Review: 1:400 A320 Bangkok Air "United for Wildlife" Phoenix PHX1801(Deutsch + English Subtitles)

We are still close to the beach in danish Klampenborg, but around 150 meters from the waterfront and 10 meters above sea level. But not only the position to the Baltic Sea has changed, but also the scale. Because today we are dealing with a special Airbus A320 from Bangkok Airways on a scale of 1:400. Phoenix released the model in 2018, sometime in August or September. There is not much information from the manufacturer about this machine, better said none at all.

00:35 - Even the set number differed on various pages from model shops. But now briefly to the history of the aircraft itself: The first flight of the machine was in April 2006, it came to Bangkok Airways in December 2013. Due to the pandemic, it was parked in March of this year. The machine was given the special paint in middle of 2017, but I couldn’t find out whether something is going to be changed on the machine. In 2016, Bangkok Airways joined the United for Wildlife Agreement for the Transport Industry.

01:10 - An initiative launched by the English Prince William to stop the illegal trade in wild animals, it is assumed that 50 to 150 billion US dollars are turned over per year with this trade and thus it is in the top 5 most lucrative crimes in the world. The project wants transport companies such as airlines, shipping companies and freight forwarders to develop their own ideas on what they can do to make life as difficult as possible for smugglers. Bangkok Airways not only gave its aircraft a special paint job to draw attention to the project, but also developed information material such as videos and sticker albums for children. To inform the public about the problem. It is my first Phoenix model that I bought, in terms of quality it ranks behind the well-known big brands such as NG-Models or Gemini Jets. However, I was so impressed by the print that I really wanted this machine.

02:14 - If you are interested in the machine, you can get it used relatively cheaply on Ebay. The next time we will be on the road again on a scale of 1: 500. .
