Is Panda Model The Next Big Thing in 400 Scale?

The no 2 is a bit of a mess? There shouldn't be a 'step' between the 2 intake segments - the bulbous shaft though seems to be well replicated.
Please get rid of that step ASAP 🙈

yes, that seam on the engine intake ring have been noticed on the previous Delta and American releases aswell. I don't know why Panda did that :( but it doesn't bother me that much, to be honest.

If it were just a seam with the two rings flushed and aligned , I would have loved it - as the real thing also did show a similar detail - and one can still discern the two separate portions - see attached image.

The problem is the very visible size difference and thus 'stepped' detail in the Panda tooling - the ring-within-ring highlights the stark misalignment

Not sure; surprisingly, I do see that Eztoys has the China Eastern Cargo on pre-order (not the pax version).

I also ordered the China Eastern Cargo as part of my stock. It just showed up one day on the Panda catalog. I think a lot of Panda releases are just thrown into their catalog without a formal announcement.
