So, The UA Express and US Airways are great, but I'm deliberating on whether to buy now or wait till next month. I need 2-3 good US releases in one batch. Does anyone know what is planned for next month?

Here are a few Aussie E120s that would be great to see:
VH-RPX - Regional Pacific. A now-defunct airline formerly based in Cairns and flew throughout Far-North Queensland.
VH-ANZ (any TL rego will do) - Airnorth. Only used on routes within the Northern Territory and sometimes on Darwin-Dili. The only E120 operator in Australia now.
VH-XFW (any rego will do) - Flight West. Former Ansett Subsidiary which flew all througout Queensland.
VH-XUE (any rego) - Skippers.
VH-NHA (any rego) - Network Aviation.
VH-YEI - Rossair Charter
There are a couple others, but these are a start.

This list is ever-ending! Fun times for sure!

At this point I don’t think there’s any doubt that the quality of these models can compete with any of the established diecast brands, but I just wanted to share this. I decided to try and print my own crj-200 to do a custom model, and even after sanding it was no where near the quality that i can see from the 3DD models.

I do seriously wonder how one is able to achieve 3DD’s quality

It’s resin printed. Not PLA. Resin tends to be on more industrial printers. Also, @OllieBHaas25 I was able to achieve a better result on my version of that CRJ-200 if we’re using the same file, which I think we are. It all depends on the printer!

I have it going on my resin printer right now so we’ll see how it turns out tomorrow.

Starting up an Aussie collection so I’ll be needing that AirNorth
+1 on the AirNorth (I live in DRW so see them all the time!)

I envy you… only Brasilias I see are Ameriflight cargo 120’s. I miss when it was in regular US service… flew on them a ton back in the early 2010s.

It is possible. I had these resin printed some time ago and haven't had the chance to paint them. Dash 8 300 and b1900C. I also have a couple emb-120s and C212s in 1:400.
What Is impressive from 3DD, other than the models themselves, is the mass production. I make a few customs a month and even that is hard to find the time to do.

Oh wow. You have a resin printer? Aren’t they toxic to humans? (The fumes)

yes very. i have like 4-5 air purifiers in that room alone, and the only thing the room is used for is 3d printing.

Very toxic, you need very good ventilation and the liquid resin can’t get on anything because it leads to skin conditions. Not a fun material to work with.
