1:500 Diecast: Edelweiss Air Airbus A320-214 HB-JLT "Help Alliance" (Herpa 537650)

Registered HB-JLT, this Airbus A320-214(WL) carries manufacturer serial number 5518. It made its first flight on 12 March 2013 and was delivered to Edelweiss Air, the Swiss leisure carrier based at Zurich. The aircraft wears a special livery promoting Help Alliance, the humanitarian aid arm of the Lufthansa Group, which funds development projects across Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Livery & Visual Details

The fuselage is white. "edelweiss" is lettered in large dark blue bold text on the mid-fuselage. Below it, "Switzerland" appears in a smaller dark font, and "help alliance" in gold text is positioned on the lower aft fuselage. The nose and forward fuselage carry an extensive red abstract pattern of shapes and dots, extending from the radome rearward — a motif also repeated on the vertical stabilizer and winglets. The tail features a large stylised edelweiss flower in yellow on a white background, surrounded by the red decorative pattern, with a small red star at the tip. The registration HB-JLT is in black on the lower aft fuselage, preceded by a small Swiss flag. The aircraft is equipped with sharklets; each sharklet carries a red star element matching the livery theme. Engine nacelles are white and plain.
