The African DC-8's are really nice, the Korean DC-10 is pretty too.
Got the new GJ Hawaiian A330-200
The main gears really are quite low as some pictures from elsewhere in the forum and if you look closely side on there is that upward attitude which is completely wrong
Compared to JC A330-200
From this angle it is so pronounced, but viewing from further away it is not so noticeable...
That said the printing looks fantastic, i love the engine detail
And of course the tail is just gorgeous, in love with this model...i can overlook the stumpy gear just for this i think
Next to NG A330-200 haha
And a Kuwait A338 by Phoenix, with see through Trent 7000. Even though the fanblades are wrong I think it's neat
The winglets are shocking though, looking not much like the real thing. Not sure if I should try and replace this with the JC version.

My latest models - HX Tropical 747 and Patriot MD11F. Both models are wonderful, fantastic and easily go into top 10 of my collection. Only thing I can complain about is the 747’s tail color which should be a bit more dark, also engines are great but I think they would look much better if they are not see through and contain all the blades like NG and Panda do. Patriot MD11 is 10/10. The Singapore 747 is 9/10. I do recommend them and I can’t wait to buy 747 from HX again!

The wing flex on the Gemini/JC A330 is usually pretty awful as well.

Lovely little Fokkers... 
Yeah true but my concern is more with the winglet shape. My JC A339 winglet looks a lot better, this Ph example is so weirdly shaped

So Yesterday (1st of July) was my 21st Birthday, and while I didn't get any models yesterday, this arrived from Canada today. I am absolutely in love with this model and can't wait to get more 3D Design Deck models.
Sadly, it did come with the nose gear and left prop broken, infact after looking in the box while writing this, the other half was not in it. It doesn't really bother me. I just used a little glue and its pretty much perfect.
This specific model is Number 12 out of 100 made, which is a really nice touch that I feel makes 3D Design Deck's models that more special. I have preordered the B-2 release from June and am very much looking forward to that arriving sometime next month.
I will also be making my largest purchase of models ever either late this week or early next week (It's only 4 models which will be $350.71 and is just sad seeing prices like that for 4 models).

I have been adding some models as of late but wasn't able to share them with you. Today, I would share some of them and would like to start first with models which I bought without their original boxes (again!) - I took the risk and most of them came in intact.
Starting with Air Florida B737-2T4 Adv N53AF by GJ, which I just received today. At first I thought the postman had lost it because it was marked "as delivered" yesterday but didn't show up. Luckily it was here!
Moving on with a set of models I received around 1-2 weeks ago - a British Airways B737-5L9 G-MSKB by GJ. The aircraft featured a Hybrid Landor livery and was operated by Maersk Air UK when she was leased to BA. Astonishingly, my first ever B735 - which is the missing piece for my B737 Classic lineup.
Then, another 737 Original, this time coming from Canadia - Nordair B737-242C C-FNAQ by AC. It had some dirt marks when viewing from the top but otherwise looked fine from the sides.
It's T-tail time - a first DC-9 for quite a while (I used to have 1 before but sold it) - Delta DC-9-32 N1267L by GJ in the Widget scheme - the DL scheme I most fond of.
And the only unfortunate victim of the whole set (port v. stab felt out - dried glue although the seller wrapped very carefully and the v.stab is still inside the bubble) but also the most interesting frame - Austrian DC-9-32 OE-LDA by AC. The shiny chrome of this 2007-made model is much more shiny than many of the recent releases by the brand.
To conclude this post - a model which I just picked up from a collector this afternoon - the astonishing Alaska Airlines B737-490 N792AS by GJ in the original special "King Salmon" livery. The livery was later applied to a B738 - which right now featured a more elaborate version named "Salmon People".
That concludes today' s post of incoming narrowbodies. Which models leave you with the most impression in the batch?
