1:400 Diecast: Air China Boeing 747-400 B-2445 (NG Models NG04002)

B-2445 is a Boeing 747-4J6, MSN 25882. Delivered to Air China on February 25, 1994, the aircraft served continuously for 30 years and 6 months — making it China's longest-serving passenger aircraft in civil aviation before retirement on September 6, 2024. In May 2025, Air China sold the airframe for USD 13.6 million after listing it following storage. B-2445 outlasted every other Air China 747-400 and became a symbol of the Jumbo Jet era for Chinese aviation collectors.

Livery & Visual Details

Classic Air China livery: white upper fuselage with "AIR CHINA" in dark blue block letters and the Chinese characters reading "Zhongguo Guoji Hangkong Gongsi" on the forward fuselage. A dark blue horizontal stripe runs the lower fuselage. The registration B-2445 appears in dark blue on the mid-aft fuselage. The vertical stabilizer carries Air China's red Phoenix logo on a white field. A Chinese national flag is visible near the nose. Four engines under the wings in light grey nacelles. Classic 747-400 raked wingtips — the standard non-winglet configuration for the variant.

Model Craft & Collector Value

NG Models item NG04002 renders B-2445 in 1:400 die-cast alloy. B-2445's status as China's oldest passenger aircraft at retirement — and the cultural milestone of its departure after 30-plus years — gives this registration direct historical resonance for Air China fleet collectors. The 747-4J6 sub-type designation reflects the Air China-specific variant code.
