Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

Here are some of my recent arrivals - albeit the more interesting ones - which I wasn’t to share it timely.

Starting with China Southern A330-322 B-8426 by NG which came with the Ultimate packaging. Currently I don’t have any PW-powered A333 (previously I had MH) so this is a welcoming addition.

Special schemes are not really my collecting criteria but i couldn't say no to a good deal. EVA Air A321-211(wl) B-16217 "Hello Kitty - Pinky Jets" by NG.IMG_3016.jpeg

Ooh that trending ad piece on the net these days: "Nothing beats a Jet2Holiday" - so when presented with the opportunity to get a model of the airline - I could not say no - especially a non-winglet version was already in my collection. Jet2Holdiay B757-23A(wl) G-LSAC by NG.

The latest arrival in my collection - Sichuan Airlines A330-343P2F B-32D2 by NG, which would go along well with my A332F by PM. Inam still holing for the airlines' A321P2F.

Next up is a classic - and a model which dated back to the screwed-bottom era - ALM - Dutch Antilean Airlines DC-9-15 PJ-DNA by AC. It's my first original length Diesel 9.

And also my first DC-3 that I have my hands on (i bought another one but it was at home so i haven't reviewed yet) - an interesting frame as well. Here's Icelandair C-47A Skytrain TF-NPK by JC. That red aircraft in the back is thenhighlight for today's post.

And that is the elusive Air Greenland B757-236 OY-GRL by NG. Most of the early 757s are extremely hard to come by nowadays, with the exception of the hybrid Republic/NWA. Despite the inaccurate engine diameter, which has now been fixed, the fine casting still blows away its current nearest competitor. The early-produced Ferrari of the Sky also came in many interesting schemes, some of which really worth for a production rerun. i have never thought myself could get this model nowadays.

That's all for today's post and i hope you enjoy these models. Which one would be your preference in this batch?

Actually, this KA A321 was purchased two years ago, but it recently had new landing gear replaced, so i also decide to display.🙂

Tiny arrivals for me today :)

Here are four 3D printed models in 1:400: two AS350 Ecureuil helicopters, a King Air C90, and an Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia.
The Brasilia is sporting the livery of my fantasy airline, Litoranea Linhas Aéreas, which will be present in my model airport 😅

These were fully made by my friend Jonas. He's also the one who made my Nordeste Linhas Aéreas duo (see here).

This is the first EMB-120 he did. Maybe a few adjustments are still needed. The gears are slightly too long, for example. But still, this is an impressive model, when we consider the size.

Here they are on my hand. They all look like Kinder Surprise egg toys! :LOL:

The Brasilia looks wonderful! Probably my favorite aircraft, that has been needing a 1:400 mould for ages. I myself need them for my United Express fleet.
 
Two new rarer arrivals today. Both via Northeast Diecast and @YesterAirlines discount code. Although they usually have quite pricey models on there, both of these were the cheapest i’ve seen these going for by a long shot and I decided to pull the trigger. I’ll be doing a MetroJet write up here in the next couple days telling the history of the airline and the two models surrounding it!
