This is my first Phoenix model and also the fourth aircraft in my Soviet/Russian collection. The livery is classic and the mould itself is quite good. However, the engine installation doesn’t seem very precise, leaving some visible gaps.View attachment 65866View attachment 65867View attachment 65868

amongst my all-time fav aircraft-livery combos!

UPS came knocking, as well as a local friend all within a few hours of eachother. 4 new models for the collection!

First up from JetCollector, My recent CRP model, the NG Lite 747-100. This one came with a broken wingtip probe, they differ in lengths just a tad and it honestly doesn’t bother me, you can hardly tell even in my photos. The fuselage finish is a bit odd and not quite smooth, but the build of the thing is pretty nice! I’m happy enough for a “free” model.

Next up is the recently released British Airways A350-1000. This is now the biggest and longest plane in my collection, as well as my first A350! a great model that will definitely come in handy for model airports.

These last two were dropped off by a local friend who was getting rid of some models, thankfully some I really needed! Outside of them being stupid dusty and a few gently loose wing parts, they’re welcome additions to the collection!

Why we haven’t gotten another U.S. Airways A321 with fenced wingtips is beyond me….

Outside of the Aeroclassics navy liveries from 2017-2019, there wasn’t a navy before that… mind blowing to me that those were the first navy Airbus’s in scale. Hopefully the wishes on NG get more traction. Maybe Gemini will hit them soon too although idk if I want the CFMs from them

My issue with PHX IL-96 are the winglets... their angle is quite wrong, they should be more tilted
