Description
This Herpa Miniaturmodelle 1:500 scale die-cast represents a US Airways Airbus A319 in the airline's distinctive 'PSA' heritage livery. The model features the iconic orange and red cheatline sweeping across the white fuselage, with 'PSA' branding on the tail - a tribute to Pacific Southwest Airlines which US Airways acquired. This limited edition piece (model number 515238) showcases Herpa's attention to detail with accurately printed window details, rolling landing gear, and authentic airline markings. As noted on the packaging, this is a true-to-scale collector's model not suitable for children under 3 years.
The Airbus A319 is a shortened variant of the A320 family, designed for shorter routes with lower passenger demand. With a typical seating capacity of 124-156 passengers, the A319 offers excellent fuel efficiency and operating economics. The aircraft measures 33.84 meters in length with a wingspan of 33.91 meters and a height of 11.80 meters. US Airways operated a substantial fleet of A319s as workhorses on their domestic network before merging with American Airlines. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 6.8 cm in length with a wingspan of approximately 6.8 cm.
🇺🇸 About the Airline
US Airways was a major American airline that operated from 1937 until its merger with American Airlines in 2015. The 'PSA' special livery honored Pacific Southwest Airlines, a beloved California-based carrier known for its colorful aircraft and friendly service, which US Airways' predecessor acquired in 1988. This retro livery scheme was part of US Airways' heritage fleet program celebrating its merged airline families.
