The aircraft made its first flight on 19 July 2018 from Toulouse-Blagnac with Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines, the same turbofan series that powers the A330 family. After several years of certification flying, MSN 1824 returned to the factory for cabin conversion and re-emerged in commercial service in June 2024 under its permanent registration F-GXLG, operated by Airbus Transport International to carry aircraft subassemblies between European production sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNG60019 represents the revised test-flight livery applied to F-WBXL during the later phase of the certification programme. The fuselage is white throughout. \"AIRBUS\" appears in blue and \"BELUGA\" in dark blue forward of the wing; a large light-grey \"XL\" graphic occupies the mid-aft fuselage, partially overlapping the \"BELUGA\" text. The vertical stabiliser transitions from deep blue at the base through layered blue and white curves toward the tip, with orange accent stripes at the horizontal stabiliser trailing edge. The nose carries the BelugaXL's signature smiling-whale feature: a black curved mouth line below the cockpit windows, creating the beluga whale expression. Sharklet wingtips confirmed; Trent 700 nacelles in white with dark fan blade faces. Landing gear extended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collector Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNG Models released the BelugaXL tooling in a pair — NG60018 (initial first-flight markings) and NG60019 (revised test livery) — both in June 2022. The A330-700L mould captures the BelugaXL's unique oversized upper fuselage lobe, the defining engineering feature of the type. As the aircraft that opened the BelugaXL certification chapter, F-WBXL holds singular significance in the Airbus production story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF-WBXL (test; later F-GXLG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirbus A330-743L BelugaXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1824\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2× Rolls-Royce Trent 700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.78 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWingspan (model)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.08 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Item #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNG60019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo ensure you receive a flawless model, we perform a mandatory physical inspection on every item before shipment.
