Thanks for the detailed comparison @1400_Aircraft_Models! To be honest it does not really bother me. At the end of the day you will always have some difference between manufacturers. The only one that I avoid with KLM is Gemini.
Let's hope HX will release the Douglas Aviation MD-11 as well :)
What do you think about the color blue on the KLM MD-11? Just received mine and by itself it looks beautiful but compared to the NG and Phoenix color blue it's quite different.
Just like @JurriaanH I also returned from the Aviation Fair and bought some Wings400 GSE plus a Panda A330-300 and HYJL Wings A321 LR. Also fun to quickly see the man behind @3D Design Deck ! Amazing to see how far 3D printing has come.
I don't usually buy models that I fly on but for the Queen of the sky I had to make an exception! Took a flight on D-ABYA recently and when I saw that the NG version was available I had to buy it as a souvenir.
I understand about the storage/display space but how can you resist the urge to not at least inspect the model lol? I would rather open the plane box under the shower than to find out later that a model is broken/damaged and not being able to replace it.
I added 22 models to the collection this year. By manufacturer it looks like this:
JC = 6
Patriot = 5
NG = 4
Phoenix = 2
V1 models = 2
HX = 1
Aeropolaris = 1
AV400 = 1
The Patriot model space shuttle carrier probably is my favourite pick of 2025.
Love the fokker 70/100 planes! Especially seeing those trust reversers deploy on landing while spotting back in the days. By coincidence I recieved the farewell book of the KLM fokkers today. Amazing book although in Dutch ;)

You can also find them on Amazon and they do sell additional shelves.
Fun to revisit my post from 3 years ago.
In that time I changed my collection criteria, jumped from 34 to 91 models and thus needed more space.
Recently reorganised and this is the result
