NG Models Air Tahiti Nui Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner F-OVAA 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Air Tahiti Nui Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner F-OVAA (NG Models). This aircraft, named "Bora Bora," is one of four 787-9s that make up Air Tahiti Nui's all-Dreamliner fleet. Delivered in 2019 (MSN 62710, line number 847), F-OVAA wears one of the most culturally rich liveries in commercial aviation. The design features a gradient of blues representing the Tahitian seas, the tiare flower emblem on the tail, and intricate "tattoos" on the rear fuselage inspired by Marquesan navigation charts—constellations, ocean currents, and island shapes woven into the pattern. Two red lines running along the fuselage represent the flag of French Polynesia.

A unique moment in aviation history: On June 3, 2023, F-OVAA hosted a historic vow renewal ceremony for Kris Perry and Sandy Stier—the first same-sex couple to marry in California after the overturning of Proposition 8. The ceremony took place in the Poerava Business cabin during flight TN101 from Los Angeles (LAX) to Papeete (PPT), led by chief purser Rodrigue Chan who identifies as gay. The flight celebrated the couple's tenth anniversary and marked Air Tahiti Nui's partnership with Conrad Bora Bora Nui to launch a vow renewal package for all couples.

About this model: NG Models' 1:400 release captures F-OVAA in its stunning Polynesian livery, including the blue gradient, tiare flower, and rear fuselage tattoos. The aircraft is configured with 294 seats (30 business, 32 premium economy, 232 economy) and powered by GE GEnx-1B engines. For collectors of Pacific carriers, culturally significant liveries, or aircraft with unique stories, this one stands out.
