HISTORY ASPECTS: Delta Air Lines’ McDonnell Douglas MD-90, registered as N910DN, was a prominent member of the airline’s domestic fleet during a pivotal era of modernization. Delivered to Delta in 1995, the MD-90 was an upgrade to the popular MD-80 series, featuring a quieter, more fuel-efficient International Aero Engines V2500 engine. The aircraft offered improved passenger comfort with a quieter cabin and better environmental performance. N910DN was painted in Delta’s iconic "Colors in Motion" livery, a scheme introduced in the 1990s to symbolize the airline’s evolution into the global market while honoring its heritage. The MD-90 played a crucial role in Delta’s short-to-medium-haul network, serving high-density domestic routes and providing reliability on hub-and-spoke operations. N910DN was a familiar sight at major Delta hubs like Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City, connecting these key cities with dozens of regional destinations. The aircraft’s performance and efficiency made it a valuable asset during a time when airlines were grappling with rising fuel costs and increasing competition from low-cost carriers. N910DN and the MD-90 fleet were gradually phased out as Delta streamlined its operations with next-generation aircraft like the Boeing 737 and Airbus A220. However, the MD-90 left a lasting legacy as one of the final McDonnell Douglas designs to serve in commercial aviation. N910DN’s service in the "Colors in Motion" livery captured the spirit of Delta’s transition into the modern aviation landscape, blending operational efficiency with an iconic look. This 1:200 scale model in the "Colors in Motion" livery, is a beautifully detailed tribute to this unique aircraft. Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts, it celebrates a key chapter in Delta’s history and the legacy of the MD-90 in commercial aviation.
