Herpa Olympic Airways Boeing 727-200 SX-CBA 1:500 Diecast Model

1:500 Diecast: Olympic Airways Boeing 727-284 SX-CBA "Mount Olympus" (Herpa Wings HE538060)

SX-CBA, MSN 20003 (line number 671), was delivered to Olympic Airways on 19 December 1968, named "Mount Olympus." The aircraft flew for Olympic for approximately three decades before retirement. After Olympic Airways ceased operations, SX-CBA was preserved and placed on static display at Ellinikon International Airport in Athens—the airline's former hub—where it remains today as one of the few surviving Olympic Boeing 727s accessible to the public.

Livery & Visual Details

The model presents Olympic Airways' classic livery: a white upper fuselage and silver-grey lower fuselage divided by a continuous dark blue cheatline running below the window row. "OLYMPIC" appears in large dark blue capitals on the forward upper fuselage. The vertical stabilizer is solid dark blue, dominated by the iconic five interlocking Olympic Rings in their traditional colors—blue, yellow, black, green, red—against the dark tail. The aircraft's trijet configuration is faithfully rendered: two underwing-pylon engines and one S-duct rear engine integrated into the base of the tail fin. No winglets; the 727-200 features classic raked wingtips. JT8D-9A engine nacelles are silver-grey.

Model Craft & Collectibility

Herpa Wings diecast metal at 1:500 scale. The 727-200 trijet mold is a technically distinct tooling from twin-engine narrowbodies, capturing the rear S-duct intake and the period-correct low-bypass JT8D nacelle profile. SX-CBA's preserved status at Ellinikon gives this model a direct link to an aircraft still tangibly viewable today.
