Description
This Herpa Wings 1:500 scale diecast model represents a CityBird Boeing MD-11 in the airline's distinctive livery. The model features the characteristic green and white color scheme with 'CityBird' branding along the fuselage and 'The Flying Dream' tagline.

The model comes in its original packaging with registration number visible.The Boeing MD-11 is a wide-body trijet airliner developed by McDonnell Douglas as an upgraded derivative of the DC-10. First flown in 1990, the MD-11 featured a stretched fuselage, increased wingspan with winglets, and improved fuel efficiency. The aircraft has a length of approximately 61.20 m (200 ft 10 in), wingspan of 51.70 m (169 ft 7 in), and height of 17.60 m (57 ft 9 in). At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 12.2 cm in length with a wingspan of about 10.3 cm. The MD-11 was primarily used for long-haul passenger and cargo operations, though passenger variants have largely been retired in favor of more modern twin-engine aircraft.
🇧🇪 About the Airline
CityBird was a Belgian charter airline that operated from 1996 to 2001, based in Brussels. The airline specialized in long-haul leisure flights to destinations in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia using Boeing 767 and MD-11 aircraft. CityBird's distinctive green livery and 'The Flying Dream' slogan made it recognizable during its brief operational period. The airline ceased operations in 2001 due to financial difficulties, making models in its livery particularly collectible today.
