Geminijets Cubana ATR-72-200 CU-T1548 1:200 Diecast Model

1:200 Diecast: Cubana de Aviación ATR 72-212 CU-T1548 (GeminiJets G2CUB1252)

CU-T1548 carries MSN 453, an ATR 72-212 originally delivered to Mount Cook Airlines in New Zealand as ZK-MCQ in November 1995. The airframe transferred through multiple operators before Cubana de Aviación received it in July 2015. Built to the ATR 72-200 series standard, it operates regional routes from Havana José Martí International on turboprop power — a configuration rarely modeled among Caribbean carriers.

Livery & Visual Details

The model presents CU-T1548 in Cubana's classic livery: white fuselage with a deep dark-blue sweep rising from the lower aft fuselage onto the full vertical stabilizer, flanked by a red stripe and separated by a narrow white band. The nose radome is painted black. "CUBANA" appears on the forward fuselage in stylized blue lettering, with the Cuban national flag decal immediately forward of the cockpit windows. Engine nacelles are finished in dark blue matching the tail. Both six-bladed propeller sets are dark grey with gold blade tips. Registration CU-T1548 is applied on the aft fuselage and on the upper surface of the left wing. Classic raked wingtips without winglets.

Model Craft & Collectibility

Produced by GeminiJets under the Gemini200 line (G2CUB1252), this limited-edition 1:200 diecast uses all-metal construction with detailed turboprop nacelles and rolling gear. Cubana ATR-72 releases are among the scarcest Caribbean regional subjects in the 1:200 format, reflecting both the airline's limited international profile and the narrow collector base for Caribbean turboprops.
