Description

This exquisite Herpa Miniaturmodelle die-cast represents an Etihad Airways Airbus A340-500 in the airline's elegant gold and brown livery scheme. Produced as a limited edition exclusively for HERPA WINGSCLUB members, this 1:500 scale model captures the distinctive branding with 'Etihad' in both English and Arabic script along the fuselage. The model features the UAE national emblem on the tail fin with the characteristic red, green, and black striping. Registration A6-EHD is accurately reproduced, and the cream-colored base paint with gold detailing reflects the premium nature of this Gulf carrier's fleet. Fine details include aerials, landing gear, and engine nacelles.

The Airbus A340-500 is a long-range, four-engine wide-body airliner designed for ultra-long-haul routes. As a member of the A340 family, the -500 variant was specifically developed to compete on the world's longest non-stop routes, featuring extended range capabilities and a slightly shortened fuselage compared to the -600 model. Powered by four Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines, this aircraft type was particularly popular with Middle Eastern carriers for their long-haul operations. The A340-500 typically accommodates between 270-310 passengers in a three-class configuration and held several distance records during its operational period. The model measures approximately 13.3 cm in length with a wingspan of about 12.6 cm at 1:500 scale.
