Yeah, the 1:200 Qantas Nalanji 743 will be coming home to me!

Let's see if the Swissair B747-300 will be kept this time!

That
Aren't these also marked under 'Pre-production' over at NG’s CRP?

Price-wise in China would give a leap to HX Wings. It now comes down to the amount of printed details on the model. Btw I noticed that HX has a much better eng #2 and #3 pylon than JC’s for GE/PW. The JC’s ones are scraping the ground. JC’s RR seemed just fine to me on the pics.
With the manufacturing style at JC (1 livery combo multi-reg already printed on the box) - they would surely have a release schedule for quite sometimes (1+ year). Chances are that the model was uploaded a month before it should be.
They do but not many confident are shown given their “lite” 741.

The CA 744 B-2445 'last flight' is supposed to be the first release of the 'new upgraded' regular mould afaik. Hopefully it turns out how we all would want it to be.

Nope. Even if it’s released, it’ll be Lite
Anyway, I’ll probably get the SQ 744 if it’s on the new mould. Better to get something okay-ish than wait for promises that won’t be fulfilled…

The nagging issue with JC 744s is the QC - my Virgin 744 pre-order was cancelled by the store as the stock received was damaged, the AI, JAL & UA 744s have paint bubbling, and then additionally, those CX announcements will probably take a year( if we're lucky) or more.
Sigh.
Sigh.

Surely they have to fix the QC issues with the 747’s? The issues have been there for a good year or 2.
Seems like JC aim is to just try and beat the other brands to releases

Which definitely seems the case - especially with the (CX) 744 announcements
But then JC also flooded the market with their A380s to clearly take the shine away from Av400....! Fortunately that strategy didn't really work out, as those Av400s sold out like they should have
Curiously, Av400 haven't announced any A380s in a while

JC doesn’t do that. 1:200 747 cockpit window issues have persisted for 3 years or so.

Pretty sure they just did, the three ANA Honu A380s. I saw a pre-order email, can't remember if it was from MHH or Waffle.

I haven't received any such pre-order email though from MHH now, as you mention, and neither do I see them listed.
The Av400 ANA Flying Honu trio are from earlier this year. Apparently something about those being 'exclusive' meant they weren't made available in all markets. At the time, MHH had mentioned that they 'may' get this after half a year or a year from Av400. So I ended up getting those from Bedfordshire even though the exchange rates are unfavorable, considering the uncertainties.

Ah, I see. And my bad, the email was from CAMAUST, sorry about that! It’s been a long day

I suspect it'll be the mould Witty was using towards the end. They made a Swissair 747-300 themselves, which I own:I´d like to order the Swissair 747-300.
Does anyone have an idea how good the 747-300 JC mould is in 1:200 ? I´ve been doing some searches on Goolge but I´m not quite sure..all I find is the 1:200 mould which I rather dislike .
If anyone can help I would appreciate, thanks.
