N411DX - Apologies for the much darker yone on this pic - it is the first pic on my hand-me down camera and I am not that used to it so...🙈

Meanwhile, an Air France A343 F-GLZL by Aeroclassics also joined my fleet

WOW, that airfrance a343 genuinely looks good. The printing on it is quite nice.
 
These two AF A340s look really great! I agree about the printing, it's super nice.
BTW, please check the #1 engine of your A342. If the engine is loose, a tiny drop of glue might do wonders!
 
Usually areoclassics models look somewhat unflattering with their lack or soft looking details. Appears to not be the case here
 
So, it's been a while since I've been on here (roughly 2 months, life has been a pain 😫). But, I bought a few models during that time, and splurged a bit on my birthday~

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!

They might… there have been a few Air Aruba models released over the years.
Gotta go pick up mine 😁
Yeah no kidding, I saw Richard posted about it a few days ago, but I was waiting for it to show up on the retailer emails. Just pre-orderes with the El Aviador guys. Among all the wonderful classic stuff that has been released lately this one shines for sure, along with the AC TAME.

AC made both an Air Aruba and ALM DC9s. Nobody has made any MD's though only customs. Hopefully they do make them. A DCA DC9 would be nice to see also.
 
Some new arrivals to me! First are the purchases from eBay:

- A random buy because I was obsessed with the low price of the old releases: Euralair B737-800 F-GRND by Herpa - a non winglet B737NG and SunCountry DC-10-15 N154CY by GJ.

Then my first B744 from PHX - finally I step into this zone. However this is their 1st gen product. Hence, it still looks like the flying machine - Royal Air Maroc B747-428 CN-RGA by PHX. A very pleased purchase for me!

2 pre-orders from the local store came but 1 was returned due to the broken main landing gears (great job NG - 1st time I have to return a model). Here is the one that came intact - and it is such a well-crafted models with all those antennas. Introducing Syrianair A340-313 YK-AZB by PHX. I actually requested this model to be sent by now for convenience.

By Aeroclassics maybe, but I wouldn't expect NG to step in. I feel Air Aruba would be too niche for the current NG style of releases.

Lovely birds! I have the Sun Country DC-10 aswell :)

That nose gear of the RAM 747 seems to be bent but, checking the database, it seems that they all look like this 😐
