Another big pickup for me - United 747-400 N177UA by Apollo.

I was lucky to catch a few of United's jumbos in their final year of flying, so this one has been high on my wishlist for a while.

Even with newer 747 molds from NG and HX, the Big Bird mold used on this release still holds up remarkably well - arguably even better in aspects such as the nose. Slap on a few aerials and finer printing, and you’d be hard-pressed to guess whether it was released in 2014 or 2024.

PS: Props to Witty/Apollo for including stands, makes those “in-flight” shots much easier

It's a great model for sure. The nose section looks great. The cradle wings, gears and engines sadly show their age, specially when compared to the newer models of HX and NG

I consider this a masterpiece of beauty. A pity living on the other side of the planet and never having the possibility to spot her...Gemini Thai Smile A320WL HS-TXQ.

Giving retro aviation a try with these pickups from the model selection at the Eugene Air and Space Museum. Each of these was a crazy 15$.

Next set of arrivals, which includes my first two models from Aeropolaris. Took me a while to find one of the ANA models because of how fast they sold (I managed to order the second ANA model from a site after they announced a restock). Overall, the Aeropolaris models look fantastic!

Jealous of that ANA… might have to find one for myself here soon

It was a bit difficult for me to find one because most of the retail sites that carry Aeropolaris were sold out. And some of the ones that do carry them were mad expensive (almost $60 USD)

A lot of Aeropolaris retailers I saw only got the United, not the ANA… makes Japanese collecting hard

I can’t get over how good this @3D Design Deck Air Tran CRJ-200 is. Miles better then the Gemini mould, simply amazing!

NG’s Singapore A350-900, 9V-SJI. Finally an SQ 350 I’m happy with, the others from NG and Panda all had some small annoying quirks.

Spring Airlines Japan B737-800WL JA03GR by Phoenix.
Believe me: i really did not know to have this model in my collection!!!
Spring Airlines Japan is a subsidiary of Shanghai based low cost Spring Airlines and has a fleet of b737-800Wl and A321P2F (while Spring Airlines has a fleet based on A320 family).

It landed this evening and has finally arrived in the hangar of my collection — this stunning aircraft! The packaging is minimalist yet incredibly elegant. I own model number 003 out of only 155 produced, and I’m absolutely thrilled to add it to my collection. It will sit perfectly alongside the Phoenix 742, completing my full Unitop Airlines aircraft lineup.

It's good to see that Phoenix have updated their landing gears for the 737 and A320 series. Now they look much better!
