This model does not have any openings and retains the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging. The Conviasa Airbus A340-600, registration YV3545, is a symbol of Venezuela’s strategic investment in long-haul aviation through its state-owned carrier. Originally built for a European airline, the aircraft eventually joined Conviasa’s fleet as the airline sought to expand its international reach beyond Latin America. The A340-600, with its impressive range and passenger capacity, became a key component of Conviasa’s ability to serve destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East directly from Caracas. Known for its distinctive length—one of the longest commercial aircraft in the world—and four-engine configuration, the A340-600 offers both range and redundancy critical for long-haul operations. Conviasa leveraged these features to operate high-profile routes such as Caracas to Tehran, Damascus, and Moscow, often under bilateral agreements carrying political and economic significance. YV3545 became a familiar sight in international airports as a symbol of Venezuela’s persistence in maintaining global connectivity despite operational and geopolitical challenges. Its inclusion in Conviasa’s fleet highlights the airline’s adaptation of legacy wide-body aircraft to fulfill ambitious international service goals in the absence of newer-generation options, showcasing both innovation and resilience. This 1:200 scale model, featuring an elongated fuselage, authentic livery details, and realistic engine and landing gear design, pays tribute to one of the most distinctive aircraft in Latin American commercial aviation.
