Most Needed Moulds

[pons399]

It seems like NG is bringing a set of new mould samples to the Airliners International convention. Personally hoping for a 753 or an A33N. Excited to see what they will turn out to be.

It does. 747 Classics are the most likely IMO. Hopefully an updated version of the -8 as well. Will anyone here be attending?

Will anyone here be attending?

Unfortunately not. I'll be 14 thousand kilometres away, in rainy Melbourne. Hopefully the samples NG mentioned are new moulds and are not just a chance for people to see the 747-8 and 757 (1:200) moulds in the flesh.

Well, we better scour the FB groups then. I'd be happy if they were updated -8s, but hopefully it's really something "new." A 1:200 wouldn't be out of the question.

If it’s a 747 classic, I will be so happy!!

Unfortunately I am not able to but I know people who are attending. Looking forward to hearing from them soon.

I hope that one of them is a classics 747

I still think the DC-9-10 series is desperately needed... The only moulds are the Aeroclassics with the screw in wing cradle, not good at all ..too out of date. Then the Jet-X mould, which is acceptable but hasn't been used for over 14 years...time for a new and improved one

That AC mold was unacceptable even when it was new!

If they decided to announce a new A220 mould (this seems likely to me) then I'll be a bit sad.

I think Airbus has been pretty well covered in 1/400th...especially the narrow bodies..(with the exception of the A318). Time to bring out some more much-needed classics like the 747-100 & 747-200, DC-9-10 series. Even a new 727-100 and 727-200 mould would be most welcome, as well as an MD-80.

 

[pons399]

More "contemporary classics" like the A300 would be nice as well.

 

[SWISS A340]

I would like a Ng models A330-800/900 neo, a condor release with the right colour would be nice. The A300 and A310 need to be remade and the An-12 would be nice I would do anything for a Cavok air example.

747-100 & 747-200, DC-9-10 series. Even a new 727-100 and 727-200 mould would be most welcome, as well as an MD-80.

This exactly. Add the 707-120/320/420 and we have a list.
Though I guess I much rather win the lottery and have them done instead of waiting for Panda, NG or whatever quality manufacturer.

AV400 is already making those, and they're almost on par with NG.

How about a 737-100? Nobody has ever done one in Continental or People Express...

Yes, I would love a new 707...all series of them. I'm with you, if I had the resources, I would prefer to have them done. Who knows if or when anyone will get around to doing them?

Not sure how feasible a 737-100 would be since only 30 of them were built...but yes, there's Continental, People Express...America West, Air California, Air Florida....and of course, Lufthansa...the launch customer..

Well, GJ did just do a 767-400...

If I won the lottery, this hobby would have a new preferred source for classic workhorses from 1972 through 2000.

Yep, that's true. Only 34 were built...and there are many more livery options for the 737-100.

I'm hoping for a mould that AC retired long ago, like one of the British Aircraft (VC-10, Vanguard etc.), DC-9-10, Connies, 707-100 etc.
