Other news is interesting, but I can't hide my joy at the release of the Panda model's Finnair OH-LWA.

I'm praying for the OH-LWA to be a general release, it's been so hard to get my hands on a Finnair A350 from NG with the full Finnair titles. I wonder if they'd release one without the Santa Claus sticker though.Other news is interesting, but I can't hide my joy at the release of the Panda model's Finnair OH-LWA.
