AeroClassics 1:400 Cyprus Airways A310 5B-DAX Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Cyprus Airways Airbus A310-204 5B-DAX "Classic Mediterranean" (AeroClassics AC411439)

5B-DAX, an Airbus A310-204 bearing MSN 486, was delivered new to Cyprus Airways in February 1989 — the fourth A310 to join the Larnaca-based carrier. The aircraft flew European and Middle Eastern routes across more than two decades, surviving the turbulent restructuring of Cypriot aviation before the airline ceased operations in January 2015. AC411439 is a limited edition of 120 pieces worldwide, making it one of the rarer AeroClassics releases in the A310 series.

Livery & Visual Details

The model captures Cyprus Airways' classic livery: a clean white upper fuselage divided from a deep blue lower band by a thin red stripe. "Cyprus Airways" is lettered in dark blue along the forward upper fuselage. The registration 5B-DAX appears in white on the blue lower aft section. The vertical stabilizer is solid dark blue, bearing a stylised white moufflon emblem — the national animal of Cyprus — alongside the letters "AX" near the leading edge. Wing tips are classic raked, consistent with the A310-200 series. Both CFM56-series underwing engines feature visible dark fan blades and metallic silver pylons. Landing gear is deployed and static.

Model Craft & Collector Notes

Cast in diecast metal with a fixed undercarriage, this AeroClassics release uses the brand's established A310 mould. At 1:400 scale the model measures approximately 11.7 cm in length and 11 cm in wingspan. The 120-piece worldwide run and the subject aircraft's historical significance — as the carrier's definitive long-service A310 into the 2010s — give this release strong appeal among Mediterranean aviation and vintage Airbus collectors.
