Herpa QANTAS 1/200 QantasLink Bombardier Q400 "Dasher-8"

In early December 2023, Qantas unveiled this Christmas-themed aircraft, replacing the reindeer with the kangaroos that are more common in Australia. The Dash-8 was aptly renamed the "Dasher-8," after one of the reindeer that pull Santa's sleigh in the popular Christmas song "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer." On the first flight with this aircraft from Brisbane, passengers were greeted by Santa Claus himself at the gate, which certainly created a festive atmosphere when boarding the plane. The Dasher-8 will be released once in a limited edition in 1:500 and 1:200 scales.
