Herpa 1/500 Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 D-AIHI

Now it seems to be coming: the end is inexorably approaching for the four-engine aircraft at Lufthansa. Germany's largest airline was one of the largest operators of the Airbus A340-600, with up to 17 in operation at a time. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, the end seemed to be sealed. However, when demand quickly increased again after the lockdowns ended - too quickly for new aircraft to be produced and delivered - Lufthansa decided to reactivate ten of the 75-meter-long aircraft. As of May 2025, seven of those are still active, with at least three more to be decommissioned by fall 2025. So it's high time to release a – probably final – edition of the long-haul aircraft with a new registration in 1/500. Although D-AIHI has become nameless, our model sports some additional details in this new edition. In addition to further prints on the sides of the fuselage, the engines and on the wings, the second, smaller satellite dome on the forward fuselage have been added.
