TBH, these LH MD-11s look odd to me with all the passenger windows outlined on the model. I looked at many photos of the real thing (e.g. https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1263940/d-alcd-lufthansa-cargo-mcdonnell-douglas-md-11f) but couldn't see the slightest evidence that there have ever been...

I added the Air One model to the MADB db, hope someone will add photos. Herpa doesn't have this model in their online archive. Actually the info/explanation was already there, directy under Charter's picture of the model ;)

No, they didn't change their name or livery. Air One Aviation is a british holding company and freight agency and the logo on the model is their logo. One Air on the other hand is one of their airline partners (owned by Air One), see https://aironeaviation.com/our-airline-partners/ and...

Good choice for a first model. Esp. the E-7 with all these small antennas/sensors has a lot of details that are easier to replicate in the larger scale.

JC Wings Lufthansa A340-300 "Star Alliance":

Two recent arrivals for my Lufthansa collection (Eurowings is and Germanwings was part of the Lufthansa Group) JFox Eurowings A319 D-AGWN: In November I had a flight on this bird. The model doesn't have the "Member of LUFTHANSA GROUP" text under the registration, but that was correct at the...

I'm glad to see that the grey tone on the engines (and probably the belly, can't see it on your photo) seems to be much lighter and closer to the real thing than on their offical photo shown in https://modelairlinerforum.com/threads/new-sq-wings-1-200-releases.1859/page-2#post-49305.

And another one, this time the beautiful Turkish Airlines 787-9 from JC Wings:

Today I received the Apollo Global A380. I missed out on the Phoenix release, was too slow and then it was gone. Then I came accros this one for just €41.95 at ScaleModelStore.com when I was ordering a 1:200 model and was looking what else I need from them. At a first glance I'm quite pleased.

Thanks a lot, very nice!

Beautiful and impressive Luftie collection! But from many birds we can only the belly. A shot from a higher pov would be nice.

I'm still here, was just too busy with other things :) Just a sign of life, another oldie from my collection, the JC Wings RAF VC10:

6 month later... We have now 5000 1:72 models from 39 brands in the database (+ 985 1:48 and 363 1:144). Hobbymaster is now almost complete, just some models that will be released later this year are not yet in the db, but that's less than 30 models. From my experience I can say that it works...

I just added them to the db: https://www.modelaircraftdatabase.com/database?brand=WI&p=1&scale=72&s=itemNo:asc&aircraft=F16&airline=VEAF If you like, you can submit pictures for the db.

Interestingly, all 4 of them are nice examples for the recent discussion about airline names in 2 languages (i.e native + english)
