Herpa Iberia Airbus A350-900 EC-NIS 1:500 Diecast Model

1:500 Diecast: Iberia Airbus A350-941 EC-NIS "Talento a Bordo" (Herpa HE532617001)

EC-NIS carries MSN 406 and was delivered to Iberia on June 5, 2020. In August 2023, this specific airframe was named "Talento a Bordo" — Spanish for "Talent on Board" — and flew a charter from Madrid to Sydney to repatriate the Spanish women's football squad following their victory at the FIFA Women's World Cup. The aircraft's name became permanently associated with that historic flight. MSN 406 operates as an Airbus A350-941, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84 engines.

Livery & Visual Details

"IBERIA" appears in bold red on the upper forward fuselage. The nose cone carries "TALENTO A BORDO" in small white text — a detail confirmed on the model. A Spanish flag decal and "IAG AIRBUS A350-900" text appear below the cockpit windows. The vertical stabilizer features the Iberia red and yellow logo design. Wingtips are raked; the outermost tips show small red and yellow color marks matching the tail. Engine nacelles are white with dark metallic intake lips; "IBERIA" lettering is repeated on the port engine nacelle.
