2025 Model Showcase

This year hasn't been the best for me, and I'm sure it hasn't been for a lot (if not, everyone) here. I haven't been active on this site as well due to a lot in my personal life happening. That includes slowing down on buying models. A shame really since there are still a lot that are on my wishlist, but haven't been able to get. Brushing that aside, I've been choosing careful what models to get and where. And with new brands popping up, I felt intrigued and curious to see what they have to offer, especially at affordable prices.

So, instead of sharing on the purchasing page, I thought it would be neat to compile all the models I bought from May/June this year until now. I do have a large Black Friday haul coming shortly, and I'm excited to share (thank you holiday bonus 🙏).

KLM | "Current Orange Pride" Livery
PH-BVA
B777-300ER
Aviation400
  • Comes with a plastic stand
  • Magnetic gear
  • This model I have been looking forward to for a looong time. However, once it arrived, I can't help but notice the cockpit/nose area looks a little off. The entire front area appears to be too smoothed out, and the defining features around the cockpit area and nose cone are too pointy compared to their older B777 moulds.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) | "Hello Tokyo 2020" Livery
JA741A
B777-200ER
JC Wings
  • Comes with a title card
  • The model came broken when it arrived, where both slotted wings popped off from the fuselage. Thankfully, they were easy to fix. And upon closer inspection, there were no scratches and chipped paint on the model (I should have taken a photo of the broken wings).

Japan Airlines (JAL) | "Disney 100" Livery

B767-300ER

Virgin Orbit
N744VG
B747-400
JC Wings
  • Comes with a magnetic detachable rocket
  • Box came slightly damaged when it arrived
  • Like with a lot of JC's B747s, this one had it's nose gear bent. It also has one of it's antennas missing on the top fuselage.
KLM Cityhopper
PH-NXE
E195-E2
GeminiJets
  • Definitely one of the few GeminiJets models that turned out really nice, and I'm happy to keep!

Singapore Airlines | "Tropical" Livery
9V-SPK
B747-400
HX Models
  • Comes with a metal stand and title card
  • Overall, I am very pleased with the amount of detail and the quality of the models. By far my favourite B747 model. While the landing gear are as impressive, they make the model sit a tad too high.
**I made a mistake and ordered both the "standard" version and "flaps down" version in the same registration. I ordered 9V-SPL earlier, and will maybe have this model on sale once it arrives.

  • Comes with a metal stand and title card
  • Like HX Models (and utilizing their moulds), I'm very happy how these models turned out. However, the landing gear chosen for them are too shiny and make the model sit a tad too high.
