Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

[josecolme]

I received today a model I have been wanting in 1/400 for so long!

It is this beautiful LACSA A320 made exclusively for my local retailer "La Tienda de Aviación" in Costa Rica, but can be also pre-ordered from El Aviador Models in the US (just in case anyone is interested). It is branded under AvGeek Models but the mould is by Panda.

N484GX was the fourth A320 to join LACSA's fleet in 1991, making Costa Rica's flag carrier the first airline in Latin America to operate the A320. Just sharing a little bit of our aviation history.

Two quick snaps of NG's new 80s
The nose isn't 100% there, still an impressive mould. Love that blank a lot more than the AA to be honest. Waiting for Aero Lloyd...

The "classic" tail is a lot more to my liking.

These MD-80s look wonderful. I'd like to have an Air Aruba or ALM, but I don't expect to see these being made at all. Custom is the way to go!

Just wait until I get a few of those. They'll join the fleet.

Side on of the blank MD-81. I really like this. So strange they usually hit the shapes of the narrow bodies but miss it on the 747

Chrome/polished models beg to be taken outside. So here's a shot of the AA under natural light

Condor has the most amazing livery. When I first saw it it was like WTF?? Now I really start to love it.
Sadly only have space for this one. Can't wait for NG to do the 339 and 320N!

Awesome you've received this already !

I was super excited when I saw this on El Aviador's IG stories few days ago - a model that I too have been waiting for long!
I'm hoping that, just like the Transbrasil 734, the AR 73G Retro, and the VTjets A320s, this too will pop up on one of my regular stores soon

Nice! Glad to hear that you've been waiting for it too!
Hope you get yours soon!

Nice classic A320! Must be a nice companion model to the earlier B737-200 also released by El Aviador

And the B727 too! I decided not to get those two because of the moulds (not of my liking). The B727 had the blue cheatline and chrome belly.

Gotta go pick up mine

Go for it! It's such a stunning model.

Does this have the correct reg on the other (starboard) side as well? Wondering if they fixed the issue already or it was just a small batch that was affected.

Sounds good. Just heard from my retailer that mine is arriving today.

NG's Delta A330-900 (N405DX). Mould is great as expected, no issues with the rego. Seems like a relatively small batch was affected.


This is well outside my criteria, but I did "photograph" 405DX during my first spotting session... So why not.
