Legacy Jets 1:400 Scale Models

Compared to the real thing:

(just flipped and cropped the photo to match.)



- High window line
- Cockpit windows are a bit off
- really only the nose gear is too big imo
- winglets are the worst thing about it tbh
- Nitpicky but tail shape is just a touch off too but not enough to ruin it at all!

fully agree with all these.
Still is a massive improvement over the Gemini mould, in my opinion

The E175 looks like a vast improvement over the Gemini version. Reading some of the comments about it makes me wonder how some can enjoy the hobby with the constant critiques given. Look forward to receiving mine.

I agree. I’ll be ordering both for sure. It will probably lead me to get rid of my Gemini E175 too.

As cool as it is to have a new choice, I’m hanging on to my GJ releases. I personally don’t have a reason to spend that much money on a little plane at this time. Perhaps if they release something I don’t have in my collection yet, then I’ll consider buying that from LJ.

I very much consider on buying the United Embraer. Just for now the problem is to find it. Scale Model Store is listed as official dealer and hapens to by my first to go dealer, but on the website of SMS Legacy Jets isn't even an option to select... Sent an email to ask and hoping for a good response.

The E175s are exclusive to Final Approach Collectibles. The Airtran and Avelo can be found at other retailers.

I think these look decent. Can’t say I’d want to get these, they are incredibly high in price, but maybe if I have some spare money I’ll consider one of them

The nose gear is for sure too big… the main gears seem to be a bit more on point. The wingtips as others have said are very over done. Also, the E-170/175 has a prominent tail down attitude.

I actually really like these - I might go for both!

FinalApproachCollectibles has a post on their Instagram stating that the AirTran and Avelos arrived and will ship out any day.

E175s will arrive “the week after next” so Brandon put it. According to my math that is the 23-27th!

I remember them saying 6 weeks in November… it’s now been closer to 6 months…

From chatting with him personally it seems they hit some kind of delay during production. No other details to share but it could have been anything from a remake to an error to a broken machine to box stuff not arriving on time. Who knows.

Hey my friend! I hope you’re doing well! The factory encountered multiple delays that were out of Legacy Jets and our control. We apologize about this but the wait will be worth it! They turned out really nice! We will have them at our shop the week after next as told to us by the factory and Legacy Jets. The Avelo and AirTrans are now in stock and ready for immediate shipping. Thank you for wanting to help support our small family business!

Seems like these were worth the wait, they look great for what they are!

 

[YesterAirlines]

These certainly look good to me

 

[CM Aviation]

Overall, so much to work with! The aerials are solid and despite the larger tires, they look better than any 175’s we have had to this point; I will take the larger tires over the previous ones from JC/GJ! No wing flex!!!

Pricey, but some big monopoly details that are worth the cost!

Looking great!

Glad they turned out well. If I didn’t have these from GJ already, I would be looking into getting these for less than what they’re going for at retail. Regardless of quality, I still think $60 is absurd for me to pay for a three-inch model. But for those that don’t have the GJ already or just want to throw their GJs in the garbage for any reason, this is a nice option.

If there’s plans to do an Embraer 175 with the regular winglets and make some long-awaited modern-classic birds, I’m willing to reconsider my stance on LJ.
