NG Models 1:400 Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo N228HA Model

1:400 Diecast: Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo N228HA "Ulu" (NG Models NG13140)

Airbus A321neo registered N228HA carries MSN 9274, was delivered to Hawaiian Airlines on 11 December 2019, and carries the fleet name "Ulu" — the Hawaiian breadfruit, a symbol of sustenance and growth. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1133G-JM geared turbofan engines, the exclusive powerplant across Hawaiian's A321neo fleet. The aircraft operates inter-island and US mainland routes configured in a two-class layout.

Livery & Visual Details

The fuselage is white with "HAWAIIAN" in dark blue capitals on the forward section, preceded by a small red hibiscus logo. A flowing gradient floral design — shifting from vibrant purple and magenta forward to deep red toward the tail — covers the lower rear fuselage, part of Hawaiian's signature lei-of-flowers scheme. A subtle silver-grey floral vine runs along the upper forward fuselage. The vertical stabiliser is dark blue (near-indigo), bearing the white Pualani profile — a woman's face with a flower — which is the carrier's iconic figurehead. Sharklets are confirmed on both wingtips, grey-silver matching the wing upper surfaces. The registration N228HA appears in black mid-fuselage above the wing root.

Model Craftsmanship & Collectability

NG Models produces the NG13140 in diecast metal at 1:400 with pad-printed markings. Physical dimensions are approximately 11.1 cm length and 8.5 cm wingspan. The model includes permanently extended metal landing gear with rolling wheels. The gradient floral livery at this scale requires fine tampo registration to reproduce the colour transitions accurately, making clean examples particularly sought-after.
