I noticed that different A32x moulds have different fuselage width. this is not only seen, but you can feel it. I decided to measure them to see the difference. the real A32x body is 3.95m what should be 9.88mm in 1/400 scale. But I am not sure in which exactly point this 3.95m is measured.
I have 7 different moulds of A32x and I measured all models in front part and here is the results:
Phoenix: 9.6mm
GJ/JC: 9.9mm
HX: 10.0mm
Herpa: 9.6mm
NG: 9.6mm
Kylin: 9.5mm
Panda: 9.6mm
my caliper is a cheap one so it wont provide 100% precise measurments but it is enough to see that different moulds have quite noticable difference. The moulds are devided in 2 groups with similar values: ~9.6mm and ~10.0mm. At first look GJ/JC and HX mould are more close to the real size, but again, I am not sure that 3.95m is the width of fuselage in point where I measured models because in point where the wings starts there is bulge what looks little wider then the round part of the fuselage.
What do you think about this and which mould is the most correct in this aspect?
