1:200 Diecast: Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 N8710M "Imua One" (NG Models NG92001)

N8710M carries MSN 42567 (line number 6188) and was delivered to Southwest Airlines on September 13, 2018. The aircraft is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (737-8), powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines. In May 2023 Southwest unveiled the "Imua One" special livery on N8710M to celebrate the carrier's new service to Hawaii — "imua" is a Hawaiian word meaning to move forward with purpose. Model dimensions: 19.75 cm length / 17.96 cm wingspan.

Livery & Visual Details

The livery is a zone-by-zone Polynesian narrative. The nose and forward fuselage are bright blue, decorated with black hibiscus and plumeria floral patterns. Moving aft, a bold red section carries black elongated triangular and wave-like tribal motifs, transitioning into yellow adorned with black stylized sea turtle (honu) forms and wave patterns, then finishing with black-and-yellow chevron bands toward the tail. Engine nacelles mirror the fuselage zones directly above them: blue inlet cowl on the forward section, red with black patterns on the rear. "Imua One" appears in white on the blue nose section beside a Southwest heart logo. Registration N8710M is printed on the aft fuselage. The vertical stabilizer retains the standard Southwest tri-color gradient (yellow-red-blue). Winglets are blended upward-curving extensions.

Model Craft & Collectibility

NG Models NG92001 is cast in full diecast metal at 1:200 scale, released using NG's revised MAX 8 tooling. The model includes a metal display stand and features removable landing gear. "Imua One" is Southwest's first Hawaii service commemorative livery, and N8710M is the sole aircraft to carry the scheme — making this a single-registration special livery with no duplicate in the Southwest fleet.
