Ethiopian in 1:400 and my collection

[PeachStateAviation]

Hello everyone, some of yall may know me from various groups, but this is my first thread on MAF which showcases my Ethiopian fleet in 400 scale. The collection includes:



#39041 NG Ethiopian A350-900 ET-AVE (Celebrating our 10th A350 sticker)



#39042 NG Ethiopian A350-900 ET-AYA X2



#39088 NG Ethiopian A350-900 ET-AYN (Star Alliance)



AV4274 AV400 Ethiopian A350-1000 ET-BAW (1st A350-1000 in Africa sticker)



GJETH597 GJ Ethiopian B737-700 ET-ALK



#202136 Panda Models Ethiopian B737-700 ET-ALN



GJETH1019 GJ Ethiopian B777-200LR ET-ANN



PH410881 PHX Ethiopian B777-300ER ET-APX



#55061 NG Ethiopian B787-9 ET-AUO (Beijing)



#55063 NG Ethiopian B787-9 ET-AUP (London) X2



As of now, the fleet is expected to grow tomorrow (funny enough) with the PHX A359 should arrive. I also plan on getting 5 of the JC Max 8s that were announced. The biggest gaps in the fleet are the 788s which are long haul work horses ( I do have one on the way but it’s not enough) and the 737-800/ Max 8 which have been made rarely (in the -800s case never made). I cant wait for all of them to be displayed when my ADD mat arrives very soon!

I was really surprised when Panda made the -700 version as Ethiopian has always had much more -800s that commonly operate to most African countries (the -700s that are in service mainly operate the Juba shuttle). In addition, I would like a new 777-200LR option other than the dated GJ from years ago along with the 788. I believe they can be nice sellers as these form the basis of most of their long haul operations in North America (minus YYZ, IAD) along with destinations like ICN, SIN, HKG, NRT, BKK, and a few more destinations in Asia. That's why I hold out some hope on the release of those new models at some point in time (also another A350-1000 without the sticker wouldn't hurt too).

Very nice! Would be good to see NG releasing the B777-200LR.
I've flown on their LR last year from GRU to EZE. Reg was ET-ANN

By the way, did you attach pictures? The only pic I can see is the boxes all together. Can't see pics of the models.

That was the only picture I attached. I was lazy and did take a picture of each model.
I’ve seen most of the -200 fleet as Atlanta switches between the 789/8 and 777 during the summer, and when the route first started, they used to equipment swap more often.
