Stats provided by Planespotters.net The real thing, XA-ABQ presumably on push-back at Havana, 2001. Photography by Toni Marimon. Notes: AeroCaribe operated 16 DC-9s, nine of them were the pictured DC-9-31. There have only been two AeroCaribe 1/400 scale models ever made, according to MABd. This is certainly an airline that could use some better representation and the DC-9's wearing the 'Inter' livery would be a nice addition. This particular model, which was made by Aeroclassics in 2018, features the AeroCaribe titles with a red ribbon flourish down the fuselage which AC replicates nicely. The Aztec eagle is nicely replicated on the tail, but is missing a small marking behind the bird's eye. There is a gradient color shift on the tail, but it isn't as nicely replicated on the model as other details are. The Aeroclassics DC-9-31 is a great little casting, and it rarely misses.
