Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

These 2 new B77Ws just came to my collection as a successor to the previous iterations made by PHX when they still had the tiny GE90s.
Furthest is EVA Air B777-300ER B-16740 by AV400 (replacing PHX B-16725)
Closer to us is SWISS B777-300ER HB-JNL by PHX (replacing PHX HB-JNC).

After going through a painful March with me struggling to make ends meet, I finally got some spare money to grab a few aircrafts to my collection :LOL:

Wow where did you get this for that price?
It's a secondhand seller on Carousell - a platform on selling secondmand goods.
The aircraft actually have a few scar on the fuselage (Notice the area above the R of Airways)- hence explain the relatively low price.

My 5 new arrivals for today, came from 5 separate orders but I combined to ship at once (I try to minimize freight cost). From the furthest to the closest we have:
- Edelweiss A340-300 by Phoenix - the newest version and sold out quick (unlike the first time they made it when they had to compete with JCW). The blue title seems a bit brighter than it is. It is meant to replace my JC version which already found a new lease of life. The reg was also my suggestion to PHX.
- Shenzhen B737-8MAX by PandaModels. My first 737MAX (yay a new type unlocked). Since having read an article that Shenzhen would be putting their MAX into commercial service real soon (the article stated that ch-aviation showed 1 Max of the airline is going on maintenance so I guess would fly really soon). I try to grab it as it is the last piece.
- Bamboo Airways Airbus A321ceo by NG. The last A321 of the trio released by NG that I was still missing. I flew on the exact registration from HAN to SGN so adding the model into my fleet is a no-brainer. Bought it around an hour afternny arrival lol.
- Chongqing Airlines A321neo by NG on the older casting (came with a numbered cards too, limited out of 180). I try to expand my Chinese carriers which I initally reluctant to. As it is also the last model available I rushed to get it (I bought the Chongqing first, then found out Shenzhen eas the only left and bought Shenzhen within 5 mins interval - wish Inhave found it sooner). Now I found that there are so many Chinese carriers that I need to add.
- And finally, the only new model released on 2023 of the batch - Aeroflot IL-62M by GJ. This is a direct successor to my ill-fated Olympics Carriers which is disintegrating at a great pace due to zinc rot. I might gonna make a comparision. The colors on 2 models are different. My issue is that the secondary rear landing struts (both extended and up position as GJ provides)'s mount do not fit into the housings at the 62 tail as they are smaller. I used double sided tapes to make sure they are in place.

Which model(s) is/are your pick from my today' s arrival?

P/s: I am still waiting for CX Lettuce L1011 from NG.

A few of the latest arrivals. I've been looking for this Varig MD-11 for a while. This one is in great condition which will replace one I got some time ago where an ebay seller said it was "like new" and came as if it went through a glue and hail storm. The Faucett DC-8 was a gift from a friend in Peru who's father worked for the airline and has an amazing Faucett collection and diorama. And the DC-3 is soon to get the acetone treatment.

Great ones, José! I'm happy to have my Varig MD-11 aswell, together with the MD-11 in Landor and '98 World Cup liveries.
The Martinair MD-11 is also a beauty!
