New Aeroclassics are live

Prices for these are getting completely out of hand. the Eastern and Delta 10's are at €70 at Aviation Megastore....
This hobby is for rich people only....
That's crazy.
I picked up the DL DC-10 from AvMgS - overseas, so no VAT, but it's still 53.68€.

With this, I have now bought a total of 7 from the Feb Aeroclassics batch - the most ACs in a month in the longest time. I resisted the Eastern, as I already own the old GJ version.

Looking forward to their arrival home!

Some really nice releases in this batch. I've got four incoming myself, but...

Cockpit printing on the DC-10s isn't great, and it seems they are constantly taking the cheaper metallic paint option rather than the more expensive polished version. I've got the older version of the Eastern and it looks a lot better

I guess you are talking about the tail? The body is bare metal. The bellies of the others are metallic too.

Yes mostly the tail. The grey paint doesn't do it for me

It is silver paint. You can see other areas where grey paint is used. Bare metal does look better. I can't tell if it is polishing or electroplating. Thankfully, only a small element is painted, as the model's overall look is still nice, even though your version is definitely better.

Yeah sorry I meant silver. They've been doing this for a while with their DC-10s now. Definitely not ideal
