Amazingly, this very scheme is also a short-lived one! This plane had "inex adria airways" fuselage titles (inex adria aviopromet on starboard side) from about 1970 until 1986 when the "inex" was dropped from company name. However only two years later Adria AW introduced their current livery which YU-AHW wore until approx. 1995.
I would be surprised if this model appeals to many collectors. If such an airline had to be represented for the first time in 1/400 scale with a DC-9, why not reproduce one of the two most common liveries? Being odd and unannounced, maybe this item is only a trial sample for marketing research purposes...
In the end, why not to pick up one of the many European liveries which are still missing?
