1:400 Diecast: China Southern Airlines Boeing 787-9 B-1242 "787 Livery" (NG Models NG24177)

B-1242 is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner operated by China Southern Airlines, carrying MSN 63978 (LN 679). The aircraft first flew on April 15, 2018, and was delivered to China Southern shortly thereafter, becoming one of the early 787-9s in the carrier's growing widebody fleet. China Southern operates the 787-9 on medium-to-long-haul international routes from its Guangzhou hub.

Livery & Visual Details

The model wears a striking special "787" livery distinct from China Southern's standard scheme. A dynamic blue wave graphic flows from the nose rearward, transitioning from white at the forward fuselage to sky blue at the tail. Large "787" numerals in blue appear on the lower forward fuselage. The blue vertical stabilizer carries the airline's red Kapok flower logo. Chinese characters and "CHINA SOUTHERN" appear in dark tones on the forward fuselage. The two GEnx engines display characteristic chevron exhaust nozzles. Wingtips are raked — the swept extension standard on the 787-9.

Model Craft & Collectibility

Produced by NG Models at 1:400 scale, item number NG24177, cast in diecast metal with pre-applied livery printing. The model measures 15.7 cm in length and 15 cm wingspan at 1:400 scale, reflecting the 787-9's 63-metre wingspan. NG Models' 787-9 tooling is a recognized benchmark among 1:400 Dreamliner collectors for GEnx cowling geometry and raked wingtip accuracy.
