1:400 Diecast: CAAC McDonnell Douglas MD-82 B-2124 (NG Models NG83016)

B-2124 carries MSN 49508, line number 1449, assembled in Shanghai under the CAAC–McDonnell Douglas joint manufacturing programme. The aircraft entered service with China Northern Airlines under CAAC administration, delivered on 12 October 1989 after first flight in September 1988. Registered as B-2124, it represents the early MD-82 units assembled in China—distinct from later fully Chinese-configured variants. The fuselage bears Chinese characters reading "中国民航" (Civil Aviation Administration of China) and the CAAC stylized bird logo in blue and red on the forward port side. The national flag of the People's Republic of China is prominently displayed on the vertical stabilizer.

Livery & Visual Detail

The model depicts the classic CAAC livery: white fuselage with a blue horizontal cheatline running below the cabin windows from nose to tail cone. The vertical and horizontal stabilizers are painted light gray. Two rear-fuselage-mounted JT8D engines carry smooth exhaust nozzles—no chevron treatment. Registration "B-2124" appears on the vertical stabilizer. The wings are gray on the upper surface with silver leading edges. No winglets—standard blunt MD-82 wingtips. Black radome nose cone.

Model Craft & Collectibility

NG Models NG83016 renders the MD-82 in 1:400 diecast metal, capturing the rear-engine twin-aisle fuselage silhouette unique to the DC-9 family. The CAAC jointly-assembled MD-82 fleet is a significant chapter in Chinese civil aviation history—collectors of Chinese aviation heritage will recognize B-2124 as part of the original Shanghai-assembled batch. Rolling landing gear included.
