Looks like a diverse yet pretty typical JC release. The Eva Air 744 will be great, it's excellent to see the 744 mould being used more. Nothing for me, but I am interested to hear your thoughts below!

Yeah it's quite a diverse set agree @OscarBravo992
Considering various criteria, the AI 777, Eva 744, Thai 146, and SAS 763 are right up my alley
But given my recent belt tightening, fingers crossed!

It's nice to see the 744 being used more frequently. And is it just me, or is there a massive influx of JAL A350s recently? They weren't exactly rare to begin with.

I'd say it's due to the A350-1000 being revealed in JAL livery. It will probably calm down after a while, but JAL is quite a popular airline, and models usually sell well.

Nice set! Good to see more B767-300s showing up.
I'd rather see a SAS in their 1980s livery, but still is a nice release. Nothing for me, though.
I wonder if they'll release a Condor or Martinair in 1990s colors. Or Varig in Landor '96. I'd love to see these!

how is the jc bae 146 mold?

Richard mentions it's the Jet-X mould and not the better JC/GJ one as I'd thought - the nose gear is updated and..... Well, larger than it should be! In line with GJ / JCs recent misadventures with their nose gears on other moulds. It's annoying and alters the look of the model but I guess not as bad as their recent mishaps ( the recent awful CP 727 and their A220s & SAABs). Don't have an option but to get this one as I don't have the earlier Jet-X release.

Nice set, but nothing for me...my wallet needs a vacation.

I'm happy to see a SAS B763 in the Blue tail livery. Have an old GJ release from 2004 (LN-RCF) that isn't that good.

It's the GJ / JC mould - it seems though that the nose gear is updated and..... Well, larger than it should be? In line with GJ / JCs recent misadventures with their nose gears on other moulds. However it seems to not adversely affect the look of the model (unlike the recent awful CP 727 and their A220s & SAABs). It'll be a nice addition to my Thai Landor classic fleet, and will give the two recent ATRs good company

Great, thanks for the advice!
I appreciate it.

again, if I ever start collecting 1:400 models that 777-200 ZK-OKJ would be one I would heavily consider unless they make the sister ship ZK-OKI

Nice release, I may consider one of the Finnair.
