Product Overview
Produced to the highest standards, Herpa diecast metal models are developed in collaboration with aircraft manufacturers and the airlines and are recognized by discerning model airplane collectors worldwide for their unparalleled, accurate realism, attention to detail and exceptional quality. True-to-scale, this Herpa 1/500 scale Azerbaijan Airlines Airbus A340-600 measures approximately 5-7/8-inches long with a 5-1/8-inch wingspan. A Display Stand is not included and is sold separately - Herpa HE521024. Longer than the Boeing 747-400 and the Airbus A380, the quad-engine Airbus A340-600 is a long-range, wide-body jet that was designed to compete against and replace early variants of the Boeing 747. Although similar in passenger capacity at around 380 passengers, it betters the Boeing 747 with approximately 25 percent better cargo capacity. The Airbus A340-600 initiated service in 2002 and was eventually replaced by the Airbus A350-1000.
