Phoenix Finnair McDonnell Douglas MD-80 OH-LMT 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Finnair McDonnell Douglas MD-82 OH-LMT (Phoenix Models PH11996)

OH-LMT is a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, MSN 49877, line number 1594. Delivered to Finnair in May 1989, it flew in the carrier's domestic and European network. The aircraft left the Finnair fleet in May 1993, transferring first to Allegro Air as XA-TUP in 2002, then registered as N977PG in 2004, before being withdrawn from use at Marana, Arizona, and scrapped in 2006. Finnair operated 26 MD-80 series aircraft during this era; OH-LMT served exactly four years on the fleet.

Livery & Visual Details

The model carries Finnair's late-1980s scheme, considered by many collectors the carrier's best-ever livery — a bold dark blue cheatline running the full fuselage length, with "FINNAIR" in dark blue above on the white upper fuselage. The vertical stabilizer is white with Finnair's stylised dark blue "X" logo. Both rear-fuselage-mounted turbofan nacelles are white, with engine type "MD-82" printed on the cowlings. Powering the aircraft: two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 series engines. Classic tapered wingtips without winglets. Registration OH-LMT appears in dark blue below the window line.

Model Craft & Collectibility

Phoenix Models PH11996 is built on the updated Phoenix MD-80 mould — originally a TucanoLine casting from 2002, reissued with rolling gear and aerials. Published reviews rate this mould superior to the Gemini Jets/JC Wings equivalent for forward fuselage geometry and aerial placement. The Finnair blue-stripe livery is regarded as a high-watermark era for the carrier, a sharp contrast to later all-white schemes. OH-LMT's brief four-year Finnair career makes this registration meaningful for fleet completionists.
