New Aviation400 July/August Releases

[Battlecry]

Not necessarily. Allegedly Aviation recently updated the A343 mold, but it feels worse than the previous generation........

This doesn't look very good. It would be interesting to see detailed pictures of their old and new A330/340 mould cockpits side by side; the A330-900 ITA Airways I have has a pretty good nose shape.

That's really shocking, how did they manage to round the nose even more??
Makes sense for them to update it's been years since they last released A340s/A330CEO

On an aside I'll be sad if MADB is correct and B-HLU is in the old oneworld scheme,,,

So I make that 50 models announced by Aviation400 in July/August as follows:

17 A340-300
24 A330-300
7 777-300ER
1 A380
1 A350-1000

I can't say I've ever loved the Aviation400 A330s myself. For me it's always been the worst A330 in 400 scale

If they've modified the A340 it'll be interesting to see what its like now. I agree doesn't look promising.

I might add the price of these A330s and A340s on Taobao is less than RMB200!

On their weakest moulds! Wow.
But yeah if they're less than 200RMB on Taobao, then this is essentially JetHut / DeAgostini etc level stuff.
Though outside China they're pretty expensive - even on MHH they're at PHX level pricing

Even though the new Aviation A330/340 is priced at less than 200 yuan on Taobao, this does not mean we should accept it (just look at the HX A346 , which is sold for less than 200 yuan but is still criticized). They should also modify the mold.

I agree 100% although I've never seen the HX A340s priced below 200. The YY Wings store has them at 238.

Right. Absolutely. Avoid details.
But don't mess up the shape of the plane

TBH I'm very tempted to pick this one up, it looks really nice and comes with a stand, not to mention the bargain price.

Yeah that's the annoying thing about Taobao - because I don't buy direct through the store but use engtaobao I don't get the discounts. So 209 before discount - still cheaper though.

These LH ones do look much better than the earlier releases
