Description
This officially licensed 1:400 die-cast model faithfully reproduces the Airbus A330-743L BelugaXL, one of the most distinctive transport aircraft ever built. Finished in Airbus' iconic white and blue livery, the model perfectly captures the BelugaXL's unmistakable whale-inspired profile, complete with its famous smiling nose, oversized upper fuselage and Airbus striped tail.
Manufactured with a finely detailed die-cast metal fuselage, the model features accurately reproduced engines, wings, landing gear doors, cockpit windows and printed markings. It is supplied with a clear acrylic display stand that presents the aircraft in an elegant in-flight attitude, making it an eye-catching addition to any aviation collection or office display.
Compact in size yet rich in detail, this officially licensed Airbus collectible celebrates one of the most innovative cargo aircraft of the 21st century.
The Airbus BelugaXL (A330-743L) is a highly specialized oversized cargo aircraft developed from the Airbus A330-200 Freighter to replace the original A300-600ST Beluga fleet. Entering commercial service in 2020, it offers approximately 30% more transport capacity than its predecessor, enabling Airbus to move complete aircraft sections more efficiently between its European production sites.
Its enormous 8.8-metre-wide cargo hold, lowered cockpit and characteristic whale-shaped fuselage allow it to transport wings, fuselage sections and other oversized components that cannot be carried by conventional freighters. Measuring 63.10 metres in length with a wingspan of 60.30 metres, the BelugaXL is capable of carrying two Airbus A350 wings simultaneously, making it one of the largest and most capable dedicated transport aircraft in the world.

Founded in 1970, Airbus is Europe's leading commercial aircraft manufacturer and one of the world's foremost aerospace companies. To support its multinational production network, Airbus operates its own fleet of Beluga and BelugaXL transport aircraft through Airbus Transport International. These remarkable aircraft shuttle oversized components between manufacturing facilities in France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom, forming an essential link in the production of Airbus commercial aircraft.
With its friendly "smiling whale" appearance, the BelugaXL has rapidly become one of the most recognizable aircraft in the world and is now a favourite subject among aviation enthusiasts and die-cast model collectors alike.
