Aether Model: new manufacturer in 1:500 scale.

[JetForge]

So maybe the delay of the new releases is due to a problem/delay of new moulds?
I saw on a video from BongoPlanes, that Aether plans to produce an A350-900 from China Southern very soon, with a wonderful special livery.
In addition, I plan to buy Aether's LATAM B788. Is it a good model and is it worth buying it?

If you have patience i should receive the nine Aether Model news in few weeks and i will make comparisons.

Aether Model changes.
- replacement of the real photo of the aircraft on the box with hand-drawn artwork referencing the real photo
- Apron diagrams removed
- Aether Model brand/logo will be refreshed
- All models from news IV 2026 will have satdome with a detail improvement. Additional production cost but the models will continue to be priced less than competitors
- Future batch announcements will only be announced once batch production will be at least 90% completed.

Honestly speaking i don't care so much about the majority of changes but i am extremely happy for the Satdome addition with more detailed models. This means a larger gap with Herpa, which models are dramatically lacking of details.
In the next days i will receive a big batch of news from Berlin including the nine missing Aether Model B787s and A330s: i am sure they will be beautiful and for some of them i can't wait to having the miniature in my hands (Norse B787-9, for example).
I am also happy for the lower prices than Herpa models, models that are becoming extremely expensive and with a truly terrible quality-price ratio!
But my greatest expectation is to see the narrowbodies, in my period as a collector in which I discard about 50% of the Herpa models don't buying them. For someone like me, particularly stupid to buy practically everything by Herpa with blind trust, I never expected to get to this point.

…and what about the Hifly and Edelweiss A340-300 ? I hope Aether is still planning them .
