Critical Aviator 1/400 collection

Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 787-9 N780HA 'Kālepa' by Gemini Jets. Note that the name on the model is wrong: the name on the model is 'Kapuahi' which was initially supposed to be the name given to N780HA hence why it is on the model but the name was given to N781HA after the model was made. NG and Aviation400's versions of N780HA don't have a name written on them at all.

This is an old release? GJ is still using a seamed mould for the 787?
It is a 2018 release. I don't think GJ is still using this seamed mould as more recent GJ 787s have been on the JC mould. Hopefully they don't use the seamed mould anymore but given the AF 777 they released last year, I can't say that there isn't a 787 on the old mould which is yet to be released.
 
Boeing House Boeing 787-9 N1015B in the 'Dreams Take Flight' by JC. The livery is a tribute to the work of the Employees Community Fund of Boeing (ECF). The aircraft was supposed to be delivered to Hong Kong Airlines bu was not taken up. It was delivered to Biman Bengladesh Airlines as S2-AJX and named 'The Awchin Pakhi'

Norse Atlantic Airways Boeing 787-9 LN-LNO 'Raet' in the flaps down configuration by JC. This aircraft started its life as a Norwegian Air UK as G-CJUL and had the Roald Dahl tail design. It then went to Norwegian (the parent company) in Norway where it had its registration changed to LN-LNO until the carrier retired all its 787s. It joined the Norse fleet in 2022 and has been leased to Air Europa and Indigo for which it is currently flying for at the time of writing this post.

Pan Am Boeing 707-321B N435PA 'Clipper Celestial Empire' by BigBird. It was delivered to Pan Am in 1967 and flew with them until 1978 when it went to Korean Air as HL7435. In 1990, it went to African Airlines International as 5Y-AXW and in 1992, it went to Continental Cargo Airlines. It was withdrawn from use in Nairobi in 2002 and scrapped.

Airbus Transport International Airbus A300B4-608ST Beluga F-GSTA by JC. F-GSTA is the first Beluga ever made. Airbus produced 5 of the original Belugas to replace the Supper Guppy which was ageeing and deemed no longer suitable to Airbus's production needs and expansion. The original Beluga is based on the A300-600. F-GSTA is currently stored in Bordeaux as Airbus is retiring the original Belugas, replacing them with Beluga XLs which are based on the A330-200.
