AeroClassics China Airlines Airbus A330-300 B-18308 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: China Airlines Airbus A330-300 B-18308 (AeroClassics AC4B18308)

B-18308 is Airbus A330-302 MSN 699, which completed its first flight on 13 September 2005 and was delivered to China Airlines on 20 October 2005. China Airlines configured this aircraft in a two-class layout for long- and medium-haul routes out of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The A330-302 variant is powered by General Electric CF6-80E engines, distinguishing it from the Rolls-Royce Trent 700-equipped -300E variants operated by some other carriers. This AeroClassics release is catalogued by multiple retailers as a rare, very-limited production run.

Livery & Visual Details

The fuselage is white with a dark blue stripe running along the lower nose and belly. "CHINA AIRLINES" in bold black lettering occupies the upper forward cabin, preceded by a small red plum blossom logo. Registration B-18308 and the "AIRBUS A330-300" type designation appear near the cockpit windows and repeat at the rear fuselage. The vertical stabilizer transitions from white at the top to a soft blue-lavender gradient at the base, with a vibrant red plum blossom (梅花) centred on the fin. Wingtips are blue winglets with a darker blue outer face. Engine nacelles and wing upper surfaces are light grey-silver.

Model Craftsmanship & Collectibility

AeroClassics produced AC4B18308 in their standard 1:400 diecast format, capturing China Airlines' classic white-and-plum-blossom livery. The model ships without a display stand, consistent with AeroClassics' collector-series packaging. Multiple major retailers list this release as a rare or limited production item, reflecting AeroClassics' typically short production runs on specific registrations.
