This was the first time the A330-700L configuration, with its radically enlarged upper cargo lobe, flew under its own power. The aircraft carries two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines and was developed by Airbus Transport International as the successor to the A300-600ST Beluga, adding 30% more cargo volume capacity. MSN 1824 completed its test programme and later re-entered service in June 2024 as F-GXLG.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNG60018 captures the initial first-flight livery — the markings F-WBXL carried on 19 July 2018. The fuselage is white with \"AIRBUS\" in blue and \"BELUGA\" in dark blue on the forward section; the mid-aft fuselage carries the light-grey \"XL\" large-format graphic. The vertical stabiliser presents the deep-to-light blue wave pattern with orange trim at the horizontal tail. The nose retains the BelugaXL's characteristic smiling-whale appearance — the black curved mouth line below the cockpit windows and the round eye markings. This first-flight version carries the \"First Flight\" identifier markings, distinguishing it from NG60019 (revised test livery). Sharklet wingtips; white Trent 700 nacelles. Landing gear extended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collector Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNG Models released NG60018 alongside NG60019 in June 2022, both representing the original F-WBXL airframe at different phases of testing. The first-flight livery documents the exact configuration on the day BelugaXL history began — a moment directly relevant to anyone collecting Airbus programme milestones. The A330-700L mould, unique to the BelugaXL among 1:400 toolings, makes these models structurally unlike any other aircraft in a standard collection.\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\u003eNG60018\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.
