Aeroclassic/pandamodel/ngmodels A320 series mould issue

[Theresa apocalypse222222]

Recently I noticed there is some issue with the wings on the Aeroclassic and related A320 moulds. The root chord of the wings is measured to 1.4cm which is equivalent to 5.6m. for Hx models the root chord is1.65cm which is 6.6m in actual size. The A320’s root chord should be 6.7m that means the wings on Aeroclassic mould is about 16percent narrower than what it should be.



the line I drew is not the root chord but it also shows the difference quite well

In my opinion the HX A320 mould is quite good actually, the cockpit window is not very oversized. And the error on vertical stab is not very obvious

Interesting. There's something that always kept me from buying AC or Panda 320s and I could never point my finger to it. I however like NG's 320.
Out of curiosity I now also measured some NG's and my single AC 320 (which I aquired for a few dollars) and concur your findings.
My AC 320 measures 14.32mm on one side and 14.08 on the other (polishing?) while the NG's are all around 14.4 +/-
So this can't be what my eyes don't like, but yes, these chord values are indeed on the short side.

However the real thing has a chord of 6.07m - 15.18mm.
So if the HX really measures 16.5mm then it is even more off, but in the opposite direction.

I still think the aeroclassics a320 mold was better than geminijets. Just my opinion.

Sorry I think I got the incorrect reading for hx’s root chord as I measured again with a ruler and my bear eye it is approximately 1.515 which is quite accurate. It would be better if I got a vernier caliper

It is, but that's a pretty low bar.
