Air Caraïbes Airbus A350-1041 F-HMIL by Herpa. This aircraft started its life as F-WXLV, a prototype until 2019 when it joined Air Caraïbes. It is currently stored in Bordeaux, France.

Herpa took way too long to release an Air Caraibes plane.
By the way, this one being stored took me by surprise. I wonder if Air Caraibes is facing some overcapacity?

I think a lot of manufacturers, regardless of scale, take way too long to make French airlines that aren't Air France .
I too was surprised to know this aircraft was stored . But this exact aircraft went to Bordeaux, where it is currently stored, in 2019 to be reconfigured into a passenger plane before being delivered to Air Caraïbes. So it could be that it is currently being reconfigured.

My Herpa Air France fleet:
- Airbus A318-111 F-GUGO in the new livery. This aircraft is unusual since it has no name which is usually the case with new livery AF aircraft and I saw it last year.
- Airbus A330-203 F-GZCE 'Colmar'. This is one of the first A330s retired by Air France this year. It is currently stored in Tarbes .
- Airbus A350-941 F-HTYC 'Saint Denis de La Réunion'. I saw this aircraft earlier this year.
- Boeing 747-128 F-BPVM in the 1998 FIFA world cup livery. This aircraft actually started flying for Air France with a US registration (N63305) in 1973 and only received a French registration in 1982. It has been retired in 2000 and scrapped in 2002.
- Boeing 777-328ER F-GSQF 'Papeete' in the new livery
- Boeing 787-9 F-HRBH
