It's been almost two weeks since I wrote a model review so I thought I better slip one in at the end of this week.

There's been a lot of talk about diversity recently, much of it in my opinion spurious, but there's no denying the number one major brand for diversity in 400 scale over the past few years. Phoenix have been making a better range of airlines for a wider geographic region than anyone in the big 4. It's just a shame that their mould catalogue is often rather outdated. Nonetheless, for the right subject a lot of the mould weaknesses can be forgiven, especially when you know you're never likely to see the model released by anyone else:

Indeed, however I find their design around the wingroot to be quite rudimentary, and sadly appears across all their models. An unfortunate dealbreaker for me.

Suely PM or NG will release her in the true splendour she deserves.

If I had to guess I'd give it a 10% chance of this being released again within a decade. I don't see Panda making it. In 2025 they've made only 12 models under their own brand. Almost their entire business is making models for others and I don't see a retailer or Chinese sub-brand asking for this. An NG wish maybe a possibility, but not NG on their own.
