Default Dragonair Inflight oc L1011

My dad picked up a Dragonair oc L1011 several months ago in a circular tin box and gave it to me for my birthday yesterday. It looks like a Herpa but has the initials KA on the bottom.
Anyone know what that is?

Yes, its a Herpa. "KA" is Dragonair's code, just as Cathay Pacific's is "CX". I hope this helps!

Hi Norb,

just to let you know, there is also a 737-200 of Dragonair in old livery. Just like the L-1011 o/c the model is limited to 5,000 pieces. The models carry also an engraved number on the belly.
Both models were also available as set, the "Historical Set".
Regards,

Thanks Patrick...I also have the new colors Dragonair A330 in a tin box that we got from an earlyier flight. Gotta love those old liveries, though, instead of the Euro-white look.
