Major 1:400 scale brands ranking for ALL aircraft types - WIP

Recently took these compare and contrast of Garuda NG Vs Air India JC. You be the judge, I prefer the JC and look forward to the new rumored corrected engines from NG.

The size and shape of the engines on both models are spot-on. It is the pylon that is holding the engine too low on the NG.

Love these comparison shots of the 777. Both with some glaring issues. I however prefer AV400's most recent rendering of the 777 (2022). They have made corrections to key elements you have noted in the photos - nose, APU, tail cone and engine clearance. Where I do feel engine clearance is still an issue stemming from the incorrect shape of the pylons, the other issues seem to have been resolved.

On the 727s, I'd say GeminiJets wins on both the -200 and the -100. Don't be fooled by Aviation400's slotted wings... the shape of the tail is inaccurate (Richard explains that well in his 727 mold article) and they only released a handful of them anyway.

Aeroclassics 727-200 is alright, but their -100 is pretty crude, they get points for the unmatched offering of highly popular liveries, and in my case the huge selection of LaltinClassic 727s they have produced. Gemini's variety is not bad, and I think their 727 molds overall look better even with those ugly seams.

I will also take Dragon's 727-200 over AV400.

The only issue I have with the Aeroclassics 727-200 is the #2 engine..tailpipe and rear of the fuselage just don't look right.

Nice model! You are lucky that yours doesn’t have a smashed nose lol. Almost all of my AV400 777s have smashed noses

What software you use to make the chart/table?

Microsoft Excel, with a lot of tables and ecuations

Wow!! Thank you very much for all of your feedback, I´ve been making some minor tweaks to the tables and probably will share an update in the days to come

Yes, truly unfortunate about this issue appearing on some releases of this mould. From first glance, their Singapore and United seem to have lost in the ring. I recall Richard (YA), mentioning that there was over polishing on some moulds. It seems from that batch at least, Air Canada, and Air New Zealand came out unscathed.
