Mind if I ask what's wrong with it? It'd be interesting to knowtoo bad the Varig 767 is so poor

I know it's not perfect, but I found it pretty good. I'm relieved it doesn't have any of the print issues many AC have had lately. Infact I almost bought the BWIA 727 until I saw that windshield print...too bad the Varig 767 is so poor

The black nose shouldn't be there, the cockpit windows are a bit too big and maybe slightly low.
The "Boeing 767-200 Extended Range" lettering should be placed much further aft, near the rear passenger door.
The overwing registration letters should be placed near the wingtips. Look at this picture. It's a very odd position indeed, to be honest lol
and I personally dislike the AC B767-200, the whole shape looks strange to me, the gears are poor, the engine looks generic. Anyway, this is a release I'd love to have but sadly AC 762 is not nice to me and I decided to pass.

Good points. I'm one for accuracy and detail, but I can make an exception on this one. The black nose, while it doesn't belong, it does look pretty cool. Unfortunately there aren't any other options for a 762 in this livery. And for some reason I don't feel like making this one as a custom to make it accurate. I have many others to make before this one.

Two new models today… 4th and 5th this week, I need to take a break 
The Qantas is a custom on the JC mould and the Air China was too good a deal to refuse.

It's been a while since I been on this site (again). But I received two new models over the past week and a half. This includes my first Panda Models aircraft!

It took a bit longer than anticipated but here is my latest haul which are all NG Models, most of which are Boeings. This is the 3rd time that I got the models from this eBay seller and I am happy with my purchases as they are as described - brand new with the point cards in the box.
Starting up with a model not for me - an Icelandair B737 MAX 9 TF-ICA "Blue" colors. I have not got myself a MAX 9 as there have been het any MAX 9 models produced that fit my collecting criteria. For MAX 9 I would like to see a Flydubai, SCAT Kazakhstan or maybe Air Tanzania.
Moving on in price order is another aircraft for my CA fleet - Air China A321-232 B-1878. The A321 with IAE engines are usually of the type -231 but this one is a bit different. In this manufacturing period, NG nailed the window lines really well with the Baby Buses but front gear is a bit awkward. The prime period for NG Baby bus - maybe?
NG's core mould in my opinion is the Ferrari of the Sky - Boeing 757 so it is without a doubt a new aircraft for my fantasy airline collection. This time it comes in the form of Jet2Holidays B757-236 G-LSAD. Its sistership - LSAC is also produced by NG and still roars the skies with added winglets enhancing fuel economy. Alas the scheme is for me vibrant for a holiday-themed operator.
Same price point as the 757 is this special scheme narrowbody from China - the famous China Eastern Yunnan B737-89P B-1788 "Yunnan Peacook" livery. This registration belongs to the aircraft that is still active. I remembered NG received a lot of discrimination when making the ill-fated airliners. The scheme is beautiful and if is a step up from current China Eastern scheme - which is bland.
Climbing the ladder again is my first NG Ultimate Collection that I received (I have 1 on order which is due soon back home). The box reminds me of the moon cake box (it is nearly mid-Autumn festival). I am wow-ed by the design and the material of the box. Also came along is a stand - which I did not have a good experience with. Introducing China United B737-89P B-208Y "City of Foshan" livery. Usually I am not a big fan of special scheme but I made this one as an exemption. As amazed as I am, I would surely add other CUA 738s special scheme as well if I have the chance.
I was asking my friends which MF I should get from the seller and many advised me to get the UN scheme instead the Skyteam, which I think would go well with the standard scheme MAX by JC at home. But still I want to get the Skyteam as I have not got any Skyteam scheme model. So here is the XiamenAir B737 MAX 8 B-20CP "In support of UN". To me the model is well made.
The only widebody in the set and also the only pre-2022 model - Air Canada B787-9 Dreamliner C-FRTG in the current scheme. When the model was released, I did not prioritize getting this because I wanted the B77W in the same scheme more. Since I already got the Triple 7 I thought this model would be a good companion to it.
A pair of models would conclude today's post - the newest released models in my whole purchase m. Introducing the Aeroflot Tu-154B2 with the special charter sticker. It is a shame that the most prominent marking of a Soviet commercial aircraft - the large registration on and under wing - are missing from these 2 models, which is really a crying shame as these 2 are already well-manufactured.

So that's the end of today's post. Thank you for reading and I hope you all enjoy them.

The Fokker 50, such a forgotten type in 1:400... very few releases
JC have a nice mould, although the gears are too long

Awesome. I have that same Cubana IL-76 by Model Power. Quality is a bit poor but honestly I'm having a hard time to find IL-76s for a good price, so it will do.
