: W2 Box Code: D1 Bulgari watch, Alitalia's "Flying Billboard" version 2. I-DEMS B747-243B is an all passenger plane, unlike "Baci" which is a combi. The livery was painted in 1998 and this aircraft serves the Rome-Narita route. The aluminium finish of this plane with a "Bvlgari" watch gives it an extraordinary appearance. Our model features the aluminium look, another version of our "Metallic Magic", besides chrome AA and hand polished Pan Am. The different metallic finishing on a small scale model airliner is technologically difficult to do, and it is a very expensive process. Other airline model manufacturer would like to stay away from this process. The wrap-around watch on our model is printed with Hi-Image technology, same on the real aircraft. Our fairing also has the aluminium look. The GE engines are imprinted with Alitalia markings, except one (same with the real plane), maybe this is Italian humor? We might not run another production of this model in future due to difficult production and cost.
