Would there really be a big difference between using tap/bottled water and distilled water? For years I’ve used just bottled water and microfiber cloth and have never had an issue.

Forget about the used models this is one of the few retailers that sells SQ Wings and Legacy Jets in the US. I've purchased the Legacy EI-AI MD-11 and 747, and multiple SQ wings models as well. Everytime I've ordered the models they arrived at my doorstep in 2 days in some cases the next day...

I used to think handling models with bare hands could potentially damage the paint but after many years of collecting found that not to be true . So in terms of harming the model you aren’t at all. Of course I wash my hands before as some models (especially polished) will show fingerprints.

I always expect something to be a little off when purchasing a model online . Whether it’s crooked gears , crooked aerials, engines slightly off, paint issues, slight bent wings, I never expect and really don’t even think I have never received a “perfect model”. I wish it wasn’t this way but...

I’d love to see TWA!

Thanks for this informative post! This Patriot and the HX 741 are at the top of my want list and I have a feeling they will be my favorite models in 1:400 out of all the models I have purchased over the past 20 years.

As long as the landing gear looks realistic and accurately sized , then rolling gear would be unnecessary to me. I’m quite sure that none of us play and roll around our model planes like hasbro toys .

My only guess is that the cockpit windows could be ever so slightly angled upward. Nonetheless they are some great looking models.

I have read in other threads that the AI A310 will be on the old mould :/

Detachable would be a good choice as that would also mean replaceable too .

I’m curious about all the gear as well as the sample shows no landing gear… is this most likely just because it’s a sample mould or I’m wondering if we’d actually get completely interactive gear but I doubt that.

Those are the people that will find flaws on the 1:1 versions too 😂

Looks like I got lucky with the Air Jamaica , the one I had my eyes on most. That’s the only 727 here that doesn’t appear to have the black rims on the engines . For whatever reason it seems every engine painted in silver has the black ring but with Air Jamaicas engines being painted white it...

I think HX has one of the best 747 classic moulds out there.. I really hope they will also release a 743. SQ already has done so , so I don’t think it would be a stretch to see one from HX. Imagine how great something like a Swissair 743 in its launch colors would be.

Oh man. Maybe they can get away with this livery on a 787 or 777, but it does not belong on the 74. Some things just shouldn’t change, and the Korean Pepsi livery was one of them.
