Aviation400 777 release dates/updates?

[CalAviator]

Anyone know anything on the 777’s Aviation400’s announced back in May? I saw updates on the new A380’s but nothing on the 777’s as of yet.

I'd say they will be next after the A380s. Maybe ask something on the AV400 FB page.

Got told they are coming after the A380s, release likely early next year.

Here we go, boys. Would the topic "long waits for models" make for a good video?

Yes it would. I believe there is already a thread for people's longest waits for models, that might be useful.

How does AV400's 777 compare to the NG and JC? I'm thinking of getting the Cathay.

Av400 are a bit late to the party after the market for 777s has already been flooded by NG, JC and GJ!!

Good. I prefer them to the JC, but in my opinion, NG trumps it. Think of JC's mould but with extra detail, correct cockpit windows and jewel beacon lights and you have the AV400 777.

I like the smaller details that AV400 puts into theirs.

 

[OscarBravo992]

So do I, but they also have had issues with overpolishing their noses, and making the 777s look like they had been rammed into a wall.

I smell a Cathay...

Me too... And my wallet isn't looking too good...

Same here, B-KPF's special livery is a must-have. Probably CX's second best-looking one behind the silver bullet 747s.

Yeah I'm gonna pick up this CX too. Got their earlier 'spirit of HK' release. Both cucumbers will look great together.

Currently they look more like ball-pens

IMO the AV400 takes the cake in this category over the NG 777 mould. Initially the mould had issues with some releases having blunted noses. But that problem seems to have been addressed along with improvements to the APU tail cone.

Good. I prefer them to the JC, but in my opinion, NG trumps it. Think of JC's mould but with extra detail, correct cockpit windows and jewel beacon lights and you have the AV400 777.

NG would win if they improve that APU tail cone. The JC mould does do a better job on the engine pylons, but cockpit windows and exaggerated APU appendages removes them from my cut.
