Moulds that you would like to see upgraded.

You can probably guess from my username what would get my vote, but yeah I would love a new 727 mold that's up to 2023 standards. New DC-9 or MD-80 would be welcome as well.

Most definitely. I would welcome new DC-9 moulds too...every series. 10/20/20/40/50.

Really? Isn't NG or Panda, for example, good enough?

Mostly Gemini, Panda and NG rarely make the models I need.

They all make some very fine models. I also have a lot of AC in my collection, but almost everything could use an upgrade...other than the A320 series...just my humble opinion.

yeah but that's not an issue with their A320 moulds, they just don't release the liveries you would like to see...

Unfortunately a very common issue with NG...

I second that! The GJ An-124 is crap! It looks terrible.
Herpa's version is actually very nice, but we all know that Herpa's presence in 1:400 scale is minimal.
So, it would be indeed very nice if we had a new An-124.

actually not that many of you may have noticed, there is one Bluewings making new an-124 interactive version recently. it's the same factory who makes the interactive an-225 last year. Overall i felt it's much better than GJ, although some details like fan blades and gears need to be improved.

Indeed better than the GJ version, but still not so good. The engines look quite weird and maybe oversized.

I have the Volga Dnepr model and I'm preparing a comparation between gj/blue wings/YRD (I have no a model from herpa unluckly) but it's sooooo much better than the GJ. Another category at all

i dont have GJ but from various pictures on 2nd hand market can already tell how i dont want them. Herpa seems decent despite the rarity. i used to have the YRD an-225, it's ok for plastic and its price but i wont recommend if anyone wants to get one. looking forward to your detailed review!

DC-9/ MD-80s. If I have to choose one family, I choose one of the largest.

 

[Mark22]

B707-100/200/400
B720
B747-100/200/300
DC-9-10 series
MD-80's
L-049/649/749/1049 (I'm sure there are plenty that haven't been made)

I would also add the 747-400 as JC is not using their mould enough and because of GJ it will take forever to see the liveries we want.

Whilst the NG and panda one are very good, they don't get used. JC and Gemini make some fairly interesting models but that mould is hideous so it definitely needs replacing.

Here are some new Panda Models pre-orders.

That Allegiant Las Vegas Raiders A319 looks interesting....and it's on my wish list.
