It's available on AC direct and a couple on Jetcollector. Haven't seen this elsewhere

But we know about the quality of that one .......
Poor printing details - gear doors / engine cowlings
Incorrect gear lengths (fuselage is at level and not nose down)
no aerials etc
Fuselage /overpolished nose etc

I consciously didn't get it, just like I'm sure many wouldn't have . And I have the GJ one but those gears are embarrassing - a PH o/c version is desperately needed.
And of course, an o/c IB A346

I have both GJ and AC. My AC is fine. It'd be more beneficial to get the actual A343 delivery c/s, black radome, no OW logos...

They need to change the reg. on the Avianca. It is the same as the old GJ. @DTcustoms

Edit: I guess not, disregard. Did they really only have one -300?? @LeoMuse747 now I might start thinking about a replacement program . I could have sworn they had more than one -300. They were a relatively large 767 operator in South America.

I was shocked when realizing this was the only reg that had that livery

Yep that's the one I'd want - black radome et al

The AC is 'fine' but not great as I mentioned.
I have the GJ one which is 'fine' too,but an embarrassment when it sits on the shelf. A dachshund.

None come close to a PH A343 though - and thus, hello PH we need 'em IB d/c & o/c 343s & 346s

Well, now i'm surprised too. It seems N984AN was indeed their sole B767-300ER in the 1990s...

Have never purchased a model from Pheonix. Indeed, they have come out with some really interesting subjects recently, especially the 343s, and 763s.. But I am still not won over, considering their price point, a tendency for QC issues, and what the competition is bringing to the table.

I am hoping that we see these from NG... soon. Smart money is telling me to hold off... Although their Air Lanka 343 would look lovely beside her NG Tristar compatriot.

Abraços, S

Honestly I had never a ph model with control quality issue, and their 767 mould for me are the best one (and also their il-96)

The reg of the ABC IL-96-400T is wrong by the way. It should be RA-96103, not 96013.

Just wanted to get some clarification regarding this batch, is it a different set from the ones announced on social media from February 26? I know they’re slow to post new models on social media…

Yes it is. Usually they announce their release later on social media.

Got it, thanks for the help!
