Just got my American a319 in the mail today. Great model but has some issues. First of all color is dark. Nose is too long. And a horizontal stabilizer came off. Sharklets are a little too big. As well as the antennas. Landing gear is good and engines are massive. Ok more.

Those engines ruin the look of the model IMO, I can deal with the other problems, but not the engines. Aside from that, it is an exciting model!
 
Aside from the typical flaws of the GJ A320 family moulds, it looks okay. Color reminds me of the MAX 8 they did last year or the A320 they did in 2020 which was god-awful. I’m on the fence about acquiring this after seeing these pictures.

Agreed with MAX 8 color. Still thinking did these models all together and adjusted the color to this, which is days better than the 320 from 2020.
 
Aeroclassics is good. But my issues are no small detail like antennas. Wheels fall off WAY too easy. And they only make modern day models once in a blue moon. Still a good company though. I like their molds.

I would love to see more 757's from AC. That would be good for modern and retro aviation. And another united a319.
 
Agreed on the wheels, hate to complain, but its happened to over half my ACs. Also, NG tires are starting to get bad too, I have several fall off there as well.

They really need to do something about those massive engines. Otherwise, I'd be OK with it for myself.

NG is definitely having problems with their tires. My Delta L-1011 arrived with 2 tires and an axle laying in the cradle, it was an easy fix. Still not really acceptable for a $50 plus model.

So far, I've only had 1 Aeroclassic and 1 NG where the wheels fell off, and they were laying in the cradle when I opened them...both tires were separated from the axle.
