    Well if NG wouldn’t be so incompetently slow with CRP models and usage. RIP NG.

    That Delta 747-400 will be at top 5 model of 2026 in my book. It has been almost a decade since we have gotten one and one that is seamless as well for the first time ever.

    Not to get too specific but Delta acquired them from Southwest “Technically”. 🤣

    Seems the engine issue is super hit or miss… The Untied doesn’t have it but the Delta slightly does and my other Panda 767’s I have gotten in the past don’t either. You win some and lose some I suppose. I was just happy my Aeroclassics stretch 8 didn’t have rocket engines shockingly they’re all...

    Yes the C Models United are perfectly fine! The Delta Z2 engines are slightly tilted but it’s livable considering how rare the livery and make is in the scale.

    Plastic parts - is it still diecast?

    One could argue that’s a problem then with a specific manufactures mold and the quality they put forward. Example NG’s 737-900 has die-cast horizontal stabs and isn’t tail heavy VS Gemini’s 737-900 that has plastic horizontal stabs because it is tail heavy. NG pulls off a better mold and uses...

    I totally understand that logic.

    To each their own and I think 3DD has done a fantastic job with their product. To me though plastic and die-cast even if they’re the same scale are their own categories and I don’t have much interest in plastic models.

    That’s fine I have nothing against 3DD and totally understand why people like them. However I quit collecting plastic models when I transitioned to die cast because they were die cast. I would rather stick to that realm and don’t have much interest going back to plastic models even if they’re...

    Quality if you’re looking for plastic models which I am not.

    Plastic parts - is it still diecast?

    This thread is going a bit overboard. I think it’s perfectly rational for someone to want only diecast parts (excluding wheels & antennas) in their diecast models without it offending others preferences. I myself get annoyed when there are plastic horizontal stabs & vertical stabs and will avoid...

    I myself want the toothpaste over the current livery in diecast form. No desire to get the 3D printed version.
