Some new models (& spare parts) just showed up this afternoon.
Firstly, the nose landing gear by Aeroclassics for my Lufthansa DC-8. I have bought these gears once but it was kept somewhere at home and I could not find it. Thus I bought a second set to get the front landing gear for this model. And yes 2 replacement gear sets cost more than twice as much as the model itself.
A model that I missed at initial release and several times later throughout several years. Also I would have preferred the slot-in wings version made by Phoenix. Here is the ANA Cargo B767-316F(ER) JA605F by JCWings. For ANA Cargo, I also preferred the 767F over the 777F although the latter is recently made and widely available. A slight paint smear is also visible on this photo.
Governmental aircrafts have not been my focusing subject as I am more interested in commercial counterparts. Here is the Royal Thai Air Force A340-541 HS-TYV 60204. The airframe is ex-TG. Phoenix has nailed the release nicely. My only complaint is the wing dihedral points a bit too high upward.
A rerelease is rare nowadays and especially for Panda - who I have not seen rereleasing high-demand subjects. During the initial 764 release last year I moved to Germany and did not stay connected well, hence I missed the original batch. Fortunately PM decided to do a rerun (along with the evoBlue 764) for this highly-sought modern release. I might need to add the evoBlue although I have got NG ones.
That’s all for today. What is your favorite arrival?
