    Golden Age of Model Collecting!

    GJ was near the top in terms of quality when they made their own moulds- that's probably why many western collectors might say the golden era was 2000-2010ish. The production agreement means that the same deficiencies that affect JC now affects Gemini - and JC isn't innovating fast enough.

    Golden Age of Model Collecting!

    Believe me when I say that is never going to happen. I would say that, unfortunately, a vast number of european and american collectors probably have no knowledge of any other brands (ie. NG, Panda or any small chinese brand) other than GJ. They will always have their core base...

    Pictures of the new ARD Models 1:400 Boeing 747 Range.

    Even here in the UK, the price difference betwwen these labour-intensive qantas examples on the BA exclusives is quite large. 😑 At least the models have turned out great.

    Any news/pictures of the DHL since I'm sure it would have completed production if it is shipping before Chinese New Year?

    Shame they messed up the cockpit, something I feared 🙁. Hopefully the one on the other release looks ok...

    ALL NG 'Future' 1:400 Release Announcements (Rednote / Instagram / website / etc)

    I believe it might be due to Instagram mistaking the name of the brand for an account that posts inappropriate content if I'm not mistaken (one of the reasons I heard for the old account being taken down). It might be for the same reason this time as well.

    Obscure Brands & Panda OEM Releases

    I don't know exactly how manufacturers distribute and get their models to the West, but the ideal scenario would be for Panda to let the small brands utilise their contacts so that these obscure releases can be sold worldwide (not sell the products themselves). I do realise it's not that simple...

    Obscure Brands & Panda OEM Releases

    It would be nice if Panda sent some of the models produced by these obscure chinese brands down their international distribution networks - many people in the West would want these models. Getting them from a local retailer would be much easier than getting them via taobao.

    Legacy Jets 1:400 Scale Models

    Kinda surpirised that they didn't use Panda as the OEM - it is them with the A32x/737 moulds that have been tried and tested, and have proven to be one of the best...
