The airline named the aircraft \"Leadership\" — one of the named vessels in SIA's long-haul widebody fleet. The A340-500 entered service with Singapore Airlines on the world's longest commercial routes at the time, including the non-stop Singapore–New York and Singapore–Los Angeles services operated under the \"Singapore Airlines SQ21\/22\" branding. 9V-SGB retired from service and was stored from September 2013, with the airframe eventually scrapped in August 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJC Wings renders the classic Singapore Airlines livery: white upper fuselage with a continuous dark blue cheatline at window level and a narrow gold stripe immediately below, both running the full fuselage length. \"SINGAPORE AIRLINES\" in dark blue capitals sits above the gold stripe on the forward section. A small Singapore national flag — red over white, with crescent and five stars — is placed to the left of the airline name. The name \"LEADERSHIP\" appears in white near the nose below the cockpit window. Registration \"9V-SGB\" in gold-orange mirrors the stripe color on the aft fuselage. The dark navy tail fin carries the iconic Sarong Kebaya bird emblem in gold. All four Rolls-Royce Trent 553 engine nacelles are light grey, underslung on the low-mounted wing in the characteristic A340 four-engine quad layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Craft \u0026amp; Collector Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJC Wings item XX20673 in 1:200 scale. The A340-500 had one of the shortest commercial service spans of any Singapore Airlines widebody — the ultra-long-range quad was retired as fuel costs made non-stop ultra-long flights economically unviable before the 787 and A350 could take over. 9V-SGB at \"Leadership\" represents a specific named airframe from that brief epoch of quad-engine ultra-long-haul operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V-SGB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirbus A340-541\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMSN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e499\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRolls-Royce Trent 553\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\u003eXX20673\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.
