They have Patriot, have not seen them list HX.

I got them mixed up I apologize.

Great to hear @Jim.
Concerning the JT9Ds on your 747-100/200s, I wish you'd do a bit less "overengineering" (gimmicks) but go for scale accuracy instead.
Currently HX model the engine with a seperate insert cast for the inlet/intake lip which inevitably creates a WAY too thick lip. Any chance you cast the intake and fan cowl as a single part and have the fan inserted from from the aft? And make sure you position it farther aft. It sits too far front in both your 200 and 400 scale versions.
I'm not asking for the correct number of 46 fan blades, but a bit more than just the current 16 would be great.
Here's a pic of an early JT9D nacelle. The lady is perfect to showcase how thin the intake lip was on the early nacelle.

we expect to complete the development of the 707 and 727 moulds,

This is particularly great news!!
May I ask which 707 variant you're working on? -120/120B/320/420 would be awesome!

have the fan inserted from from the aft

Screw that idea, should have checked before typing. Not possible.
Then do it just like Hasegawa did.

Where to buy HX Models in EU?

Seems nearly impossible!

Those are unfinished planes?

Yes, these are photos taken during the production/assembly process

 

[Jim]

We also need 731 and 732 moulds.

Rest assured, we are gradually refining the mould. The moulds for the 731 and 732 are expected to be completed by February next year.

 

[Jim]

Thanks @Jim for getting back to us. We have a lot of expectations from HX!

Please have a look at the A340 front section and the cockpit printing. Needs improvement.

The cockpit of the first A340-600 was indeed not well done, but we’ve already made corrections with the help of many collectors.

 

[Jim]

is the 747sp mould already aviliable?

The 747SP mould is not yet ready for production, as we need to complete other moulds first. The 747SP still has to go through part of the manufacturing process before it can be used.

 

[Jim]

Where is the best place to buy these for shipment to the US? Obviously tariff chaos is making it difficult

We are working hard to expand into the U.S. market. We believe things will gradually become easier, but we still need some time.

 

[Jim]

They have Patriot, have not seen them list HX.

HX’s products will be launched soon. Previously, we focused mainly on custom orders for clients, but now our production capacity is strong enough to also support our own brand.

Thank you once again, Phantom, for your valuable correction. I’ve already passed your feedback regarding our 747 engine to our engineers. Once again, we truly appreciate it — your professionalism helps us quickly identify where the problems are.

And the in the Northwest colors! This would be an amazing set to have all four! Boeing Prototype, NWA Bowling Shoe, NWA final livery, Delta livery that it now wears at the Delta Museum in Atlanta!

@Jim

See N661US formerly N401PW from inception to retirement in images below where it sits today at the Delta Museum in Atlanta.

This would make an amazing set to go along the Patriot N401PW release.

N661US formerly N401PW was also involved in air disaster Flight 85 from DTW-NRT.

Check out previous replies on this thread. If you're based in the US, I believe the best place is MyHobbyHouse website

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

What are all the forthcoming HX 747s?
Is there a list somewhere or some store that has them all on pre-order or something?
It's a bit confusing with HX and Patriot

Am I wrong that HX and Patriot are the same company under two different brands? Or do they just share molds?

Patriot is a different company, and have used HX moulds for some of their releases.

I see both brands being discussed on here and its confusing hahahaha.
