Continuing on my new arrivals - this time a bunch of Widebody Airbuses

It seems like the port side and starboard side ain't the same... Interesting...

The A330 is supposed to be nose down, tail up... it seems Phoenix got it the other way around
At least the A340s look fine. The Air Jamaica is really nice!

Really happy to have received this CX A350-900 B-LRA from NG Models to complete the collection. Does anyone know if the mould has changed for the A350-900? It seems blunter than the A350-1000 which my CZ A350-900 actually has a sharper nose for. The cockpit printing it also a little bit higher and a tad bit more shallow as well? It almost looks like the Panda Mould to be honest, I'm quite surprised.

A trio of recent additions from eBay. I was surprised to be able to get the Iberia DC-9 for less than £40. My 91st Aeroclassics DC-9

I've also been picking up some military C-46 Commandos. Two of these are the Yu ModeL PLAAF versions and the other pair are USAAF and USN Aeroclassics releases.

You beat me to that Iberia. Felt the shipping was to high though. Nice catch!

New arrival for me

Boeing 737-300 Varig PP-VOZ "World Cup 1998"
by Panda Models - exclusive release for BR Diecast

BR Diecast is a new brand owned by retailer Pedro Miniaturas, and focused in Brazilian models, specially classics. This is their first and sole release at the moment. It seems they are planning to release a VASP B737-200 in a partnership with JC Wings.

A lovely little model and beautiful box too!




Also a great companion to the MD-11 PP-VPP, wearing the same colors. A gorgeous duo

The next set of Aeroclassics are set for release soon. Last month I picked up four including this pair of Wien Fairchild F-27s. Wien was one of the pioneering Alaskan bush airlines and had been flying since 1927. 7 F-27s flew with the airline in the 60s and 70s. Following the takeover of Northern Consolidated in 1968 Wien became Wien Conslidated but changed to Wien Air Alaska in 1973.

So, a surprise showed up at my door yesterday. I placed this order on three of the models months ago, and they finally showed up!

Lufthansa "Retro" Livery D-ABYT B747-8i NG Models "Ultimate Collection" comes with a stand I remember ordering the standard version, but got the Ultimate Collection instead. Not complaining, though~ the cradle casing came cracked when I opened it. Thankfully, the model doesn't show any damage Missing antenna near the upper rear fuselage

KLM "100 Yrs. (Sm.)" Sticker PH-BFG B747-400 JC Wings bent nose gear feels like it has a greasy layer	Virgin Atlantic G-VBIG B747-400 JC Wings bent nose gear feels like it has a greasy layer	Singapore Airlines 9V-SVN B777-200ER JC Wings comes with a card

I'm not sure if this has been an issue with everyone else, but the recent B747 models I've been getting have bent nose gears. While they are a bit easy to fix (just some subtle nudging), it's been getting frustrating.

Really hurts to see those nose gears being bent on 747s lately

Funny (sad, actually) to see how both JC Jumbos have bent nose gears in the same angle lol

Yeah. The few previous jumbos (including those 2) all had bent nose gears. Either it's a production issue, or I'm just THAT unlucky lol.

I would say production issue as I also got this similar problem with their new 744 toolings (could also include 744F interactive - this needs more confirmation). Seems like the nose gear is too easy to bend, the box doesn’t protect that area well.

Over the last week I've made a few model purchases. The first two below I got whilst on vacation recently: the Eastern 777 was purchased at the Airplane Shop in Miami (my first visit to one of their locations), while the Altitude Models A320 I got off from @redriveraviation. Been needing the latter especially, and seeing that no one else has expressed interest in releasing it, he was willing to sell me one of his. Very appreciative of his generosity and I love both of these models!


This one arrived in the mail shortly after my vacation. Really happy with how Gemini performed on this, should've been the case for the current livery but oh well.

Been on the fence about this one - but this photo from you convinces me to get this. Looks really, really nice.
