Recent arrivals, most satisfied batch in a while. All stunners!

A big step-up for my special livery collection.

Lots of colorful birds

Just picked up these beauties from CAMAUST.

The Cathay A35K is the definition of stunning. Striking livery, excellent mould and crisp printing.

Look what has just arrived - NG members model

Unboxing
Korean Air B747SP HL7456
Garuda Indonesia A330-300 PK-GPU
Seems like this one is in rather small scale - only 120 exist as PK-GPU.

JC's new Air India 744 arrived, and like the airline, a little late. After the glare from the chrome wore off, I was able to get a good look at her. Although not a perfect mould, and considering NG's recent announcement it may soon be obsolete. That being said, what a stunner. Great printing and vibrant colours - a welcome addition to the fleet. Here she is heading to a stand in front of the international terminal.

My first NG exclusive, Garuda A330-300 PK-GPU. These Wonderful Indonesia stickers were common back when I lived there, so it's nice to finally get a model of one.

As a sidenote, looks like mine's #42 out of 120.

It has been quite a while since I got new models. Today I would like to introduce 3 aircraft that are operated by the Russian Air Force. Closest to the furthest on the starboard side reveals:
- Tu-154B-2 RA-85565 by NGModels. The model had a minor paint scratch on the joint between the vertical and port horizontal stab and came without a card. But for a reduced price it is a no brainer! I was thinking of getting this one later but the price held me from following my plan.

- Rossiya - Special Flight Squadron Tupolev Tu-214SUS RA-64522 by PandaModels. PM really captured well the canoe-shaped comms. A model I was reluctant to get at first but seeing it disappeared from literally all shops I had to act quick to grab one.

- Sistership to 64522 - FSB - Federal Security Service Tupolev Tu-214VPU RA-64523 by PandaModels. The blue cheatline is so classy! I intended to get it from another shop to have combined shipping and discount but they ran out of stock. At a result it came from the same shop as its sistership - really sistership!



A port look with the FSB at the front.



64522 from the front.



From above! A slight variation of the Rossiya scheme between NG and PM.



The paint scratch on the Tu-154 tail.



Also came in this package is a set of Herpa 1:500 light poles! That's all for today, I hope you enjoy the photos!

Beautiful Russian birds!

Squatchy has an in person store?

Yes, they had the diecast store collocated with their Lego store, but they just recently acquired a new local and are going to run two stores. One for Lego, and one for diecast model airplanes. As I understand most of his business is through the physical store, online is just gravy. We need more brick-and-mortar stores!

And I must add god I miss these experiences buying from an actual store where you can take a look at the aircraft and chat with people, so much more efficient than ordering online, even if it's about an hour drive in my case.
