AV400 January Releases

[planes_on_a_shelf]

At least with AV they are willing to modify the moulds and are trying to do better. They don't quite reach the heights of NG or Panda but they are striving to do more and I can't fault them for that.

Yes, this is true, and is commendable, and also at the relatively lower price point Av400 retails at, besides given how other legacy manufacturers are just too lazy to make much needed improvements!

My view is that their resources are shared with Inflight and that seems to limit what they can achieve

IF200 seem to be doing great - and hopefully we won't loose Av400 - hopefully they will be able to scale up their operations! It's a much needed brand and an important challenger!

KAL 359. For anyone looking to buy (I’d highly suggest waiting a few days), the engine color and upper wing reg placement are wrong.

Hello Everyone


We understand the concerns and have the winglet corrected. The factory will modify the winglet

Engine color is the correct color



it all is dependent on the lighting but the engine is the same color as the wings




Registration is also in the correct spot

Engine color is the correct color

Sorry, it is not.
Wings and pylons are all the same color on 350s, KE's engines are a darker grey than that - "standard" grey I'd assume.

Didn't really care on the reg, but on a quick look your image shows pretty well that it sits in the wrong spot.

I’m assuming the foto is saturated and looks odd, I’d wait for other images to appear first.

There's nothing to wait for. Even in AV400's image it is 110% clear the nacelle has a darker color than the pylon and 350 pylons are in "wing color".

Nice to hear that you’ll modify the winglet.

As Phantom said, the engine is a darker shade of gray than the pylons; this is apparent in many photos, and is a trademark of other KAL Airbuses. Those on the model appears to be the same shade of light gray as the pylons.




The upper wing reg’s H starts between the third flap track fairing and fuel jettison pipe. That on the model starts right at the fairing.
