Phoenix 1:400 China Eastern airbus A340-600 SKY TEAM B-6053 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: China Eastern Airlines Airbus A340-600 B-6053 "SkyTeam" (Phoenix Models PH11931)

B-6053 carries MSN 577, an Airbus A340-600 first flown on 2 June 2004 under test registration F-WWCM and delivered to China Eastern Airlines on 28 June 2004. The aircraft entered the SkyTeam special livery around June 2011 when China Eastern joined the alliance. It served until approximately April 2015, then entered storage at Parchim, Germany. By 2018 the airframe transferred to Boeing Aircraft Holding Company as D-AAAR and was subsequently scrapped — making this a closed chapter in both China Eastern's and the A340-600's operating history.

Livery & Visual Details

The model presents a pale blue-grey fuselage consistent with the SkyTeam alliance scheme applied to this aircraft. The deep-blue vertical tail carries "SKYTEAM" in white at the top, the SkyTeam ribbon logo below, and "天合联盟" in white beneath the logo. On the forward fuselage, "SKYTEAM" in dark blue runs above the China Eastern title, followed by "中国东方航空 CHINA EASTERN" in dark blue with the red swallow emblem. The registration B-6053 appears at the rear. Four engines in pale blue-grey nacelles. Conventional winglets. Rolling gear deployed.

Model Craftsmanship & Collector Value

Phoenix Models PH11931, released November 2024, is a diecast alloy 1:400 model. The A340-600 is among the longest commercial aircraft ever built — Rolls-Royce Trent 500 powered, four engines — and China Eastern operated one of the world's largest A340-600 fleets before the type's retirement. This SkyTeam livery version captures the aircraft at the intersection of two histories: the twilight of the A340-600 era and China Eastern's early alliance years.
