Description

This Herpa 1:500 scale die-cast model represents a British Airways Airbus A320 in the distinctive "Denmark" special livery featuring the "New Generation" registration scheme. The model showcases the unique tail fin design with vibrant red, orange, and yellow geometric patterns that were part of British Airways' World Images livery collection from 1997. This limited edition piece (numbered out of 500) features detailed printing, accurate window placements, and precise engine detailing. The model includes authentic British Airways titles along the fuselage and captures the essence of this special livery that celebrated cultural diversity across BA's network.

The Airbus A320 is a highly successful short to medium-range narrow-body commercial aircraft that revolutionized single-aisle jet travel when introduced in the late 1980s. With its fly-by-wire technology and advanced cockpit systems, the A320 family became one of the best-selling aircraft types in aviation history. The aircraft typically seats 150-180 passengers in a two-class configuration and has a range of approximately 3,300 nautical miles. British Airways operated numerous A320s on European and domestic routes, with this particular aircraft featuring dimensions of 37.57 meters in length and a wingspan of 34.10 meters.
