LegacyJets x FinalApproachCollectibles Future Release

[MD11ER]

JC Wings has the only mould for the E-170 family in this scale, so it makes sense why one would think so. Plus the HX factory used to be a factory for JC Wings, so it isn't far fetched to say that it might be a clone or a modified clone of the JC mould.

I believe JC was the only one with the E170 mould — until Legacy Jets came onto the scene. With their recent collaboration with Final Approach and a few more models hinted at on their website, it’s clear exciting things are coming. And for the record, the HX factory was never JC Wings — that’s a long-standing false claim. I do think JC wishes they had HX/ SQ/ Legacy tooling

Herpa also had a E170.

With all due respect the relationship between JC Wings and Diecast Plane Master (DPM) - the factory behind SQ and HX is 100% clear as is the manner of the breakup of the relationship. I have had it confirmed from multiple sources and I'm not going to repeat the claims again - however I detailed them in a video on the YT channel. They came direct from the horses mouth so to speak.

DPM was one of the factories closely aligned to JC Wings that made JC Wings releases and worked on their moulds. That is not a 'long standing false claim'. The breakup has been acrimonious and the connectivity between several SQ and JC 200 scale moulds is pretty indisputable. The fact they make flaps down models illustrates the closeness the two brands once had. Now HX 400 scale moulds certainly to date haven't been copies of JC ones, which is one of the reasons I'm willing to work with them, but are they 100% new. I doubt it.

I'm not sitting here taking sides on it and am happy to work with either, but pretending it didn't happen and that DPM haven't had access to a selection of JC moulds is nonsensical.

As for this new E-Jet - it'll be interesting to see what it is like. It'll be fairly obvious if it shares ancestry with the JC edition - I hope it doesn't because the JC mould isn't great. I wish them all the best for this endeavour, but two releases through a single retailer doesn't make me think they are going to conquer the globe either. @DaveSoda I doubt VH reg examples are high on the list for a store from South Carolina!

Herpa also had a E170.

It wasn’t the best although

 

[MD11ER]

Things are getting real interesting, real fast!

looks like the nose/cockpit of a 737?? As long as it’s better than Gemini’s mould i’m for it

737 and A320, it seems to me

Hopefully we get the A319 too. So many releases need to be done with it

 

[josecolme]

I feel some more B- and N releases on the way...

I doubt you will be seeing many B releasees from Legacy Jets and Final Approach if at all.

O I let my pessimistic side comment. Didn't realize they're US based. Yeah, you might be right then, probably no B- regs from them.

These may be 'all new' moulds but they are HX Models moulds aren't they? Ones HX will use too. The text is rather hyperbolic - 'next-level precision, unmatched innovation'. 'the moment the bar gets raised'

Are these really going to be better 737s than the NG, Panda or Aero Polaris moulds? Or better than the NG Models or Panda A320s?

Once again I welcome the endeavour but...

To me this screams artificial intelligence. It has a lingo to it that I can pick up pretty quickly.

I agree this is important for me, as I love E170’s. But, it’s definitely overreacting, I new mould isn’t the most significant.

No idea. Didnt you say somewhere that legacy and sq wings are made in the same factory DPM? If yes, maybe legacy actually made moulds. I dont know, wishful thinking? Anyway, waiting to see the releases though.

Care to explain? I don't get that vibe

AI by default tends to write a specific way. Some key features:
- List of threes: this, this, and that
- Dashes are used frequently
- Very positive wording and using complicated words

Now I should stress that if you see this in something, it doesn’t guarantee that it was written by AI, however the likelihood of it is higher with some of these characteristics.

The pictures of the black plane are 99% AI generated. I don’t mean to hate, but I hope this mould ist over hyped.

Why does it have to be AI? Maybe they have a graphic designer. And even if it is AI, who the heck cares. Many companies are using AI today. So what?
