I find the gigantic gap between the wings and the fuselage more concerning than the overwing exit markings.

United silver belly for me although the font looks a bit tilted.

But it could also be a wonderful walk down memory lane.

That would be fantastic but as long as there is no announcement I'll buy the AC version just in case. Too many models have been hinted at and have never been released. The Phoenix LTU süd 767 comes to mind.

Maybe if it's any United 767 you are interested in. But I doubt a United Airlines 767-222 in pre-delivery colours - both silver belly 767s were repainted before entering regular service with United - will ever see the light of day again in 1/400.

I've always been a huge fan of Dragon's 747-400 mould and I still consider it to be the best. Yet, there are some angles where new moulds like those of JC or HX are already in the lead. I think it's getting a close call. That being said, it's a areal shame that Dragon left the 1/400 arena a...

Two quick comparison shots: Patriot/HX vs Jet-X/Dragon Wings (two tone livery).

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.
