Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

[YesterAirlines]

This may look like just another Air China A319 but there are a couple of interesting things about it. A) it is the first IAE powered Air China A319 in 400 scale and B) it is the first release from the new brand 'Undefined Collectibles' . Uses the Panda mould and comes with a card collectors card.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you. Us BA collectors need to look after each other!

Thank you mate, let me know if theres anything you are looking for aswell

Some new arrivals to me, each comes separately. I'd start with the lesser interesting model.

Air China B777-39L/ER B-2039 "Smiling China" by JCWings. This one was made in 2013 and using a slot-in wings. I and Richard had a small talk and we thought that the fuselage (and likely the wings as well) was a basis for the current mould. The wings on this model weren't slotted in correctly, thus making them point upwards. The landing gears were also too high.

A model of my childhood, which I sadly broke due to young age carelessness. It might not be the most outstanding one in terms of quality though. Introducing Singapore Airlines B747-412 9V-SPG by Herpa, which was offered as inflight sales as well.


When mentioning EK 1:400, most models are made by GJs due to licensing issue. But earlier, EK was also made by DW, AC and now AV400. Here is a less-known example made by Phoenix for Dr Peters Leasing company - Emirates B777-300ER without registration. This model also came with a stand branded of the lessor.


The smallest model of the bunch and also a quad-turboprop. This is a lucky win for me - CSA Ilyushin IL-18 OK-PAE by AC. What a little gem in my collection.


Lastly, a group photo. A "bigger" model from afar was listed as Phoenix 1:400 - I don't believe that so I got it. As it didn't have original box or cradle, the gears were badly bent as well. Can you guess the special feature of that model?


That concludes today's post. Which model is your personal highlight?

It would be nice if they could do the US Airways Pittsburgh Steelers or Carolina Panthers A319s...

 

[Purpleplane]

Just arrived...Aeroclassics Republic DC-9-32 N926RC in the "Mary Tyler Moore" scheme. Thank you Andrew, one more that I can cross off of my wish list:


One more arrival, this one will be another donor for a custom model: Aeroclassics Heavy Lift Cargo 707-351C N2215Y: Stay tuned to see what this one will be converted to.

Couple of new arrivals. Both JC Wings 747. Pretty happy with them both, despite the slight bubbling on the wings of the China Airlines 747.

Finally bag this airline into my collection, though not in the mould I wish
Phoenix B747-400 British Asia Airways G-CIVE

Shots in a few different angles

Comparison with Inflight400 742 G-BDXI in standard Landor livery

Should have get the BB 744 G-BNLC for a more "Apple-to-Apple" comparison but I seem to have put it in a place that I can't access conveniently so...

P.s. it seems like I am having some luck on picking thes XX Asia lately Maybe my next purchase would be KLM Asia or JAA

I had one of those Phoenix 200 scale 154s briefly. The flaps move don't they?

These both look fabulous. I'd forgotten about that CX Cargo 747. I might have to try and find one myself.

Yes they are and it is such a nice add-on to the model!

My China Airlines also arrived with bubbling... Pity , since the model, and livery are quite nice.

Yes. Quite common with a lot of recent JC Wings 747 releases unfortunately.

 

[OscarBravo992]

Yes. Quite common with a lot of recent JC Wings 747 releases unfortunately.

Yeah... I had a blank 744 with issues.

Yeah
My copy of the Saul Bass and the 2nd AI have it - on top of the wing. The JAL cigarette has it below the wings

Just received mine's CX interactive B744F
JC Wings Cathay Pacific Cargo B747-400F B-HUO
(Interactive)

Sitting alongside another CX interactive in my fleet - the Hong Kong Trader B-LJA

The hump issue on JC's 748F are awfully obvious - pretty sad

From the box it seems like JC are planning to release a non-interactive version of B-HUO?

This model was not a purchase, but another one given to me by a friend of mine, it is an older one that he didn't need anymore so he gave it to me. The nose tires are missing and the gear is slightly bent but I can likely fix it. Anyways, the model is B-LJN, PHX 747-8 (Cathay Pacific Cargo)

I will post more photos later once I fix the gear
