I think we could see a major switch from diecast to 3D printing. It can be done domestically, and relatively inexpensive to set up. We could even see a larger number of smaller players setting up shop. Could be good for the hobby, especially those like me who are into classics.

Not a problem that a little American ingenuity (and perhaps some 3D printing) shouldn't be able to fix... we've been dependent on other nations for far too long and that's why our country is in the shape it's in. I actually am in favor of the tariffs and we as a hobby will adapt.

What's the possibility of "Made in the USA" diecast, or more likely, 3D printed models? 3D Design Deck is doing a great job, but they're in Canada of course... so also subject to tariffs.

Yes, but Northwest or Republic would have been even better.

Indeed. For some of us in here, Jesus Christ is our God, our Lord and Savior! The Name above all names.

We could look into that after we get all the other customs that are needed.

The surface quality is so much better on the 707 and 757... I wish we'd had them do the 727 instead of getting the one from eBay. The 727 was very obviously painted using a brush.

Is that short 9 a new release? Could there be hope for other schemes as well? Northwest, Delta, Eastern, Midway... just to name a few!

Continental -300, final colors! That would be a great follow-on for JC's new -200.

Some of the prior ones could be sold, possibly.

@Purpleplane Are you going to be getting any of the fixed AA MD-80s? Hopefully at least one of them is in the black nose scheme.

That Continental is really nice. But I would have rather they did the -300 instead. The -200 has been done by AC and would be a duplicate in my collection. However... the CO -300 is completely untouched by anyone in 1:400!

In fact, according to my own communications with them, the very next round of 737s will have a host of improvements from these.

My gut feeling on seeing the list is that N96 is TWA. I'll take it either way!

The Hercules was offered in a civilian freighter version, the Lockheed L-100. It didn't sell well, but Delta had at least one at one time.
