I know this has been discussed quite a bit on the AC threads but I hadn't really talked about it at the site so I thought I'd pull together a review spurred on by the recent acquisition of the NZ 747.
Few moulds in 400 scale have had the longevity or appeal of the BigBird 747 and although it appears a replacement mould will hopefully be on the horizon soon that hasn't stopped quite a few releases on this old casting in the past 4 years, both from BigBird Mk3 and Aeroclassics. I've got quite a few of each brands and there's no denying the difference between the two. Here I take a look at what has been made and compare a 2023 BigBird to a 2023 Aeroclassics:

Comparing 2023 Big Bird Mould 747s: Aeroclassics & Big Bird Mk3
The classic old BigBird 77 mould is still being used in 2024 but the quality of the product depends a lot on the source it came from. Here I review what has been made, by whom and compare them to each other.
