Those cockpit windows are bad but acceptable enough, that cheatline is unacceptable for a model of this price and that cargo door misalignment is crazy bad actually, that should warrant a recall

That's.... weird? 😂

Is it really a copy of NG's? It's so close to the same thibg that I made the assumption it was made by NG for Aeropolaris in the same way Bucchannan models used to be made by NG

Welcome to the rabbit hole hahaha, it's the best place there is!

Don't forget the final flight KLM MD-11 please 😁

While I'm annoyed that this KLM Cargo is on the old mould, I'm surprised anyone is doing this livery as a release at all, so I'll still gladly splurge on that one. Old mould or not, the colours and printing looks to be pretty decent

Hey Nick, welcome to MAF! Honestly your best bet at finding models that are no longer available at stores for reasonable prices is at aviation fairs! I know there's going to be one in Belgium on the 21st of this month, and another one in Germany in May. Good hunting!

Pretty much, yeah!

CX always has been a sold-under-the-counter type of airline, so I doubt this will change much to be honest... But you never know for sure!

Ah, just to clarify: the blue has gotten darker over time! So the 1980-2000 thick blue stripe's blue top was a lighter shade of blue than the thin blue stripe livery's blue, which in turn was slightly lighter than the current droop livery. The 2025 modification to the livery however has not...

I see you have the JC PH-BFG, that one should have come with an Aviationtag, so you could compare with the real thing if you'd like! You are certainly correct that the KLM Blue is different from aircraft to aircraft, this is because it gets lighter over time - I presume due to the UV in...

Truthfully, it is wrong. And I hate to say that, because if it was more like JC/NG then the models would truly be the best KLM models ever made... GJ also often struggles with the KLM blue, but they usually end up (way) too light which makes the models look extremely bad. YY has done the...

Saw this at the Aviation Megastore last monday when I came to pick up those KLM MD-11s... Had to get a LH Cargo MD-11 because of this because geesh these MD-11s are hot stuff

Oh yes, please don't consider my previous message as the truth that should go for all... I do think the cards, even if they don't have a serial, look awesome! It's just that when I purchase a model, I'd rather pay 1$ less and not have a card. It feels like adding a cool card to the model...

I was just thinking of starting a thread talking about this! Collector cards to me are of no value unless they include a unique serial number or something similar. Otherwise it's just a piece of paper/plastic that looks fancy but doesn't actually do anything for the model but increase the...
