Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

Only 1 new arrival today for me and a part of the so-called "unsuccessful" Singles' Day sale - introducing a new Middle Eastern carrier - Oman Air B737 MAX 8 A40-ME by JCW. The registration "ME" is the abbreviation of my current study - something nice! I got a model for Black Friday but the warehouse address issue is a burden and I am negotiating for the resend. Hopefully everything went smooth! My diorama is still yet to be completed but after this week I will continue working on it. Here is the port side

I like 777 a lot - but I'm surprised to find out how late I am on acquiring the interactive 777F.

The closed kit fit nicely into the fuselage and sit flush - it's that the doors are rather snuggly fitted and it takes patience to remove them.

The open kit looks nice too

20231201_215914.JPGPrice is rather good as GJ goes (~45USD) - I honestly can't think of any retailer that sells GJ 777 this cheap.
 
My Black Friday adds courtesy of the Texan Airplane Store! Got these two NGs that I had been indecisive on for a long time and I'm really glad I did. The Canyon Blue -700 is an iconic livery, but they're just about gone now (only 3 of them left!). These used to fly into my local airport (KSNA) all the time.

The Alaska Galaxy's Edge -800.....WOW this is a stunning model in-person! Honestly even better than I thought it'd be. NG did a magnificent job. This livery has some personal connection to me since I used to go to Disneyland a lot while I was younger and I got to visit Galaxy's Edge once. This thing really pops 😮

The Canyon Blue -700 fits in perfectly with the Max 8, and I now have two Alaska 738s in my collection. :)

An early Christmas gift...and the last model of 2023. NG's BA 777-200. I missed out on the earlier release, but was thrilled when this one came around. To my glee, this one comes with the British Airways Crest adjacent to the titles.

And although I am not thrilled with the APU, the rest of the mould is spot on. The British Airways blue really stands out to me, along with that tail. Do I need to talk about the gears, Wow😲 Thank you NG.

Now if you could tweak that APU for 2024, would be appreciated.

Happy holidays
