Can't believe they are they first one to announce it

Which mould would they use?

Not sure about the West, but in China / East Asia their models retail at 50-60% the price of NG's/APs

Which mould would they use?

I think it will be on their own mould. But honestly I have no evidence to back this up.

I believe it will be JC's mould since Apollo is made in the JC factory.

That would also make sense. I guess we just have to wait and see...

Hard to tell, but from the box art it appears to be missing the small brushwing logo next to the "80" logo (although it correctly appears in the logo in the bottom corner) and white stripes on the inner winglet. Hope it's correct on the final model.

If they'll use JC's mould, would it mean it's being released 'on behalf of JC' to skirt licensing issues? like blue box etc?
Then it would retail at JC prices - unlike their last year's 747s & A380s

Yes, JC… they are gonna compete themselves with JC which is also the manufacturer so let’s see who will have a better sales

Any factory can have blue plastic racks, as some discussion in China, this might be Geministar A350 mould (not Panda)

Any factory can have blue plastic racks

not why I stated JC, to be clear though

The awful nose and cockpit printing from earlier photos is a big giveaway this is JC.
