I thought this was canceled? Phoning a friend…

Same..,

 

[Jazajia]

Maybe a sample obtained through Sam Leung?

 

[JJ Skippy]

Yep, this looks to be the “canceled” release. Why did this get reverted?

 

[BillFlyTheDiecastGuy]

It is available here

Did you buy all the stock and make it a Prairie Diecast exclusive?

This one’s a pass for me. 3DD’s looks far better. Don’t know why they didn’t make the new livery Q400 which is much rarer

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

Toothpaste is fine but in terms of quality 3DD is way better. And it is super hard to find the modern livery for modern day setups

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

Unfortunately 3DD is your best option right now. If I had higher standards on printing I’d pick them 10 times out of 10.

3DD holds up really well to diecast — I see them worth trying, especially for the Northwest Mesaba Dash 8.

One thing I’ve started to dislike about my 3DD models is how light it is.

The lightweight feel is definitely off-putting for a lot of people I’ve talked with. But that’s just the nature of the material, and for the subject matters they’re doing, it’s a trade-off I would be willing to accept.

Might be plastic, but it looks great, just like diecast. The Q400 mould from JC looks pretty bad. Especially the gear

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 the same scale.

For me, I don't give a damn if it's plastic or diecast and (for the most part) I don't give a lot of focus on the moulds. For me, however, the printing is the most important. I'd get bad mould but good printing over good mould but bad printing.

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.

I totally understand that logic.
