Pandamodel New Products Preview 1/400

Other news to be verified is that Panda Models seems to be interested in restarting the manufacture of models of the A330 and A340.
Personally, I'm still looking forward to this coming true, after all, PM's recent A350 767 series has been quite successful so far. It's just that being an OEM, it's a bit of a rush job in terms of fit and finish quality.:mad:
 
The A321neo was delivered without the WiFi dome and there are photos of it showing as such so technically NG wasn’t incorrect given that they were likely already making the models before it got installed in ATL.
Same with the A350 I believe. Early photos show it without a wifi dome, which is why it's understandable NG would've started making them without. Although it was implied they'd get the wifi domes given all the older regs of those types have one, and a quick cross-check with the older regs could've prevented this.

What I don't get, though, is that despite people pointed it out for both, they added it to the A350 last-minute but didn't seem to touch the A321. Perhaps they didn't produce both simultaneously and only the A350 had the window to make changes.

This is one of those things I’m willing to accept because whatever issues the models have without the WiFi domes it’s not wrong just not ideal.. They are still better than the Gemini versions that got both WiFi domes correct.

Yep, knowing that this was a valid config even for a brief period makes it less serious of an issue compared to other parts of the model.
