Panda Models' Latest Mould Samples

[VDH.FliesOut]

My Hobby House recently posted on their Facebook page of Panda Models' latest mould samples. These are the A350-900 & -1000, and MD-11

These are some sample photos. There are more on the Facebook post below

Hope they use these actively and widely!
The MD-11s already looking fabulous - though in fine detail, the experts may have a more nuanced and informed view
Can't wait for these!

The sample with GE engines seem to have a broken tail above the #2 engine exhaust?! Anyway, they look gorgeous!
Let's see how competitive they'll be next to Phoenix MD-11 with an adjusted nose gear height. I guess Panda will have a better offering, but how about the livery choices? Time will tell

350 sharklets look pretty good, though it's hard to tell. I'd like to see 9V-SHR

Panda have said they will send me the samples but they don't have the plastic blister packaging ready, which presumably is why even the MHH samples here are broken in various places

Curious to see these 11s from better angles. My eyes keep telling me there's something off with these wings but I can't put my finger on it. Chord or just the images?

Panda just announced their May releases with the release of 2 A350’s :

China Southern Airlines Airbus A350-900 XWB B-32FR​

Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900(ULR) XWB 9V-SGG​

Also a couple of NOK Air 737’s, a GOL 737 and a Qantas 737 with split scimitar winglets.

Finally some good stuff, I believe this is the first 1:400 SQ 350 with the new sharklets. Mould looks really promising as well.

Friendship ended with NG (a long time ago), I'm jumping ship to Panda

Thanks @LeoMuse747 !
Panda always throws in a great set - no matter how small - though I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever see a Tu 134 again! It's strange for them not to use it given their earlier successes.

This QF 738 has been long time coming - not too big a fan of the current Silver Roo - and it's nice to see a 'classic' 738 in the Gol.

Additionally, Nokollectors will be happy hehe! They've been getting a lot of attention lately.

My eyes are on the 2 A359s and the QF
And surprised that NG themselves never released a CZ 359.
I have an early Av400 version - and I'd really like one with the updated winglets (?) - same for the SQ.

I'll be grabbing a few of these!


Hopefully they release one in the latest livery once Qantas fits the scimitars to an aircraft wearing it.

Windowline's high and nose is too blunt, it seems...

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

That nose is unfortunate

 

[Unboxing Aviation]

This mold looks fantastic! It’s like the NG mold with upgraded winglets, and I’m thrilled to get mine!

 

[ChairFlyer101]

Windowline's high and nose is too blunt, it seems...

Agreed. Seems too blunt and kind of reminds me of the NG nose in a way. Although windowline doesn’t seem too bad from the side pictures. Could be the camera angle.

 

[Unboxing Aviation]

It looks like the Panda model produced around 250 or fewer of these Singapore A350s, as they sold out incredibly quickly!

 

[ChairFlyer101]

The photo from Waffle really makes it seem like it’s an NG fuselage.

Huh, nose and windowline look much better here. It's hard to tell with these unless you have the thing in-hand.
