Delivered new in June 1980, 9V-SQO wore the classic \"Singapore Girl\" livery—the striking dark blue tail with the yellow sash and stylised bird logo that defined the airline for nearly two decades before the current gold-and-purple scheme was introduced in the 1990s .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eAircraft history:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9V-SQO was one of 22 747-200s that formed the backbone of Singapore Airlines' long-haul fleet in the 1980s . It served with the airline until June 1991, and during its career had a brief stint leased to Malaysia Airlines between January and April 1987 . After retirement from passenger service, it was converted to a freighter and transferred to Japan Airlines as JA8193, later flying for Orient Thai Airlines and MK Airlines before being scrapped around 2010 .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eThe classic livery:\u003c\/strong\u003e For collectors, the appeal of 9V-SQO lies in its markings. This is the Singapore Airlines that flew when the airline was building its reputation as one of the world's best—the era of the original \"A Great Way to Fly\" slogan, before the 747-400 and A380 became the flagships . The dark blue tail with the sash is a nostalgic reminder of the time when SQ operated 747s on routes to London, Tokyo, and across the Pacific to San Francisco via Hong Kong and Honolulu .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eAbout this model:\u003c\/strong\u003e JC Wings released 9V-SQO (item EW4742002) in its original Singapore Airlines livery. The 1:400 diecast captures the distinctive 747-200 profile with its classic cockpit windows and the early SQ tail design. At 17.67 cm long, it's a substantial model with solid diecast metal construction. For collectors of vintage Singapore Airlines, 747 variants, or those building a complete SQ fleet history, this represents the airline as it appeared in the 1980s—a very different look from today's aircraft.\n\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiecast Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL 17.67 cm (6.89 in) x W 14.91 cm (5.81 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegistration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V-SQO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAircraft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoeing 747-212B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingapore Airlines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDelivery Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJune 1980\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWith SIA Until\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJune 1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLease Period\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJan-Apr 1987 (to Malaysia Airlines)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSubsequent Operators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan Airlines (JA8193), Orient Thai (HS-ORA), MK Airlines (G-MKKA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinal Fate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrapped ~2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJC Wings EW4742002\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-assembled, pre-painted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge 16+ only.
