Also in the latest Taobao box was one of the GeminiStar 747s using the HX mould. Aside from the landing gear height (which is pretty marginal and certainly better than it being too short) I don't have any real issues with this mould. I've been reading the discourse around it on here but I don't have major issues with the v stab or rear fuselage myself and they certainly don't stand out. In my view this is the best current 747-400 casting in 400 scale.

Nice model but sadly this last pic highlights two issues: the long gears and the cockpit windows, which are also a tad too high.

Agree about both, but don't think either are close to dealbreakers or change it's competitiveness in relation to the other available moulds. This is a few months old now too and it seems like later releases have shorter gear?

yep, not a dealbreaker for me either! It seems the newer releases have shorter gears, but I still think they could be even shorter.
At least NG got that right, while HX is still struggling. The HX A340-600, on the other hand, have them quite short!

Tongue-in-cheek buddy

That was a terrible iteration of the A346

Happen to (kind of) get 2 Aeroclassics in one day, also my first Aeroclassics collection.

The first, El Aviador 1:400 Lineas Aereas de Costa Rica 737-200 N239TA, Aeroclassic mould 2:









Aeroclassics' 737 mould is truly beautifully shaped.

The second, Skywings 1:400 Tianjin Airlines A320-200 B-6865 (Special livery for the 8th University Games of PRC).





I got this one with special price at Airmall (only ￥189), initially thought it's new Panda mould, but later found it's actually Panda's early mould that is the clone of Aeroclassics mould. So technically, I got 2 Aeroclassics in one day. The 737 also come at a reasonable price, at ￥211.

And I found it's very easy to focusing when I try to take photos of it. Probably due to high contrast.

It's finally here. the best 747 liveries ever.

Not an easy trio to hunt down but definitely worth it - Happy to finally have these nice F28s that were released in 2017 by Aeroclassics.

Witty Wings
Ilyushin IL-76MD - RA-76686
Russian Air Force - 224th Flight Unit

This is the 2nd IL-76 in my collection. The other one is a Cubana by Model Power, not a very good looking model.
This one looks much better, although there's definitely room for improvement. IL-76s are hard to get in 1:400 scale so this one came out in a nice opportunity for me. I bought it from a fellow collector here in Brazil. No box, but I don't mind.

An eBay purchase NG models jetBlue A Mint Summer Night's Dream A321Neo N2142J.

A lucky found of classic with reasonable price - Gemini Jets 1:400 Seaboard Worlds 747-200F N701SW:








I came across this on Xianyu and eventually get it with a bargain price of ￥140. The price is, there is no original box, and therefore causing some painting damage on the nose during transportation. But I'm not that type of calculating person, so it's still a good deal for me.

New arrival today:
Virgin Atlantic’s A35K G-VDOT from Aviation 400

 

[400Yinzer]

Two outstanding Aeroclassics 10’s joined the fleet today. My late grandfather retired on these and his logbooks indicate that he’d flown both of these tail numbers multiple times - very meaningful adds to the collection for me, enjoy!
