Phoenix 1:400 United Corporation Ilyushin IL-96-400 M96115 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: UAC Ilyushin IL-96-400M RA-96115 (Phoenix PH11913)

Registration RA-96115 carries serial number 01001, the sole prototype of the Ilyushin IL-96-400M — Russia's stretched, re-engined derivative of the IL-96-300. The aircraft completed its maiden flight on November 1, 2023, operated by United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) as a flying testbed. Powered by four Aviadvigatel PS-90A1 turbofans, the IL-96-400M stretches the baseline widebody fuselage to accommodate up to 402 passengers, positioning it as Russia's primary domestically-built long-haul platform. Testing has been ongoing from Voronezh's VASO facility.

Livery & Visual Details

The model replicates the UAC house color scheme: white fuselage with a blue diagonal stripe across the forward cabin and a solid blue vertical stabilizer bearing the circular UAC/Ilyushin roundel in white. Fuselage text reads "ИЛ-96-400М" in blue Cyrillic characters on the port forward section. The wingtips and horizontal stabilizer tips carry distinct red accents — a feature visible on the prototype. A small Russian tricolor flag appears near the cockpit. Four white engine nacelles with dark grey inlet rims are mounted underwing in paired clusters.

Model Craft & Collectability

Phoenix PH11913 represents one of the very few 1:400 scale releases of the IL-96-400M type. The mould reuses Phoenix's IL-96-300 tooling, updated with the stretched fuselage plug. As a prototype-state release of an aircraft still in active flight testing, it fills a narrow window in diecast coverage of current Russian aviation programmes. Diecast metal construction; model length 16 cm, wingspan 15 cm.
