Good review. It's hard to see Gemini Jets get the credit for JC's work, but that's how it goes. Glad to have interactive options on 1/400 scale. This never would have seemed possible at one point. Now it's common place.

The African DC-8's are really nice, the Korean DC-10 is pretty too.

Picked up second-hand for under $40 USD, the Maldivian A320-214 reg. 8Q-IAN is still active with the airline. Built in 2004 originally for Iberia, it was leased to Mexicana until 2007, then returned and used by Iberia until 2012. It has been on lease with Maldivian since 2012. Notwithstanding a...

Gemini junk. That's too bad.

It's just careless, and frankly a bit disrespectful and insulting to think people won't notice. 'Here, spend your hard earned money on a product that we refuse to improve, and don't care enough to spot check.' It's just a poor effort that's on display from production through to distribution. It...

Buyer be ware, these samples are showing a variety of production issues. I'm sadly in no hurry this month. The nose on this 707 is just really not ok.

It's nice to see JC Wings utilize an older casting in a way to keep 1/400 scale interesting. I also agree that this is a superior casting compared to the one GJ/JC have been using.

I was going to say the same thing. To me, after looking at Richard's photos, it actually looks like the shape of the APU is a bit different. That's just me though.

Good lord there's a lot of these pop-up brands to keep track of. Nice little models, the Juneyao is particularly nice and colorful. C Models would mean that that's the Panda tooling?

These seem to have limited availability in the United States. I've only seen Aero Polaris models at one retailer, and only the 737s. I'm sure that will be a hurdle for U.S. buyers.

Great summative Richard, thank you. A little bit of everything in the works it seems. Lots of new players in the scale looking to challenge the tenured companies.

You should do more investigating, not every A300 has been affected, and the AC A300 mould is really good. There's no harm in reaching out to a few dealers to see what's available. No harm in asking if in stock models are up to spec.

The Air Sechelles is a real disapointment. That's top of my list when Panda gets their casting into full production. But I suspect it will be a long time before we see another example of this airline, so this version will hold it's position until then.
