Dragon 1:400 still active as of 2024?

I just came across these models. These pictures were taken from Airbus website.
Well, I know Dragon did some corporate models for Airbus, but I thought that was in 2007/08 or so.
I didn't know they were still active nowadays.








The A321 looks very crappy (just like DW A320 family in a whole, to be honest) but the A330-900 looks quite better.
Any thoughts? This caught me by surprise, really!

If these are 'official' airbus models, they're terrible

Indeed Dragon wasn't very good with Airbuses. I guess the A300 and A340s (later releases) were the only good ones and these were still prone to having weird cockpit windows or clumsy gears.

I want to say Richard's article on DW does mention that they kept their Airbus line running for Airbus Corporate models. So, the answer is most likely yes, this is still good ole DW in 2024. And yes, Richard also lamented the fact that their Airbus molds were pretty bad (especially the narrowbodies), and it was a shame that those are the ones that remain active to this day. Such is life

Don't buy the DW models, buy the real thing.
They're better.

Dragon Wings was part of Dragon Brand, and DW died long ago, but Dragon is still alive

Yeah, I remember that but honestly I didn't know these were still being produced. I thought the last Airbus corporate models were released around early 2010s... guess I was wrong!

We carry Dragon’s Armor products in our store, they are quite nice actually.

Recently bought back two of their releases to go with the 200 scale.

What was the reason that they decided to drop out of the 400 scale business?
