This year I started adding a few new types of aircraft to my fleet. I started buying the A340 as early as December 19. In the course of the year the A310, A350, 737-700 and 737-900 were added. So here is my top 10 used aircraft.

Number 10
518055 Goverment of Brunei A340-200 from 2010.
What applies to all planes in this list, I like planes that have as little white as possible. Here, above all, the elegant appearance of the A340 with four engines comes into play and the rather classic yellow paintwork, a color that is far too rare in aviation.


Number 9
528184 Vietnam Airlines A350-900 from 2015.
For a long time, the design of the 787 stood above the A350 for me. In the meantime, that has turned around. This is also due to the increasingly colorful paintwork on the A350. I think the plane is simply colorful with the blue color scheme of Vietnam Airlines and the golden accents.


Number 8
531344 Malaysia Airlines A350-900 Negaraku from 2018.
From Malaysia Airlines I only had the blue A380 and the red 747-400. This plane now combines the two colors. I hope to have another model from Malaysia in 2021.


Number 7
528412 Delta Airlines A310-200 from 2016.
I actually got the plane for free from Herpa when I entered the WingsClub. The mold is really good and better than the A300's. The paintwork from Delta also completely convinced me. That's how I started collecting A310s. Good move Herpa, good move.
Herpa now only has to bring the A310 onto the market. I have already found enough planes on Planespotters.


Number 6
520799 Royal Jordanien A340-200 from 2011.
In my opinion, a classic paintwork in gray with accents in red and gold. In addition the appearance of the A340-200. Just a good combination. The 787-8 cannot keep up with that.


Number 5
524506 Azerbaijan Airlines A340-500 from 2013.
The second model of my Azerbaijan fleet. The 500 isn't as handsome as the 600, but the color scheme easily makes up for it. Nevertheless, I would like to have the A340-600 from Azerbaijan Airlines in 2021.


Number 4
517812 Lufthansa A310-200 from 2010.
Yes, ok, I'm from Germany and Lufthansa is a German airline. But it was really not easy to find the model from 2010 and get it. But the model is really well printed and the blue window line is just wonderful. The model also looks great next to the retro 747-8.


Number 3
523738 South African Airways A340-300 London Olympics from 2013.
Probably the most colorful aircraft from SAA. This and the next two models are not exactly easy to get from anyone. So I am very happy to have the plane here. It's just colorful.


Number 2
Qatar Airways A340-600 from 2012.
The A340-600, in my opinion together with the 747-8I the most elegant aircraft in the sky. At least in real life. The A340-600 far surpasses the Herpa 747-8 mold. In Qatar's gray and purple livery, the plane always cuts a fine figure. By far the most beautiful model from Qatar Airways that I own.


Number 1
Etihad Airways A340-600 Formel 1 from 2011.
I'm a clear fan of the new Etihad livery, as many people know. Whether in gold, green, blue or silver like the new F1 airplane. However, they are all surpassed by the A340-600 in Formula 1 livery. After 8 months of searching, I was finally able to call the model my own in the summer.
