NG Models, Aegean Airlines A320-232WL: SX-DNB

Aegean has been the flag-carrying airline of Greece since 2013 following the acquisition of Olympic Air. While Olympic Air, formerly Olympic Airlines, has gotten plenty of attention in 1/400 scale, Aegean Airlines has seen a scant few releases. In fact, before NG Models prioritized a number of modern airbus airframes (there have been 5 releases to date), only Phoenix Models has made a single 1/400 scale model representing A3's existence. That model, an A321 was made in 2019, and recreates the airlines pervious livery. For more on today's subject, an A320, read on.

Line number 6832 was completed in 2015 and delivered in November. Aegean Airlines has the airframe on lease from DAE Capital. The aircraft has only served with Aegean Air to this point. 6832 is equipped with two IAE V2500 engines. Upon delivery it wore the old Aegean livery but has since been updated to the current scheme.

Notes:
NG Models did a nice job with this replica. The A320 casting used is superb. After close inspection of the overall livery, they have once again done a masterful job recreating the Aegean scheme. It does seem like the base color of blue is too dark, but not so much so as to detract from the overall appearance of the model. The print work regarding the physical details and attributes of the A320 are abundantly apparent and enhance the product beautifully. This model joined the collection in June of 2024.
