Got this An-225 recently for very cheap on AliExpress. Not going to stay in my collection, though. I bought it to resell here in Brazil.
Must say i'm quite impressed with the overall quality. The model is made of plastic but looks really good and well-built.

If some manufacturer could release cheaper models made of plastic, but still having good quality, I wouldn't mind at all!
Reminds me of Dragon Wings... great great manufacturer!

I don't regret getting this A332 - I know the casting is slightly inferior, but the price I get was just slightly above a new JC release this day would cost. I think as a GJ that's a deal that I find it hard to miss LOL.
 
Something new arrived in the mail today. Aeroclassics Wardair 707-300C. A huge coincidence because this specific aircraft was retired less than 2 weeks ago. It was converted to an E-8C for the USAF in 2003/2004 and was transported via road to a museum for static display. Delivered in 1969, meaning it operated 54 years!

New arrival here: a pair of JAL B727-100s from DeAgostini "JAL Collection" series.
Got them from Aliexpress website, very cheap. The magazine and fancy box weren't included. Only the models were sent in the plastic blister.

The quality is OK, reminds me of early 2000s Gemini 727s.
Cockpit windows could be larger and nose gear could be shorter, but IMO they still look nice overall.
Despite the nice classic JAL livery, these will be donors for customs :)

A few months later, and this is the result for these two ex-JAL birds :D

They both have a few flaws but nothing too bothersome.
The mould is, of course, very inferior for today's standards but i'm happy with the result.
As always: both made by my custom-maker friend here in my city.

Could you send a link to where you bought them?
