Seventeen models make up another diverse batch for Phoenix for August. Some great choices, many of which would be better if Phoenix had some better moulds. Here are my rankings.

Another airline that operated cargo DC-9s was Air Canada, but they appear to have only flown a single series 32CF and that aircraft was secondhand. The original 1969 delivered CF-TMN was passed almost immediately to Air Jamaica but in May 1973 they purchased N932F from ONA and she took up the...

Such a coincidence we both picked up the AZ freighter at the same time. Loving your Nines - got my eye on the SAS 1980s - one I need to get myself

There are still penty more DC-9s to showcase. This pair are actually the same aircraft - I-DIKF. Alitalia operated a trio of DC-9-32/33Fs delivered new in 1968/69. One, I-DIKG, was sold in 1972 but the other pair served until 1980/81 when they both went to Evergreen International (and actually...

No - it is another version of the UDF airframe they did before, but without the UDF engine.

NG has not been having a great year by any metric, but there are still some great models being released. This isn't the first time the Stargazer and its Pegasus payload has been released in 400 scale, but the marriage of the best L-1011 mould and a nice add-on equals a top model...

Hi Guys. I have been in contact with the owner of YU on and off over the past few months. Just for context the factory he is using for the printing is new to 400 scale and the resources of YU are dramatically lower than other brands. I have helped him with some artwork checking historically so...
