Much better, still there's something my eyes don't like with those wings or its trailing edge. And no, it's not just the slightly small "early" flap tracks. Anyways, the rest of me tries to convince the eyes that this looks good. Can't wait to see the first release.

Agreed on the picture angles. I'll wait until better ones are available. I just don't want to trust in what my eyes keep telling here about those wings.

I wonder how and why they do such a photoshoot of a sample with improperly installed v.tail. Push it in!😬😄

You have finished the artwork using what kind of program? If you used a vector system (Illustrator, CorelDraw, Inkscape,...) you already have scaled drawings - these programs work with dimensions and their use is highly recommended. If you used a bitmap system (Paint, Paintshop, GIMP...) you may...

Really love the looks of this GJ 747 mould, if only those pylon/engine assemblies wouldn't look that crude. For a seamless backdrop I recommend using a larger sheet of thicker but flexible paper or plastic sheet where you place the model on and that you simply curve upwards behind your model...

Well, natural light is great - if you have it available. I rarely ever have as usually the sun is long gone when I find the time to take pics. Well, and if I find the time at daylight I prefer photographing other things than diecast :LOL: I think I've posted these already somewhere. Time to...

Out of curiosity I just checked through NG's database and found 10 releases that should have the early taller tail - as far as I can see none of them use it but all have the later (shorter) one. I've spend some time working in an development/sampling department and what we did really was...

Thanks for this. I just recently was looking for this chart but couldn't find it. Perfectly illustrates the difference and the reasoning for it. Airbus managed to increase payload volume without significantly stretching the fuselage. Besides the cabin increase, this allowed the 600 to carry 23...

Let's wait, maybe there will be some more refinements. But I suddenly lost all (the bit of) hope for two "correct" moulds. But let's be fair - speaking from a mould development perspective - a B4-600R is as close to B2 than an MD-11 is to a DC-10. Waiting for that LH A300 now. Put the proper...

This mould is not -600, but a B2/B4 (A300Classic) with the outer wings and wingtips of a -600R. I was afraid it would be this way. Well, at least it's not the other way round.

Two v.tail variations. The early 332 was taller and the later modification unified 332 and 345/346 tails - at least to some degree. I had posted about in the NG 330Neo sample thread:https://modelairlinerforum.com/threads/ng-models-airbus-a330-800-900neo-mould-sample-review.1365/#post-21870

It is, but this time this is the correct mod. 48979 tail. I wonder, when NG has that pre- mod 48979 tail why did they never use it on their early 332 releases. Or did they?

Nothing that would alert my eye there, so I'm confident they fixed it.

Another one from inside the box. Playing around here... two ways lighting (undiffused from right/top plus right side bottom lit through semi-translucent plate)... Don't really like this due to the unwanted reflection 747spbl by Alexander Kern, auf Flickr

Too many models distract from the studio it seems.:LOL: I enjoy taking photos of models a lot more than collecting them to be honest. Here's a very private look into my self-made multi-purpose light box for scale modeling/decaling or photographing - stripped off all its diffusor plates and...
