About This Item
Brand new 1/400 scale diecast airplane model of the Airbus A321, American Airlines - US Airways Heritage Jet, registration N578UW, features a detailed exterior in white with a blue tail and comes in a brand new box. This true-to-scale model does not include a stand or any openings and is made of diecast metal with some plastic parts, measuring approximately L-4.5, Wingspan-3.25 inches, providing a durable and realistic feel. The aircraft began its career with US Airways, delivered in 2009 as part of their A321 fleet, operating efficiently on both transcontinental and high-density routes from hubs such as Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Phoenix. Following the 2013 merger with American Airlines, N578UW transitioned to the combined fleet, adopting American’s livery while continuing to serve medium-haul routes like Los Angeles to Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami to New York. Today, it reflects both its US Airways heritage and its ongoing role within American Airlines’ domestic network, valued for efficiency, reliability, and passenger capacity. This 1:400 scale model captures the transitional history of this significant merger, featuring authentic detailing and accurate livery, making it an essential collectible for aviation enthusiasts and model collectors.
