Have you tried the Aviation Megastore in Amsterdam yet? They usually seem to stock almost everything. Otherwise Scalemodelstore, also here in the Netherlands, tends to take up anything they don't

I’ll reach out after this release is done. I’ll let you know how it goes. Collectors spreading the word always helps us get in with new retailers too lol.

The DC-9-10/15 has the vortilon on top of the wing. And the wing is shorter than the -30. Also there is a small difference in the wing box fairing. That'ts mentioned in the link I sent in the DC-9-30 section.

That article that was referenced a few posts ago has tremendous detail on that. The wing is different. The wing to body fairing is different. No anhedral (downward angle) on the h-stabs.
Your wing to body fairing appears to be the latest style, only accurate for the -33/34, 41, and 51. You will also need to change that (and the wing incidence itself) for the -31/32.
A KLM DC-9 would probably be an instant winner with them!

It’s possible, I just need to get a retailer down there first.

That makes sense, thanks!
Firstly, your models look great and I hope to purchase some soon. I know many collectors are sceptical of 3D printed models, but I'm a fan. I also think this thread is an excellent idea, as long as it doesn't get bogged down in wishlists.
In terms of UK retailers, perhaps you could reach out to Aviation Retail Direct www.aviationretaildirect.com or Aircraft Model Store www.aircraftmodelstore.co.uk

Any chance of a Dornier 328 in the future? Would love to see a BA and KLM Alps livery in 400 scale!
I think wish lists are an important part of collector to manufacturer interaction. Perhaps that might warrant a separate thread.
I agree, however they shouldn't detract from the purpose of this thread, so your suggestion of a separate thread for wishlists is a good one.

We thought about it, but it’s not feasible at this time. It will have to come later on.

You're welcome! Hope it helps. I was wondering if we could help out in polishing the Dash 8 design also.

Yeah sure how so?

The tail and engine exhausts mainly.
The vertical stabilizer angle on the trailing edge should be more, almost but not quite parallel to the leading edge.
The top bit where the beacon goes shouldn't pass the elevator so much.
The apu exhaust isn't as long or square.
The engine exhausts should be more of a continuous line downwards with the actual exhaust protruding slightly at the bottom end.
Hope I'm not too picky. I just really like your work and want to see it get as good as it can be.

The APU I have already fixed but the rest is an easy touch up for next months release, thanks.
The rest is all very quick fixes as well, I’ll make sure to implement them.
