Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

Thanks. The Virgin -800s are the bane of my existence. They have been made by Phoenix, Daron and NG. The Phoenix and Darons are from more than a decade ago, so those are practically impossible to find. I gave up on owning the NGs, they seem to try every possible way to stay out of my collection. Firstly I pre-ordered them in May 2020 and my order never turned up, thankfully I got a refund. Fast-forward a month or two, I go to CAMAUST's store and they are sold out. I think to myself 'it's not a big deal, I will just buy them from somewhere else'. I go CAWA's website, sold out, My Hobby House, sold out. This went on for almost 6 months until I tracked one down. It was on eBay and not for a ridiculous amount. So I bought it and when the box arrived, both of the wings had detached and one was missing from the box entirely, taking off huge amounts of paint from the fuselage. The seller ghosted me and I never got my money back. I don't know what happened to that model but I cannot find it anywhere. So now, in 2022, two years after release, I have neither. 😞
Ahh.... Hopefully we both find them one day!
 
These look really good, I never thought I would like Delta's livery on a C-130!
Yeah. What makes my purchase choice interesting was that I was thinking what would happen if a manufacturer like Gemini made one of their C130's have Delta's livery on it and then I found one from West Coast Diecast.
Glad they arrived safely, they look great
They do look great! I don't think I would had gotten them if I didn't know about you're wonderful store.
 
I had some long long awaited jewels arriving during the last days. The best of it, I got all those planes from NG Models and they all definitely belong to the favorites in my collection. 😄

This one is definitely one of the mega highlights of my special livery fleet. 🤩 I absolutely love the design and couldn’t wait to have this plane released:

This one is a great addition to my African fleet as it’s my first A350 at all. And I simply love the Ethiopian livery, and this one even is a special one (10th A350) 🤩:

Last but not least I found this one on eBay. As I was flying on an Air France 787-9 recently, it was an absolute joy to find this plane from NG as it’s much more beautiful that the Gemini Jets Version. 🤩

Those Pokémon planes have always interested me due to their striking and bold designs, even though I have never played the game. Great purchases!

Stunning! These Pokémon planes always look really good, I would love for NG to make the 747s eventually!
 
Here's my latest arrival:
Boeing 767-300ER Varig PP-VOJ by Phoenix

This is my first Phoenix model. I'm not really a fan of this brand, as they seem to have the weakest moulds: their 737s, 747s and A300 look quite bizarre, and sadly I've skipped a few 747 releases due to their ugly mould. On the other hand, their 767 looks decent and this Varig bird is simply stunning! What a nice model, i'm glad I finally got it.
