That's mainly the case because 1/400 models are harder to come by over here. In Germany only Herpa's range of 1/500 and 1/200 airplane models is easily available in model train shops and similar retailers while 1/400 can only be ordered through a few select (online) retailers. Make 1/400 more...

Absolutely! And the LTU süd 767 that was rumoured months ago. Now's the time to produce non-US carriers if you want to sell model planes without higher tariffs.

There are plenty of regional aircraft JC could produce. Maybe in sets of two to attract more buyers. I would love to have more ATRs, Avro RJs, Fokkers or even Embraers.

I added the V-shaped part of the colour scheme under the front fuselage. Not 100% accurate either but better than what AC came up with.

Richard, I see the second run 747-200BM in the background. Did you correct the colour scheme under the front fuselage? I did and now like it very much. Although the first run was in general more precise the dark blue always spoilt for me.

The colour of the Varig A300 looks as bad as the one from the first round of Varig 747s back in the day. The DC-10 turned out much better as did the later 747s (at least colourwise). The factory workers just appear to use colours momentarily available at the factory. There is little colour...

I have never been a huge fan of Gemini Jets' Super DC-8s because they look so clumsy next to a well-proportioned Aeroclassics DC-8-60 model. But as AC has never got around to make the Super 70 series I have GJ's United DC-8-70 in my collection. And if GJ released a Condor DC-8-70 or a German...

Shouldn't there be airline logos on 767BA? I cannot find a single picture without them.

I still treasure my two tone Dragon 747-400 in roll out colours.

Nice review. I also like the wishlist. I would love to see Air France, Hapag Lloyd, United Airlines (Saul Bass and Batlleship), Luxair and many more.

I guess it has to do with an extended galley. That's the reason when 747s had those windows plugged.

Unfortunately nothing for me this month after most of my new 2025 models were Aeroclassics. What I need is a Kuwait Airways 727-200 (one of my first photos in 1989) and a Condor A310.

That's why I was suprised by your forgiving stance on the Alitalia. 😂 Do you mean NG's Luf-thansa or Aeroclassics' United? 😂

Personally I love Aeroclassics because of their choice of vintage airliners. I have also proof-checked artwork for AC from time to time. I just feel that these Alitalia titles look distorted (and the Continental titles look too bright at least in the pictures), which is not AC's standard. The...
