NG's engines are too large, yes. And in consequence the pylons are off too. Regarding HX, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything better unless they rethink their engineering approach.

Ok, certification sheets reveal not much new here. The B2K-3C basically was the same as the later B2-203 with the latter having the slightly higher rated CF6-50C2 instead of the 50C - the B2K could be converted to -203. The B2K was the last variant going by the initial designation system before...

The B2K was the first (B2) variant to have Krüger flaps. That's that little flap that closes the gap between the slats and the fuselage. Standard on all variants that followed. Edit: I need to take a look into some sheets to figure out what else there was behind that K.

Sorry for the delay, finally back home with a few minutes to look for some reference pics. As the bogie dimensions can be confusing due to different tire sizes (46" vs 49") an other way to identify is by looking at the gearbay doors. The original door of the A300B2 was clean as its 46" wheel...

Funny how you often claim things I'd want or demand in 400 scale which is just not true. The only thing I'd expect Yu to make is a correct wing print which is really just a new artwork and tampo cliche. I think after many years of being into engineering/production of stuff like this I'm pretty...

You just did with these two pics.😉 I think it's pretty obvious. As for the main gear trucks: as I said before, there were different trucks available for the real thing. The Thai shown above should be the shorter truck. These sure are the best A300s in 400 scale but not because they are great...

I've said it with the LJ 320 release already. Those chunky winglets and the (slightly) off tail kill this mould for me. Thankfully not a mould I was waiting for.

Quick one for today. D-AIXL is heading your way @pons399 right now. Lufthansa A350-941 D-AIXL by Alexander Kern, auf Flickr

Maybe the design doesn't go great on the longer fuselage. But then they'll have it on the 35K too.🤷‍♂️

Yes, this way both hubs (FRA and MUC) have a 100th 320N😉

D-AIND expected back tomorrow.

I'd have been surprised if NG really came up with something original. As has been said, where are the 340s? The 747Classics can be considered canceled I think?

My thoughts as well. Had to read the caption as I wasn't sure what I was looking at. It first looked like some sort of incident or a case of vandalism. Different airframe: D-AIMH is back home.

Same here. But I guess it can't be long til they do so. Wonder when (if?) AV400 will announce D-AIMH. The real thing is expected back Wednesday.
