Five aircraft entered service between 1971 and 1972, all purchased from the Soviet Union. The aircraft depicted here carries the early CAAC registration \"2020\" — later formalised as B-2020 (MSN 21203) after China adopted the B-prefix system in 1974. Delivered in April 1972, B-2020 was withdrawn from use in May 1987 and preserved at Yantai, Shandong. The IL-62 powered CAAC's first intercontinental route network: Beijing–Moscow, Beijing–Paris, Beijing–Bucharest, and diplomatic charter flights. In April 1974, a sister aircraft (B-2028) flew Deng Xiaoping to New York for the United Nations sixth special session — China's first trans-oceanic flight by a Chinese-registered airliner with a Chinese government delegation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model wears the CAAC period livery: white upper fuselage with a thin blue stripe running below the windowline, with a bold lightning-flash Z-shaped blue accent over the rear cabin and wing junction. The Chinese characters reading \"中国民航\" appear on the forward cabin above the windows. The registration \"2020\" — without B-prefix, as carried before 1974 — is displayed on the vertical fin below the Chinese national flag (red field, five yellow stars). Four Kuznetsov NK-8 turbofan engines are mounted in pairs at the rear fuselage, a layout unique to the IL-62. No winglets; straight classic tips. Nose gear deployed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoenix Models PH12016 captures the IL-62 in 1:400 diecast, measuring 13.28 cm in length and 10.80 cm in wingspan. The rear-engine four-pack layout and T-tail profile make the IL-62 immediately distinguishable on any shelf. CAAC IL-62 models cover a machine type that never flew commercially outside the Soviet bloc and China — a Cold War-era intercontinental jet whose operational history is inseparable from Chinese aviation's first outward steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020 (later B-2020)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIlyushin IL-62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21203\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKuznetsov NK-8-4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.28 cm \/ 5.18 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.80 cm \/ 4.21 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePH12016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
