1:400 Diecast: Virgin Atlantic Airbus A350-1000 G-VNVR "Wendy Darling" (NG Models NG57030)

G-VNVR is an Airbus A350-1041, MSN 647, delivered to Virgin Atlantic on 15 March 2024 — the carrier's 55th Airbus delivery overall. Named "Wendy Darling" upon entry into service, it joined a fleet where every aircraft carries an individual name as part of Virgin Atlantic's identity. The A350-1000 at MSN 647 represents a late-build example of the type, equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines and configured for Virgin Atlantic's long-haul premium network out of London Heathrow.

Livery & Visual Details

The model carries Virgin Atlantic's current livery: white fuselage with "virgin atlantic" in dark red script font along the forward-mid fuselage. The vertical stabilizer is solid glossy red bearing the white stylised "Virgin" script. Engine nacelles are vibrant red, contrasting against the white wing undersurfaces. The aircraft name "Wendy Darling" is printed in small white text below the cockpit windows, accompanied by a Union Jack. The A350-1000's distinctive raked wingtips are reproduced with a red outer edge. No chevron nozzles on the Trent XWB-97 exhaust.

Model Craft & Collectibility

Released by NG Models under item number NG57030, this 1:400 diecast captures one of Virgin Atlantic's newest A350-1000s as delivered in early 2024. The individually named aircraft — "Wendy Darling" — adds a layer of specificity that distinguishes it from generic Virgin Atlantic releases. At 18.45 cm in length, the A350-1000 mould renders the type's notably extended fuselage relative to the A350-900, making the wingspan-to-length proportion visually distinct on display.
