Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

Welcoming another B747-400 with special livery into my fleet :LOL:
This time it's the Cathay Pacific "Asia's World City" B-HOY by Apollo:LOL::LOL:View attachment 8826
Eagerly awaiting for AV400's "Asia's World City" 77W B-KPF to complete the duo:)
Delightful! You can never have too many 747s, will you get the 742/77W pair in the SOHK livery to complement them too?

As far as actual holy grails go, this comes pretty dang close! Definitely one of the year's highlights in 1:400 scale, and all it took was about half a year! Now all I need is a Widget..
Stunning… No other words for it! Now we all eagerly await the AC widgets…
 
First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone around! 🎄🎅🏻✨😃

This preciousness here arrived at my place shortly before Christmas. It was basically the number 1 on my most-wanted-list! I found it on eBay and it made my wallet bleed. But still I’m sooooooo glad that I won the auction and got my hands on that baby!!! 🤩🤩 I never dared to think that still today I will find one of those at all…

This is one of the best special liveries on the Dreamliner out there. I saw one for sale a couple months back, I almost bought it but decided to go with a Qantas 789 instead. Great find!

I have the AV400 77W SOHK - but ain't particularly interested in getting the other 3 as a quartet.
The 747 SOHKs (742 - B-HIB/744 - B-HOX) are pretty rare and hard to find - I also don't particularly interest in getting the B-HOX version.
The 773 SOHK (B-HNK) were pretty lame to me and hence I don't really interest in getting that one too.

You went for the „100-years“ livery of Qantas?
 
I was browsing at my local hobby shop when I saw this, it was on sale and an absolute steal. Seeing a model for 50 bucks (AUD) doesn’t happen anymore so I just bought it. It is a little beauty and I am glad I did.

Yep! Found it at First Class, thankfully no issues with the model.
That’s great. 👍🏻 Funny thing is that the guy from whom I got the Aeromexico 787 also sold the Qantas 100 years 787, also from NG - and the auction ended only two minutes later. I tried to get this one as well but since the Aeromexico plane got quite expensive, I couldn’t bid extremely high on the other one and so I lost that auction. But I’m thankful for the one I got and now there’s still something to hunt for on eBay. 😅
 
I am more than joy to receive this Swissair beauty when I just got home from uni. Introducing Swissair Boeing 747-357(M) HB-IGD made by Aviation400 in 2008. The model is the highest I have ever paid, crossing the 3 digits mark for 1/400 model. The engines are kinda small but overall the model looks great. I can't wait to have a detail review soon!

Ryanair 737 Max 8-200 by unnamed brand (it's Phoenix). I didn't see this one announced, so must have been a pirate release.

The L-1011 was a gift to myself, a Christmas treat of sorts, however the Electra was a complete surprise from my brother. We had Christmas together as a family for the first time in many years and he handed me a present. I was expecting it to be a box of chocolates or something along those lines, but I was pleasantly surprised and a bit shocked when I saw it was this lovely model! It is a 2012 release that I had been looking for for a long time, without any success, and he managed to walk into a random hobby shop and find it! I hope all you people have a merry Christmas and a wonderful new year! :D
Very nice! How is that L-1011? I've been thinking about getting it for a while now.
