JC Wings Virgin Orbit Boeing 747-400 N744VG Scale 1/400 XX40036

This JC Wings 1:400 scale model represents the Boeing 747-400 N744VG, famously operated by Virgin Orbit and nicknamed “Cosmic Girl.”

Originally built as a passenger aircraft for Virgin Atlantic, the Boeing 747-400 was later converted by Virgin Orbit into an airborne launch platform for the company’s LauncherOne satellite launch system. The aircraft carried rockets mounted beneath the left wing and launched them at high altitude, allowing small satellites to be deployed into orbit.

Operating from airports including Mojave Air and Space Port and later Cornwall Airport Newquay in the United Kingdom, N744VG became the centrepiece of Virgin Orbit’s innovative air-launch concept for space missions.

The aircraft retained its distinctive Virgin Orbit livery, making it one of the most recognisable modified Boeing 747 aircraft ever used for space launch operations.

This highly detailed diecast collector model by JC Wings features accurate markings and landing gear, making it a unique addition for collectors of both aviation and spaceflight history.
