I'm interest in the Lufthansa A340-642 D-AIHF.

This one caught my attention from ezToys' newsletter email. I couldn't find it in the above table so I attached an image below.

This one is from the November release. Stil looks good though.

 

[B767Avia]

Oh, interesting. I wonder why they put it in the same email

I don't know. I missed them from that set as well, someone told me about them later.

Will get all the 340s again. I'm hoping since Phoenix are releasing lots of A340's recently, that a Etihad 340-5/600 won't be too far away...

An Etihad A345 and 6 would be an instant buy for me. And also an Emirates A345, though I doubt that will happen outside of GJ. A standard SQ A345 would be an instant buy too!

Nothing for me from this set

Phoenix has so many interesting releases, I'm always tempted to pick one up for the first time.

Yes, I'm waiting for this one. A must-have for me.

They are worth it. Just check the box for QC before buying. Also, they are generally cheaper than other brands, at least down here.

Phoenix gonna make me broke. 2 consecutive releases (last month and this month) made me pick 2 models each! My long-required Kuwait A338 is now here. The Greenland scheme makes me wanna get it.

How is the Phoenix A-330 Neo mould? The Air Greenland has my interest for sure

Excellent! Slightly inferior to the JC in some areas, but superior in others. See Richard’s review for a great analysis: https://www.yesterdaysairlines.com/a330neo-detailed-comparison.html

 

[Steinar]

Even if I'm trying to hold back a bit, two are in my criteria. Lufthansa A340-600 (D-AIHF) is a must since I've flown on it (October 31 HKG-MUC) and Air Greenland new A330 since it is an OY release.

I agree with your reference. Though I would prefer JC's A330neo more than PHX but only PHX does the A338. At least PHX has done 2 of the best liveries on the aircraft. Air Uganda is also nice if it is released.

 

[pons399]

Speaking of 330neos, I'm interested to see how the AV400 turns out. Quite happy with the JC/GJ, but I may get a Garuda if AV400 nails the wing angle.

 

[Purpleplane]

Nothing for me this time, but it does look like a nice set of releases.

I do prefer JC's too, but as you said, only Phoenix has the -800. I hope we see AV400 come out with both members of the family, so I can eventually replace my PH ones from this release that I have on order.
