Aero Polaris A350-1000

[_KAviation]

I’m not sure if anyone’s seen this one, ARD have listed an Aero Polaris Virgin A350-1000 that’s due in August. This is the first I’ve heard of an A350-1000 mould from them.

Yeah I saw this too. Hoping someone will do G-VJAM as my best mate had his first flight as FO on VJAM and nobody (as far as I’m aware) has done a model of it in either 400 or 200 scale!

Someone definitely needs to do G-VJAM, it was the first A350 I flew on! Plus all the 44J config A350’s in Virgin’s fleet will have been released in 1:400!

I hope this isn’t ARD exclusive but we’ve been waiting for NG to remake it for so long

Only time will tell, there has been no formal announcement from Aero Polaris themselves yet. For me in the UK, ARD stocking them isn’t an issue. I am wanting NG to rerelease the Virgin A350, a pair G-VELJ and G-VNVR have been approved on their commission centre but only time will tell given the recent shift in NG’s release variety.

Yeah we’ve been waiting for the first approved model since the beginning of the NG voting program. All it would take is a reg and name change to an existing artwork.

Before NG goes off to make other A350-1000s, have they finished making the whole fleet of Cathay Pacific’s?

Looking forward to seeing it as well.

I hope Aero Polaris would pay attention to the A350-1000’s shorter & wider winglet, versus the A350-900’s tall and thin new winglet.

NG has just lost it recently - putting the -900’s tall and thin new winglet onto the A350-1000 (a few CX A35Ks are like that), then using the shorter & wider winglet on Delta’s 100th anniversary A350-900. Just all over the place…

Pretty cool that another brand jumped in on making the A350-1000! I'm curious if they'll consider the extended trailing edge since other manufacturers used the same wing across all 350 variants. Personally not really a big deal to me since the extension length at 1:400 is small, but will be interesting to see how far they'll go with the level of accuracy.
