Without a doubt, my favorite model yet. Here is my one and only "Larger" aeroplane models, made by Space Models of the United Kingdom. This item was acquired earlier this year and came complete with a purpose built shipping container to contain the item. The model is supported by a heavy duty chrome plated stand, to which the main fuselage screws into. The wings attach to the main fuselage, complete with detailed CFM56-5B4 engines.
This model is number 5 out of 9 Airbus A320 models of this size, produced for British Airways, others bearing the "Ethnic Tail" liveries from the late '90's to early '00's.
Length 73" (187cm), Wingspan 69" (176cm)
The actual aircraft which was painted in this livery was introduced into service with British Airways on 04/12/1987, registration G-BUSC. This was the eighth A320 produced by Airbus (MSN 8). It had its last commercial service on 30/09/2007 and was scrapped in March 2008.

WOW! So this plane has like a 5 foot wingspan? Very impressive.
