HX Models 1:400 China Eastern McDonnell Douglas MD-11F B-2174 Flaps down Model

1:400 Diecast: China Eastern Cargo McDonnell Douglas MD-11F B-2174 Flaps Down (HX Models M101104F)

B-2174 (MSN 48498) joined China Eastern Airlines on 16 December 1992 as one of five MD-11F trijets the carrier based at Shanghai Hongqiao. The aircraft flew trans-Pacific cargo routes until January 2006, then transferred to China Cargo Airlines for continued freight operations. The MD-11F's three-engine layout — center engine mounted in the tail fin above the horizontal stabilizer — gave it a distinctive silhouette that separated it from the twin-engine widebodies that replaced it across China's cargo fleets in the 2010s.

Livery & Visual Details

China Eastern classic livery: white fuselage with red, gold, and blue triple cheatline along the cabin windowline. "CHINA EASTERN" in blue with Chinese characters reading "China Eastern Airlines" below. The tail carries the carrier's red-and-blue arrow logo. Flaps extended, rolling gear deployed. The center fuselage cargo doors are visible on the HX mold, distinguishing this freighter rendering from any passenger MD-11 release.

Model Craft & Collectibility

HX Models M101104F is the flaps-down landing configuration release of B-2174, complementing the Interactive Series gear-rolling version (M111104C). Diecast metal. Displaying both variants side by side recreates B-2174 at two distinct operational moments on a single shelf.
