    JC Wings August 2025 Announcements

    To each their own, but the JC mold is not significantly better than the Phoenix one. Now if we were talking about the Panda MD-11 mold then it would be a vastly different story. Then, the recent purple top by Phoenix has top notch printing detailing, properly placed cockpit windows and all. We...

    JC Wings August 2025 Announcements

    Nice selection from where I stand, many 1990s subjects 😎. I see a lot of re-releases. The UA 772 and Federal Express MD-11 were released by Phoenix not long ago, and they did a good job with those. I agree, JC's 772 is top-notch, and it has a promo sticker. Hopefully, the QC will be good. I...

    TexanAirplaneStore... a new future

    It is probably this. Listing pre-orders with Wix is very time-consuming. It is way easier to list them as in stock and simply label them as pre-orders.

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    Dude, I had it straight, now you are confusing me again. I'm not very smart, you've gotta take it easy on me.

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    We are all getting old. I misread the comment below and Richard's comparison: I get it now. The recent re-release has the generic wing artwork, which includes the emergency exit pathway, and thus makes it erroneous. I need to go back to stop posting late at night.

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    Correct, a few off them already sold out at AC direct. And while others might hang around for a while I doubt we'll see any from this set on a clearance sale.

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    ..or on eBay for $100. It all depends on what model we are talking about. Aeroclassics has a lot of molds that have no competition, and they release a lot of unique subjects. Their runs tend to be small, which helps those who put a lot of value on the collectibility of an item. It happens more...

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    Indeed. That someone would be AK himself. He asked about any particular details, and I mentioned it once. The model showed up almost a year later. And to my surprise, my comment did not go unnoticed after all that time. You gotta give Aeroclassics some slack, the fact that they omitted the...

    Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

    Fair enough, Alex. You are correct. However, it is true that the more detailed a mold becomes, the more delicate it is, generally speaking. And detailed doesn't always equal accurate. There are conflicting interests at play here, too. I think we have to be type-specific here. NG might have...

    Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

    I back you up on this. I think many of us need to understand that these models are very labor-intensive. Combine that with the fact that they are relatively in low demand, and it becomes evident that these models should cost more, but the industry is largely kept alive by a bunch of aviation...

    Yankee Victor 400 Airplane Model Shop Updates

    Getting them ready for the Monday morning mail run. From one to two packages once or twice a week, it is now not rare to see scenes like the one pictured below a few days every week. Thanks to all of you who have purchased models from Yankee Victor 400. I know many of you know me as a guy who...

    Aeroclassics July 2025 Releases

    I have to say that I was pleased to see the Servivensa 721s with the correct black overwing exit pathway instead of the generic 727 overwing markings used by most model brands.

    The box has the I Wings logo, but I couldn't figure out what that was. Still, Google gives me nothing for "iWings" or "Indonesia Diecast. For all I know, iWings could've been Batik Air's frequent flyer program 😅.
