although the odd widening of the lower fuselage ahead of the wing rather stands out on this example.

Yeah it's way too much!
I've been keen to pick up these MD-90s announced - AA, SAS, MU

My January Aeroclassics arrived a few days back. Despite the fairly regular QC issues, and the owner's regular attacks on me (or anyone commenting on models at all fairly), I'm still buying them and the selections remain excellent.

What QC issues did you find? Mine haven't arrived yet. But just from the pictures, the Servivensa blue seems a bit too bright.

I haven't looked too closely at these ones so none on this batch, although most Ac releases have livery issues of some kind. the QC on this batch isn't too bad, although the 727 noses are quite rounded

Love this 757! Is on my wish list. Seen it land in Singapore years back while I was on holiday.

I'm really pleased to see the return of the SP even if the nose isn't perfect. I got one of the Iranians and both the house colours versions just arrived at the hangar too.

My January NGs just landed today as well. Really nice pair, love the thick cheat-line livery variation on the Pan Am SP, this together with the other Pan Am 747/SP types in my collection has built up a comprehensive representation in 1:400. The Eastern TriStar though…a real beauty, it’s so well done. Will enjoy this one for many years to come. A big gap finally filled.

Due to the long absence of classic releases on their L-1011 & 747SP toolings, this is the first lot of new NG models I’ve had in a good while. The quality is solid on the copies I’ve received. I note the new plastic cradle the SPs are now coming in, plus the absence of the NG logo on the box, not just on this PA SP but all of the other releases as well. I also found the warning slip inside quite amusing. Watch out for 3D antennas! (Ducks for cover)

So, Squatchy's Diecast was having a sweet sale on Dragon Wings models. And I managed to get myself a hold on a few~ They're also holding a sale on Herpa models (at the time of making this post). I ordered a few Herpa models, and am excited to get them soon.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) "Pocket Monsters (Blue)" Livery JA8357 B767-300 Dragon Wings	All Nippon Airways (ANA) "Pokémon" Livery JA8962 B747-400 Dragon Wings comes with a stand Engines No. 1 & 4 were broken off when the model arrived. Though, it was easily fixable

Singapore Airlines "50th Anniversary" Livery B747-400 9V-SMZ Dragon Wings comes with a stand & instructions printing on this model is very awkward: small cockpit windows printing in general sits too high (judging on the window layout and titles) registration is the wrong font	Singapore Airlines "50th Anniversary" Livery A340-300 9V-SJE Gemini Jets this was labeled as Dragon Wings on the website, but it was in fact, a Gemini model when it arrived definitely one of GJ's older models: cradle mould not a lot of detail printing simple landing gear (non-rolling)

A wonderful sale indeed. I bought one DW model and had it send to my cousin's place in Florida, but now USPS "couldn't find the address" and the parcel is being shipped back to Squatchy's as I type this hope I can get my model instead of ending up with a refund

A new North Central model arrived, this one the 2020 Aeroclassics DC-9-50.


With that I’m down to just one plane in 1:400 scale, the Convair 340. Here they all are, probably the most North Central models in one photo ever

One of the more obscure releases on the new Panda Models MD-11 is this lovely China Eastern passenger version B-2173 made for Undefined Collectibles. This aircraft was involved in an emergency landing at Shanghai Hongqiao on Sept 10, 1998 with its nosegear up and converted to a freighter at the end of 1999.

Back to back unboxings? Wanted to see how the Panda mould is in person and I have really no complaints, looks super good! Had to pick up the Aeroclassics to be my first A310.

Your A310 have a black nose? I've seen a few releases with an incorrect navy blue nose. Same color of the cheatline, instead of black.
