One of the key areas of Yesterday's Airlines are the mould reviews. These are not detailed descriptions or ratings of the moulds (that's covered in other sections) but are a central place to understand the status of individual aircraft types in 400 scale:
My latest review covers the Boeing 717, a type that rather fell between the cracks of the MDD and Boeing merger and didn't really get the opportunity it deserved. In 400 scale it has had more moulds than I thought it had but the usage of them is a little complicated thanks to the changing relationship between Phoenix and Gemini. Coverage has not been great, with just over 40 models made including a lot of duplication, but the moulds exist to fix that if manufacturers want to:
- How many models have been made
- The chronology of moulds
- Brief description of the mould characteristics
- Photographs showing the moulds
- Links to other collateral like wishlists, detailed reviews, mould comparison ratings
