Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

It doesn't make a difference for the collector. Some elements of these HX/SQ models repeat pretty distinct errors done before no matter what we call it.

I agree!

Somewhere on this thread, I remember it said that the 5th engine on the Longreach model would be detachable. Is that still the case?

It’s very likely. I remembered the Sample’s engine on Shanghai Exhibition was detachable.

Just asking but what is the point of a model being gold plated? Does it make it rarer?

These are typically made in very small numbers for friends and family. Some Chinese brands have something of a fixation on these. NetModels and BlueBox in the old days for example. Nowadays Aviation400 and HX seem too.

I hope this means we are one step closer to a China Airlines standard livery 747. Make my day by making it a 90s scheme without the Skyteam logo for the Kai Tak portion of my collection.
...

Oh, and a China Airlines 747-200 while we're at it

Does anyone with knowledge have an idea when the Cathay Pacific 'The Spirit of Hong Kong 97' 747-200 will be released? Surely, they have to be ready soon considering when the production pictures months back were first shared.

Lovely!!! Blue a bit too light but maybe that's the light/editing on these pictures?
Qantas B743 Nalanji Dreaming also had this same issue, but I want to believe it's just the light or photo editing.

Just the photo problem

This is one of my favorite threads here. I'm always eager to see HX dropping more interesting birds

Definitely seems like a cultural thing.

Someone said some British Airways Landor were going to show up here soon, no? I think it's a no-brainer, especially if we use the Pan Am set as a predictor.

Well, I have to prepare my wallet, because if it turns out looking good, I might take one for me
