This British Airways Boeing 747-400 papercraft is modelled on the British Airways plane of the same name. The red and blue mark on the nose, referred to as the Speedbird, is the British Airways (BA) logo mark. The design of the mark has undergone changes over the years, however, the name “Speedbird” has remained the same since the days of BOAC, which was a predecessor of BA. Even today, air traffic controllers and pilots refer to BA planes not as British Airway but as “Speedbirds” in communications. The exterior view of the Boeing 747 is characterized by a two-story cabin. The cockpit is located at the front tip of the second floor, making the pilot’s eye line 8m above the ground. The first floor has no cockpit but is wholly used for passenger seating, and the shape of the pointed tip can be seen from the inside.The Boeing 747-400 measures 70.6m in length, with a 64.4m wingspan and height of 19.4m. Its maximum takeoff weight is 412.8 tons, and it can cover distances of 14,205 km.

The GG1-type electric locomotive was developed and owned by Pennsylvania Railroad, an American company. It was known throughout the world because of its sleek body by French designer Raymond Loewy and is considered Pennsylvania Railroad’s “signature locomotive.” A total of 139 locomotives were manufactured from 1934 to 1943 and they remained in service until the beginning of the 80s. Today, although they are no longer in use and many have been scrapped, we can still find some in museums, etc.

The two swinging sea horses seem like they are actually swimming in the small tank. This papercraft is perfect as a decoration. Why not display it in your room? Sea horses are saltwater fish that live in shallow seas in temperate and tropical zones. The size of the adult fish vary. Some are only 2 centimeters long while others turn into 20-centimeter fish. Unlike other fish, they maintain an upright posture. Nevertheless, on their curved necks, they have gills and pectoral fins just like other fish. They also have small dorsal fins on their backs. When swimming, they do so slowly by vibrating their pectoral and dorsal fins. However, they are usually found sitting still with their long tails wrapped around sea algae and coral.

The two swinging clown fish seem like they are actually swimming in the small tank. This papercraft is perfect as a decoration. Why not display it in your room? Clown fish are mainly found near coral reefs in tropical areas. They live in and around large-sized sea anemones as their habitat. They are also known as a unique type of fish since they change genders during the course of their lives. There are 28 species of anemone fish and the clown fish are one of them. They are small compared to the other species and have white stripes on their orange bodies (behind the eyes and on the body and tail). They also have the characteristic of black and white linings on their respective fins.
