Latest Indonesian Exclusives from Airshop Diecast

[YesterAirlines]

Airshop Diecast is one of my favourite retailers, not just for their great service but also for the excellent range of retailer exclusives. June brings 6 new models from the store utilising both JC Wings and Panda Models moulds for some of the best in Indonesian aviation. Check out the new models here:

Latest Indonesian Exclusives from Airshop Diecast

Indonesia is a hotbed of retailer exclusives thanks to Harry's Diecast and increasingly Airshop Diecast. Kenney at Airshop Diecast has built a great business and strong relationships with both Panda Models and JC Wings. Over the past few weeks no less tha

Yup they're lovely - as are their other exclusives!
Thanks to @YesterAirlines i got in touch with the store. Ordered 4 of their Garuda exclusives - including this PK-GII, the retro 738, and 744 FD. There's a couple of CRJ1000 on the way too - pre-ordered one of them.
FYI - PK-GIH used to be the presidential plane

 

[YesterAirlines]

Yes I have one of these in the post now, along with the Wings MD-80s and an exclusive ATR. Will post piccies when they arrive.

Here you go @LeoMuse747 @planes_on_a_shelf

My latest package from Airshop Diecast just arrived and the star of the show is probably the Garuda MD-11. Of the two I got the version without the Pancasila symbol, which is PK-GII. I am loving these Panda Models MD-11s and happy to replace my old versions when the opportunity arises. This is my 6th and I have the Shanghai Cargo on order.

Absolutely stunning! I'd love to see a Varig on this mould but I guess it won't happen, specially because of the recent Phoenix release.

Yeah I'd love to see a few Varigs as well so I can replace my Geminis. I'd like to think it would happen, but given Panda make so few models for themselves nowadays I think it would need someone else to step up and work with them to get those made

I'd hope brdiecast or el Aviador do this though, if Panda fails to do so as themselves. El Aviador is still accessible - Brdiecast isn't as much

Very slim chances for BR Diecast. Sales would be minimal because most of the Brazilian collectors have just bought the Phoenix version and are happy with it. Maybe it would be a bit better if Panda release the Landor livery, but some of the collectors are diehard fans of the Ícaro colors and don't like the Landor some of the releases had slow sales (the Panda B737-400s for example)

That MD-11 is stunning. Wish i could get one

These sell out so damn fast I’ll just have to stick to my NG heavies.

You could reserve or purchase yours now - along with the other Garuda exclusives he's made. I've bought 3 (md-11 PK-GII, 744 FD, 738 retro) and pre-ordered the 4th - a CRJ-1000. To save on shipping I've asked him to send all 4 together - so it'll be May I'm guessing or hoping - but I'm assured now that I'll have them (at some point Hehe)
Patience is key Hehe

Thanks for the info, I needed the 744!

They are indeed. Just ordered GSI and GII, when both arrive my GA collection will be on par with SQ

Kenney and Robin at AirshopDiecast have been a dream to deal with. I've bought from them 4 or 5 times now over the past 2 or 3 years and they have been ultra friendly and reliable. Plus they've made some awesome exclusives.

Another recent trio of exclusives for Airshop Diecast come from JC Wings with the Citilink ATR-72s PK-GJA, JP, JU. Love the ATR mould and I picked up GJA, which transferred from Garuda in April 2019 and served until June, 20 2022.
