The Airbus A310 Canadian Armed Forces Model is made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful, finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same. We can however, if required produce the same model in Solid Cast Resin so just click and contact us for further information.

The paint scheme, markings and parts are closely matched, reflecting the original aircraft.

There are many types of military jet aircraft, but the basic types are bombers, fighters, fighter bombers, spotter planes, transporters, patrol aircraft, trainers, and reconnaissance and observation aircraft. All these types of aircraft are used for different types of missions. If you're a fan of historic or present-day military aviation, our model aircraft will bring the excitement and character of these aircraft right into your own home.

The A310 first began life as the +A300B10+., one of a number of projected developments and derivatives of Airbus original A300B airliner.
While based on the larger A300, the A310 introduced a number of major changes. The fuselage was shortened by 13 frames compared to the A300B, reducing seating to around 200 to 230 passengers and a new higher aspect ratio wing of smaller span and area was developed. New and smaller horizontal tail surfaces, fly-by-wire outboard spoilers and a two crew EFIS flightdeck were incorporated, while the engine pylons were common to suit both engine options.
The first flight of the A310 occurred on April 3 1982, after the program was launched in July 1978. Service entry was with +Lufthansa+. in April 1983. Early production A310s did not have the small winglets that became a feature of later build A310-200s and the A310-300. The A310-300 is a longer range development of the base A310-200, and has been in production since 1985. This version can carry a further 7000kg (15,430lb) of fuel in the tailplane.
The +A310-200F+. +freighter+. is available new build or as a conversion of existing aircraft (13 A310s were converted to freighters for +Federal Express+. by Airbus partner Daimler Benz [now DaimlerChrysler] Aerospace Airbus). The +A310-200C+. convertible passenger/freighter first entered service with Dutch operator +Martinair+. in 1984.
Variants
+A310-200+.
The first A310, the 162nd Airbus off the production line, made its maiden flight in April 1982 powered by Prattamp; Whitney JT9D engines. The -200 entered service with Swissair and Lufthansa a year later. Also the late series -200 also featured winglets just like the -300.
+A310-200C+.
A convertible version, the seats can be removed and cargo placed on the main deck.
+A310-300+3+.
First flown in July 1985, the -300 has an increased MTOW and an increase in range, provided by additional centre and horizontal stabilizer (trim-tank) fuel tanks. This model also introduced wingtip fences to improve aerodynamic efficiency, a feature that has since been retrofitted to some -200s. The aircraft entered service in 1986, again with Swissair. No production freighters of the A310 were produced. Operators such as +FedEx+. instead adapt ex-airline A310s into freighters. Most have been the -300 version.
+A310-300C+.
A convertible passenger/cargo version, the seats can be removed and cargo placed on the main deck.
+A310 MRTT+.
A310 MRTT of the +German Luftwaffe+. A310 MRTT:The A310 has been operated by many of the worlds airforces as a pure transport, however some are now being converted to the +Multi Role Tanker Transport+. configuration by EADS, providing an aerial refueling capability. Six have been ordered; four by the German Luftwaffe and two by the Canadian Forces. Deliveries began in 2004. Three are being converted at +EADS+. +Elbe Flugzeugwerke+. (+EFW+.) in Dresden, Germany; the other three at +Lufthansa Technik+. in Hamburg, Germany. The +Chilean Air Force+. has recently purchased two second-hand A310s to replace its ageing 707-320 Aguila tanker and transports. The first was received in October 2007.
