Yes I noticed that too. Wonder if they'll fix that.

Yeah
Ron Allen (whenever they make one) and the DL current scheme is what I'd like. GJs lazy 764 mould is so off-limits for me.
Dilemma - pick this one up, or wait for an NG one. PMs nose is too blunt, barring that, everything else looks fabulous?

Where did you guys see all those issues on the Panda? All I see so far is some blurry pixels.

The slight, ermm, stubby nose is noticeable in that WestMainToys Pic

Safe to say that these make the GJ version look like a 1990s Schabak!

I'm not sure, but I guess they'll be out soon.
The Delta and UA Star Alliance are currently on Pre-Order at Bedfordshire:
You searched for 767-400 - Bedfordshire Diecast
www.bedfordshirediecast.co.uk
however, both listed as "Pre-order due January 2024"... and we're in March already...

Panda are saying they will be sent out in the next few weeks. I might be able to get one for review before then. Hard to say.
Next few weeks turns into a few months then we're at the 2 year mark..

Panda have come through. I had to pay postage but they sent me one of the 767-400s. Coming tomorrow only at Yesterday's Airlines:
Must be nice to get free models.

Yeah it is quite nice, but it wasn't free because the postage was $40 so about the same price as the model would have been if I'd have sat on my bum and waited for it to be sold at retail. But I wouldn't have bought it because I have absolutely zero need to own it in my collection, so you could say I selflessly spent $40 just so I can review it for the likes of collectors everywhere.
However equally you could also say that considering the enormous amount of effort I put into Yesterday's Airlines and the service that I provide to collectors and manufacturers, that both improves and enriches 400 scale with a capability and quality that literally nobody else provides anywhere in the world, that I don't get anywhere near enough free models
or I might add donations.Or you could say I have an ego and do all of this just to blow my own horn with biased reviews bought and paid for by bottomfeeders. It is up to you to make your own choice I guess.

I say @YesterAirlines earned it to be honest. He’s been in this hobby for years and has built up a following along with a website. He reviews models and in return has earned respect from manufacturers to get samples to be reviewed! As simple as that
