Delivered on 19 January 1990, it was the airline's very first Airbus A320 — and at the time, one of the earliest fly-by-wire narrowbodies in service with a North American carrier. Air Canada operated it for exactly 30 years before retiring C-FDQQ in April 2020 as the COVID-19 crisis accelerated fleet drawdowns. The aircraft was subsequently stored and later scrapped, closing a chapter that stretched from the dawn of digital flight control into the widebody era. MSN 059 carries the added distinction of being one of the lowest-numbered A320s still in airline livery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe model depicts Air Canada's classic red-and-white livery from the pre-2017 era: a white fuselage with a continuous red cheatline running the entire length of the fuselage at the passenger window level, meeting a fully red nose cone at the front. \"Air Canada\" is applied in red on the forward fuselage above the cheatline, with \"Air\" set slightly above a larger \"Canada\" in a distinctive stacked san-serif layout. The vertical stabilizer is solid red, bearing a white maple leaf roundel at center. The registration C-FDQQ appears in small dark text below the cheatline on the forward fuselage. The engine cowlings are silver-grey with a red maple leaf on the outer face. Wingtips are the classic flat A320 style — no Sharklets — consistent with the pre-modification configuration of this 1990-delivered airframe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAeroClassics item AC411253 captures this historically significant airframe in 1:400 diecast metal. The classic red-and-white Air Canada livery has not been applied to newly delivered aircraft since 2017, meaning this color scheme is increasingly a collector's era piece. The combination of a milestone registration and a retired livery makes C-FDQQ a dual-layer collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC-FDQQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirbus A320-211\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e059\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCFM International CFM56-5A1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4 cm \/ 3.67 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.95 cm \/ 3.49 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC411253\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
