JC Wings October 2025 1/400 Announcements

I saw JC released the 707, and it seems to use the BigBird model, so I want to ask if the EI 707, which also uses the BigBird mold, is worth buying?

The mould is OK but this Aer Lingus release have a very crappy printing, the window line is too high.

JC only have access to this ex-Witty Wings 707 mould. It is pretty good - I reviewed one a while back so have a look at this:

Pan Am | Boeing 707-321B Adv | N435PA | BigBird Mk3

Classic four-holer jets are a real rarity in 400 scale aside from the output of Aeroclassics. Of over 350 707-320s that have been made to date, over 270 of them are from Aeroclassics and since 2014 only one has been made that hasn't been by them. That is,

Unfortunately, as @LeoMuse747 says they messed up the printing with that Aer Lingus really badly

Well, thanks for both replies,so I won't buy it. After all, I can't stand crappy printing. Maybe waiting for the A6-UAE would be better? But JC probably won't ship it until next year. Sigh (Please, can JC change this bad habit)

The printing on the Pan Am that was released alongside the Aer Lingus one looks good to me.
