Kylin Model - New Brand & New Moulds

[YesterAirlines]

As discussed in this thread Kylin Models is yet another new brand that has appeared in the past couple of months, but unlike most they are developing their own moulds from the start and today they have debuted the first pictures of their new A320 and A330-200:

Kylin Model: New Contender & Manufacturer

The number of new brands popping up in 400 scale continues to rise, but the majority are using 3rd parties for the manufacturing process and moulds (either Aeroclassics, HX Model, JC Wings, Panda Models or Jet Hut). Kylin Model looks to be different as it

The new mold looks good.

And CI 747 with the ROC flag is also nearing completion.

This 747 mould is their own aswell? Not HX involved this time?

No, the 747 is manufactured by HX, while the A320 and A330 have new molds.

The funny thing is HX have already made a China Airlines 747-400 in that livery for Albatross

The A330 landing gear.........

The A320 Sharklets already look better than the NG/Panda ones at first glance. The angle of them as well as thinness. NG’s sharklets always seemed to be to be a little chunky when looking at them from its profile and don’t seem to angle back as much as they ought to.

Lots of work needed for these moulds. On a very brief glance the 332 has the wrong tail and the 320 has the v.tail too far front (probably among other things)

That tail issue on the 320 is nothing really new though. I wonder why some moulds share issues seen on other moulds too

All of these small brands coming to market are really making things interesting but it's so hard to keep track of what's going on and whom to pay attention too based of quality and reliability.

A major problem shared with these 2 Airbus moulds is the wingcross section (airfoil) shape. Both of them are way too thick and fail to present the supercritical airfoil-shape .

 

[Theresa apocalypse222222]

according to my observations, the kylin A320 mould is likely to be an updated JETHUT mould with improved landing gear. (Just look at that wingbox region and wing body fairing, completely identical to the JET mould.)

Suggest you spend a little cash on it first before dishing out these speculations.

No point for buying a model that already has obvious flaws; it is already quite easy to tell from just looking at the photos lmao

@Theresa apocalypse222222 @miaoyimiaozhongl I was talking with Kylin Models yesterday and I asked them about the A320 mould's heritage. They said that last year they 'encountered some difficulties' and so sold the already developed casting parts for the fuselage and wing sections to JetHut. So you are correct some elements of this are the same as the JetHut A319, however it was Kylin's mould not JetHut's originally. JetHut made their own engines and landing gear.

They are aware that the A320 isn't perfect (although it looks better than several on the market). Growing pains of a young company I guess.
