The model features exceptional detailing including the distinctive Santa Claus and reindeer sleigh artwork on the forward fuselage, authentic Finnair markings, and the Finnish flag on the tail. This limited edition piece showcases the white fuselage with blue Finnair titles and the charming holiday-themed special livery that made this aircraft memorable during the 2000 Christmas season.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is a wide-body tri-jet airliner featuring three engines - two under the wings and one mounted in the tail. With a length of 61.20 m (200 ft 10 in), wingspan of 51.70 m (169 ft 8 in), and height of 17.60 m (57 ft 9 in), the MD-11 was designed for long-range operations. In 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 12.2 cm in length with a wingspan of about 10.3 cm. Finnair operated MD-11 aircraft as part of their long-haul fleet, and this special Christmas livery represented the airline's festive spirit and connection to Finland's association with Santa Claus and Lapland.
