Can anyone clear up the pictures of JC's moulds on Instagram? The scales that are mentioned are very confusing. A 1:400 DC-3 the same size as an Airbus Beluga? I'm also very surprised by some of the moulds considering the very limited number of releases and obscurity. The Myasishchev VM-T for example, of which only two were built and maybe 3 or 4 possible liveries / configurations? Great to see though as more variation is always good. Can't wait for the TU-124 and AN-12 aswell.

I think that DC-3 is 200 scale but the perception makes it difficult to tell for me.

C Model also has new molds for the 787-9 and 787-10, and in fact has new molds for the a330, though they were not shown at the show due to shipping issues.

The Myasishchev VM-T for example, of which only two were built and maybe 3 or 4 possible liveries / configurations

Love this pick. One of my favourites!

Limited options shouldn't be a hurdle - isn't for the An225 for example - many collectors love the weird one offs! And those sales are much larger - each An225 release so far has sold out - and there have been 3 or 4 different manufacturer moulds thus far - iirc!

new molds for the a330

Curious choice! But welcome! There's literally only 2 good to great A330 moulds currently in production - PHX & NG respectively - which is surprising for such a popular and successful aircraft family with hundreds of livery options. Gj/JC mould I just don't count as acceptable in my view - and neither ACs outdated one.

Any photos available of the mould?

What happened to Panda’s A330 mould?

What happened to Panda’s A330 mould?

Panda themselves say it got stolen by NG… who knows what truly happened, though.

More photos from the Beijing Expo HEC. Here we have the new C Models Boeing 787 mould samples. Do we really need another 787 in 400 scale? Probably not, but what ya gonna do.
