This collection of Lufthansa models given to the airline by manufacturers includes a number of planes that never wore the airline's colours in real life.
The Boeing SST models (both the early100 swingers in the background and the 300 in the foreground) are interesting in that they feature lettering which the airline had stopped using long before the models were made. Pacific Miniatures who made them must have used an old picture as reference.

A recently made version of the 200 version of the SST with canards also has the wrong lettering. My own small version of the 100 also made in the Philippines has the correct lettering

The models are made in wood by modelmakers in the Philippines.
Shapeways offer Boeing SST models in various scales.
The Revell Boeing 2707-100 swing wing kit in 1/200 is not easy to make but can be found as it was reissued some years back.
Sadly no diecast aircraft manufacturer has made a Boeing SST.
A 1and a half inch long supermarket toy by Zylmex Dynaflites used to be a cheap fun buy, but is often sold on Fleabay for silly prices.
