SQ Y20family mould. won't be suprised if hx makes a 400 scale version
Nothing really interesting to Western collectors, I guess.
And there's also the NG releases

Which HX 747-300 release used the wrong wing? I recall a discussion here - just unable to locate it

If I didn’t remember wrongly, the Cathay 747-300 in the Cathay livery.
Basically the cathay 747-300 - it used the -400 wing with the winglets removed. The frame that’s the subject of the model had the newer WBF introduced on the -400.

Correct. This reflects the original design of the 747-300 wing assembly; note the wing-body fairing (WBF) is similar to that of the 747 classics. The last -300s to come off the line (like VR-HON) adopted an assembly similar to that of the new -400.

Hx (YY) Wings are just simply the best at the moment,as far as accuracy and detail are concerned!

Their A340s still have some glaring flaws, as does their 747-8 and 747-300 wings. Their classic 747 nosegears are also a bit too tall.
Their moulds aren't bad by any means, they are highly detailed. HX has quickly become one of my favorite manufacturers; that being said, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement, especially on their A340s.
