Both very beautiful models! That IL-86 is really cool. Would be interesting to have a version with Soviet flag and CCCP reg, to match the recent IL-62 released by Gemini.

Unboxing and Review!
JC Wings has created a beautiful specimen of a333p2f, first to be converted to be precise!
The aircraft was manufactured in 1995 and had entered service for Malasya Airlines and was then converted between 2012 and 2017, where in December it entered service for ASL Airlines with the hybrid livery.
One of the few freighter models with P&W4000 engines! Which makes me appreciate it even more as specimens are generally reproduced with the RR Trent700.
Of this model we can find this version produced by JC Wings, and another one by Panda Models with the same registration, while we can find a Phoenix version with the B-LDO registration from when it was in service for AIR HONG KONG.
Emotionally I am very close to EI-HEA as it is often a visitor to MXP, the airport where I was usually a spotter.
But now after small general notions .. let's move on to the model!
Model a little difficult to find new, mine arrived from a shop in China, the box is not in perfect condition, but I don't make a big deal of it, let's say it has the signs of aging like the original model! I don't make a drama out of it.
The bogies seem fragile to me, but being the model large, and the bogies small and very detailed.. they can give this impression, I appreciate that the bogie axles also flex! Well done JC, I LIKE IT!
Small detail for the fanatics, where there are antennas you can see the circular hole, it's not a drama, but maybe the most fussy turn up their noses ... it's an imperceptible detail, but I know the most attentive ones will notice, a honestly it doesn't bother me at all and it's imperceptible.
Model full of details and care in the decals, in my opinion JC has done a good job here. WONDERFUL JC! Could it get better? Yes, by putting the windows plugged.
Many don't get the 333 JCs as they say they wheelie, and there's too much load behind them... there's absolutely no wheelie. Don't worry!
The real one doesn't have the gray, raw metal in the engine mounts, but it's all white, a small oversight, which I notice as a fan of this precise model
Plus: land gear, good mould, cockpit shapes and decals
Minus no close windows, error in the upright that supports the engine, with the gray part.
In conclusion I would give the model a good 8, I would say that it is a particular aircraft and deserves to be exhibited! Noteworthy construction. I absolutely recommend it!

I agree with you Leo. With JCW tendency to recreate multiple regs in the same livery, I hope one day we'll see the CCCP iteration.

Here's my latest arrival:
USAF Lockheed C-130H Hercules - 89-1186 - Tennessee Air Guard
by Dragon Wings
This is my first military model in 1:400 and I'm quite happy!
Very cool 1990s lizard camouflage scheme, and the mould is also very nice. The tail shape is a bit off, it's too wide, but I believe Dragon have corrected this later, judging by some pics i've seen on the internet.
Got this Herc for a quite cheap price on Ebay, so it was a happy purchase for me.
It seems the rear cargo door can open, but honestly I didn't manage to do it and I prefer not to... maybe I might break it. LOL

A new comer that compliment my Cathay Pacific regional fleet
JC Wings Cathay Pacific B777-300 B-HNG
I originally thought it is a Phoenix release, but after checking databases it is in fact a JC Wings release in the earlier slot-in casting! Not something you see everyday

The APU looks proportional, however not sure about the engine or cockpit window size, the former seems a tad too small and the latter a tad too big. Nonetheless a lovely rendering.A new comer that compliment my Cathay Pacific regional fleet

Nice. North Central paint.
New arrival today. NWA by Aeroclassics. This actually turns out to be better than expected. Alot have said that the colour of the engines were incorrect. They looked incorrect on pictures but having the model in hand you can tell that they are correct.
If only the landinggears would be updated.

My latest arrivals from the Avalon Airshow:
PH Qantas A330-300 VH-QPJ ‘Silver Roo’ Livery:
A gorgeous aircraft, with not a defect in sight! Nice and cheap too, just as models should be. I will probably sell my AC version now, and buy the upcoming NG release to go alongside this.
JC TAA L-188 Electra VH-TLB:
An absolute steal, I got it for just 15 USD! Happy to have both TAA L-188s now.

That A333 is looking sharp, how are the horizontal stabs? They're somewhat oversized on the 332.

From what I can tell, they are spot-on. IIRC the PH A332 uses the A345/6 h. stabs.
