Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

[Hnlspotter]

I'd love to see a United Airlines Battleship Grey done on the HX 747-400 mould, assuming they can get the shade of grey right. A Northwest bowling shoe would be a welcome release, too.

Off topic slightly but I’d like to chip in and say it would be amazing to see a twin stripes 741 properly done in 1/400 since I don’t want to pay a heavy price for the crappy pheonix one and the fact twin stripes rarely ever been done in 1/400, it would be a quick seller also but it would also be amazing to see more retro American 747-100-200 family be done

more ... 747-100-200 family be done

I'd so love to get early 747s. But unless HX does at least the easy fixes to their moulds these will be no deals for me.
Any news on NG's 747Classic btw? Or was it officially decleared dead already?

Interesting unknown release.

Nose could be slightly more pointy, but I like the whole shape. Much better than AC!!

Is this 1:400 or 1:200 scale? I ask because I haven't seen these announced anywhere but see 1:200 SQ Wings IL-76s announced for preorder at several retailers.

It's 400. It is the first release on the new mould. Here it is on the YY Wings taobao store:

I agree especially for the A340-500/600. The nose shape, nosegear height and size of the cockpit windows needs to be fixed on these.

Very excited for this il-76! Mould looks like an marked improvement to what is out there. Hopefully potential for many an addition to my 1986 European diorama.
Aeroflot, Iraqi Airways, Libyan Arab Airlines, Syrian Air in their original schemes would be beautiful.

Yes! Actually Aeroflot basic colors would open up a whole possibility of obscure ex-URSS carriers, made as custom models!

If I could chip in again it would be amazing too see current or modern Russian or Ukrainian airforce schemes remade since the older releases are stupidly priced and rare, this is not meant to be political I just like Russians airforce models

I agree with you!

We can definitely expect to see a Volga-Dneper example scaled down from 1/200 within the next few months as well, that is one I am really looking forward to!

I really wish they’d update the length of those pylons on the 1 and 2 engines

No difference to all other HX 744s though.

 

[YesterAirlines]

Indeed I don't see anything very different to other HX 747-400s, which have all been fine (aside from some cockpit print). If we're having to guess what the issue @miaoyimiaozhongl is talking about then it can't be particularly bad can it?

I don't see any hump issues.
