Starjets produced this marvellous Singapore Airlines B747-400 "Tropical livery", registration 9V-SPK.
There has been much controversy over the appropriateness of producing aircraft models that have been involved in tragic accidents. In fact, Boeing 747-400 9V-SPK, flight 006, in October 31th of the year 2000 crashed into construction equipment during takeoff on a closed runway at Taoyuan International Airport (Taiwan). 83 people died and 71 were injuried.
Personally speaking i don't think that producing a model of a crashed airplane is an offense for the victims and the families because a such tragedy like an airplane crash is so immense about real life that can't be associated to a small piece of plastic and alloy.

9V-SPK might have crashed but that Tropical livery is stunning.
I don't think making models of crashed aircraft is offensive to the victims and their families and friends either. If anything, the model can honour them. Sometimes the subject matter makes it impossible to avoid crashed aircraft. And let's not forget that technically, any aircraft which there is a model of and is still flying can crash.
