GeminiJets Kingfisher Airbus A340-500 VT-VJA 1/400 GJKFR879

Description

This GeminiJets 1:400 scale diecast model represents the Kingfisher Airlines Airbus A340-500, intended registration VT-VJA.

Finished in Kingfisher’s striking red and white livery, the model captures the impressive proportions of Airbus’s ultra-long-range, four-engined A340-500. It features detailed printed markings, fixed landing gear and the airline’s distinctive Kingfisher tail design.

Released in 2008 and now sold out by GeminiJets, GJKFR879 is an unusual and increasingly difficult model to find.

An Interesting Aircraft Story

The real Airbus A340-542 was painted in Kingfisher Airlines colours and allocated the registration VT-VJA, but it was never delivered to or operated by the airline.

The aircraft remained with Airbus under the registration F-WWTG before later entering service with Azerbaijan Airlines as 4K-AZ85. This makes the GeminiJets release an interesting model of an airliner and livery combination that never entered commercial service.
