These are my first models from 2024, arriving over the past two months. Mostly excellent, and a few are going to be sent off to the custom workshop.

- AV400 United 77W
- GJ EK A380
- NG Jetstar A320 x3
- NG Jetstar A321LR
- NG Qantas Freight A332
- Panda Virgin Aus 738
- JC Qantas A332 “Pride is in the air”
- PH Qantas 737-800

This is funnily enough my first JC A330 - And yes it is as bad as it’s reputation 🥲 Oh well, it was dirt-cheap and it’s off to the custom workshop for a fresh set of paint.

Here’s a little extra: Try and guess the 3D-printed airport in the background. (Hint: it’s in NZ)

Nice set!
Is that ZQN? Kinda looked familiar.
 
The model that I have been promising you all for a long time has finally arrived in my collection after more than a month of waiting. Introducing the Flying Eye Hospital - ORBIS MD-10-30 N330AU made by GeminiJets. It came without its original outer sleeve, which is kinda a shame but it was fine to me. I will feature this model in a separate review (I still need to do the LH Herpa first).

Yes actually, this model is really difficult to come by. Iirc up till now there is only one ever listed on eBay, which an UK collector got it. The other time I saw this model on social media was on FB by a US collector.

I agree absolutely. The TAB Cargo stands high on my wishlist and I hope to see some manufacturer make it before its life is ended.

I am trying to utilize my time here in Vietnam for a bit and purchase the models I really liked! Fortunately I think I have completed my wishlist of older release models and I need to add new releases one.
 
5 from Jet Collector arrived this morning into the UK. 2 new types into my collection, first the Vickers Viscount G-AMON in BOAC livery and the 2nd new type is G-AVOE, a BAC 1-11 in Cambrian Airways livery with British Airways titles. Believe Cambrian Airways were a Welsh airline that BA purchased in the 1970’s but I could be wrong. Other 3 are the Landor 737-200 G-BKYD, 707 G-AWHU with BOAC colours and the final addition is G-ASZF, British Airways Cargo 707F! Models 217, 218, 219, 220 and 221, all from Aeroclassics.

I haven't bought any Dragon Wings for a while but today I got the JAA 747-300 JA8189 for a very low price. The cockpit printing is not as good as on the Swissair one I have to say. Having said that I still like the DW 747-300
