Another A350 I have seen before its delivery. Emirates Airbus A350-941 A6-EXA by NG. I also have the Gemini version of this aircraft but I thought it would be interesting to have an Emirates model in 1/400 which isn't GJ.

Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-2H6ER 9M-MRD by NG . This is the aircraft that was shot down over Ukraine in 2014 operating as flight MH17 , killing all 298 occupants . Ironically, it was 17 years old when it crashed but still a tragic event.

Pan Am Boeing 747-121 N732PA 'Clipper Storm King' by HX. N732PA is the third 747 ever built. It was used as a testbed by Boeing until July 1970 when it was delivered to Pan Am were it flew as 'Clipper Storm King' until 1980 when it was renamed 'Clipper Ocean Telegraph'. It flew for Pan Am until 1986. In 1989 it went to Evergreen as N475EV where it was converted into a freighter. In 1991, it was involved in an incident when the aircraft entered an uncommanded right wing down bank, during which it lost over 10000 feet in altitude and passed the sound barrier, the flight diverted to Duluth and landed safely. In 1994, it was acquired by Tower Air and re-registered to N615FF where it flew until July 2000. In August the same year, it was acquired by Kalitta Air to use as a source of spare parts.

Thank you! Interesting read. If I remember well, a DC-8 have also flown supersonic in a dive during test flights.

You're welcome. Yes a DC-8 did go supersonic (mach 1.01 for about 16 seconds) in 1961. I just found this interview of someone who was there when this happened.
