They’ve already done all the major -8s, I guess there will be re-releases?

Different registrations maybe

Are we sure we're looking at 400 scale fuselages?
This looks a lot like 200 scale SQ.

Anyways, I hope they correct the v.tail as well. Generally would have been nice to get all the kinks out of their moulds before rushing all those releases to market.

That’s indeed SQ, the original post’s caption says so. HX will probably follow suit.

Hopefully artwork isn’t finalized for these, a couple of their originals had serious issues.

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.

Indeed, I would be very interested in this.

If HX does take up the Landor 747, I hope they get the British Airways font right. The BigBird version of this didn’t.

Correct, BigBird used the Chatham Dockyard font. Gemini's artwork was top notch. Here is a photo of both.

The cockpit windows are still printed at an angle and the landing gear strut is too short. Nose is still too blunt, but that's a harder fix. Ironically, from the side profile, the Phoenix A340 looks more accurate with its cockpit printing, nosegear height, and more pointed nose cone.

If HX can at least fix the cockpit and nosegear size & strut length, it would make their samples that much better. I'd look forward to Virgin Atlantic Airways, Qatar Airways, Air Canada and Singapore Airlines on their -600 and -500 moulds if they can make these small corrections.

Are there updated MD-11 mould images?

Also, the new set of Qantas Balarinji 747s - will these be on the updated 747 mould?

The Qantas 747-300 is a “normal” 747-300 which has 747classic style wing joint and the model has correct wingspan

The artwork colours really pop!
The cockpit printing looks wonky though?

Did they reduce the wingspan to more accurately represent a 747-300 or is this still the 747-400 wing?

That only applies to -400Ds and the -300s with the new wing to body joint.

Will definitely be picking up both of these! The China Eastern looks great. Cockpit window size looks better than on the Shanghai and China airlines
