Wow nice. Loving these release artworks - very InFlight-esque.
These show aerials - are they going to upgrade the AC Mould?
Been looking forward to the Tankers. Hopefully they'll make the 10 Tanker new scheme - especially spectacular.

No need to upgrade a mould, just drill those tiny holes and stick the aerials in.
Now if only AC had a 10-10 mould..

Awesome releases! Always good to see some DC-10s!
This is also the debut of a tanker DC-10 in 1:400, right? Herpa did it in 1:500. Their mould is a resized counterpart of the old AV400 mould.

Oh, was not expecting that RFS DC-10 Tanker, well that will be headed my way for sure.

The Air Carrier would be an interesting release

Price tag is quite steep on these...

Probably high price for the manufacturer plus shipping and fees, cost adds up for sure

If they forget to add it, I think the model will be a massive flop. Quite pointless to have it without the tank

It'll have the tank obviously. My understanding is that Aeroclassics are making the base model and then Patriot will take on the models and add the detailing and features that AC aren't able or willing to add. So to a certain degree they are reliant on Aeroclassics QC but hopefully not too much!
