The Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340-600 G-VWEB “Surfer Girl,” represented in its 2017 configuration, celebrates one of the great icons of the four-engine long-haul era and a particularly memorable aircraft in Virgin Atlantic history.

With its exceptionally stretched fuselage, four Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines, and distinctive center landing gear, the A340-600 had an unmistakable profile. When introduced, it ranked among the longest commercial aircraft in the world and was designed specifically for demanding intercontinental routes.

For Virgin Atlantic, the A340-600 became an important part of the long-haul fleet for many years. These aircraft connected London with major destinations around the world while perfectly reflecting the bold and distinctive personality of the British airline.

Registered G-VWEB, this aircraft carried the name “Surfer Girl,” continuing Virgin Atlantic’s famous tradition of giving its aircraft individual names full of character. This model represents the aircraft in its 2017 appearance, wearing the elegant Virgin Atlantic livery and the famous Flying Lady associated with the airline’s identity.

Today, the A340-600 has developed an especially strong following among aviation enthusiasts. As four-engine passenger jets have gradually disappeared from airline fleets, this enormous Airbus has become a symbol of an unforgettable era when four engines and incredibly long fuselages ruled the world’s great international routes.

And in 1:200 scale, those proportions become truly spectacular. Recreated by JC Wings, XX20686 beautifully showcases the incredible length of the A340-600, its four Trent 500 engines, and the distinctive details of the Virgin Atlantic scheme.

Virgin Atlantic + “Surfer Girl” + A340-600 + 1:200 scale: a spectacular combination celebrating one of the most elegant four-engine airliners of the modern era. A true centerpiece for any commercial aviation collection.
