Phoenix China Airlines Boeing 787-9 B-18811 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: China Airlines Boeing 787-9 B-18811 (Phoenix PH12050)

B-18811, MSN 68385, Line Number 1256, is China Airlines' first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The aircraft completed its initial test flight on October 17, 2025, at the Boeing facility in Everett, Washington, entering China Airlines' fleet as the Taiwanese carrier's introduction of the 787-9 variant—a type offering approximately 20 percent better fuel efficiency per seat than the aircraft it succeeds. B-18811 is powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines, the same powerplant specified across China Airlines' 787 order.

Livery & Visual Detail

The model presents China Airlines' current "Next Generation" livery. The fuselage is predominantly white; "CHINA AIRLINES" in blue runs below the forward window line, accompanied by a small red plum blossom icon—the national flower of Taiwan. The registration B-18811 appears in light blue near the nose and again in black on the rear fuselage. "DREAMLINER" is stenciled in a stylized font on the rear fuselage alongside the Boeing 787-9 type designation. The vertical stabilizer carries China Airlines' updated plum blossom motif in graduated shades of pink, red, and purple against a white-to-light-purple gradient—a redesign that gives greater visual prominence to the flower. Wingtips are the 787's characteristic raked design; engine nacelles display chevron exhaust nozzles. No Chinese-language characters appear on the main fuselage in this configuration.

Model Craft & Collector Value

Phoenix produces this under item number PH12050. As the first diecast release depicting China Airlines' inaugural 787-9 frame, B-18811 documents the carrier's entry into 787-9 service. The "Next Generation" plum blossom livery first appeared on China Airlines' fleet in the early 2020s, making this a current-era livery release.
