Herpa Discover Airlines Airbus A320 D-AIUS 1:500 Diecast Model

1:500 Diecast: Discover Airlines Airbus A320-214 D-AIUS (Herpa HE537933)

D-AIUS is an Airbus A320-214(WL), MSN 7024, delivered to Lufthansa on 24 March 2016. It transferred to Eurowings Discover in December 2022 and subsequently to Discover Airlines—the rebranded Condor subsidiary within the Lufthansa Group—in September 2023. The aircraft carries the Discover Airlines identity, a distinct livery program separating the leisure carrier from its Condor predecessor. Herpa documents D-AIUS in this scheme under item HE537933 at 1:500 scale.

Livery & Visual Details

Discover Airlines' current livery contrasts a white forward fuselage against a deep navy empennage and rear fuselage. The vertical stabilizer presents a multi-tone blue wave motif transitioning from dark navy at the base through medium blue to a bright yellow-gold tip—the scheme's signature visual. "discover" is rendered in stylized blue lowercase on the port forward fuselage, with the "i" dot replaced by a small yellow-gold square and a yellow-gold accent in the "o." Registration "D-AIUS" with German flag appears above the logo, followed by "LUFTHANSA GROUP" in smaller black text below. Sharklets are white/grey with yellow-gold accents at the tips. Engine nacelles are white.

Model Craft & Collector Notes

Herpa's 1:500 A320 captures the type's narrow-body proportions with Sharklet detail at the 1:500 standard. D-AIUS is one of the early A320 examples wearing the full Discover Airlines identity post-Lufthansa Group restructure. Collectors tracking European leisure carrier livery evolution—from Condor through Eurowings Discover to Discover Airlines—will find this a clean single-aircraft reference for the 2023 rebrand transition.
