NG Models Aer Lingus Airbus A320 EI-DEI 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Aer Lingus Airbus A320-200 EI-DEI "Irish Rugby Team" (NG Models NG15056)

EI-DEI carries MSN 2374, an Airbus A320-214 that first flew on 21 January 2005 and was delivered to Aer Lingus that same month. Aer Lingus applied the "Irish Rugby Team" special livery to mark the airline's role as Official Airline of the Irish Rugby Team, centered on the "#GreenSpirit" campaign. EI-DEI was one of the specific aircraft to carry this scheme in revenue service on European routes.

Livery & Visual Details

The livery replaces the standard Aer Lingus scheme with a dynamic two-tone design: deep teal covers the upper forward fuselage transitioning into a vibrant lime green that dominates the mid and rear sections, fading to white on the belly. The forward dark section carries "Aer Lingus" in white stylized text, a row of small green shamrock logos, and "Official Airline of the Irish Rugby Team" in white. The campaign hashtag "#GreenSpirit" appears in dark green above the cabin windows mid-fuselage. Registration "EI-DEI" is printed in dark text above the wing. The vertical stabilizer depicts a stylized rugby ball in green with a white shamrock logo centered within it. Large action graphics of Irish rugby players in dark green jerseys appear across the mid-to-rear fuselage. The model features sharklets — upward-curved pointed wingtip devices — painted light grey.
