I’ll do a couple comparison photos between the two tomorrow to show the differences. I’m sure ACs general printing quality (at least compared to gemini) won’t be a shock to many.

Looking forward to it!
A couple of recent Taobao arrivals from C Models using the Panda 737-800. B-5688, Xiamen's 100th Boeing Aircraft, had previously been made by Phoenix in 2013 so I avoided that one. I see now NG have it as a future release 
. There are better options for re-release Xiamen 737-800s. B-5515 wears the Yunnan Feather as it was operated by China Eastern Yunnan Airlines. As far as I'm aware this is the first ever release of this livery on the 738.

It is lovely! This one's on my wishlist!
And am patiently waiting for GJ/JC to make their CRJ-X!
Will be lovely to see these 2 pencils besides each other

woah the nose gear on that CRJ550 is so tall now? is that normal with that mould or a new thing? usually it’s pretty nose down of a model
Indonesia is something of a mini focus area for me and I've just picked up this rather random pair. Both Aeroclassics. Megantara Air only lasted for two years, from May 2007- May 2009 and only flew a couple of aircraft. PK-TMA was leased from Transmile and went on to Raya Airways. She's apparently preserved at the Twin Jets Resort in Malaysia nowadays. Batavia Air was much bigger and lasted from 2001 until 2013. Their fleet was mainly 737s but they also operated some Airbuses and this single F28-4000. The Aeroclassics mould is too short to be a series 4000, but nice little model anyway. PK-YCM started life with Altair and flew with Empire, Piedmont and USAir before jetting off to Asia.

Is this a common problem on the new release??? The rest of the mould seems the same.

You are correct that they made the nose gear taller for some odd reason... My other CRJ-700's are not this tall.

I don’t hate it?? but I don’t love it either… the plane looks right now but the nose is way too tall. all the gear should be shortened a bit now

This nose gear is for sure too tall... The CRJ-700 (550 Same Thing) has a nose down attitude.

Those Aeroclassic swoops are awful... I do think Gemini did a nice job with what they have to work with here but something about the GJ vertical stab looks off. Almost like they shaved off some of the length at the top.

I've been thinking of picking up the GJ PSA A321
I strictly avoid GJ/JC Airbus stuff - but GJ seems to have done an 'acceptable' job - and I'm not sure if there will ever be a Panda / HYJL / NG version

Went to Zurich spotting with a close friend and we like to buy 1 or 2 models of planes that we’ve seen that remind us of a good trip. I ordered 2 with the first arriving yesterday.
Gemini Jets Emirates A380 A6-EES in the Destination Dubai livery. This became a memory due to her sister ship (A6-EEW) in the same livery conducting a go around right in front of us.

I’m not counting on it. There’s a chance they get to one or two in my eyes (NG wishlist is best chance imo) but I knew GJ would do the whole lot of them and I wanted the consistency. Hopefully i’m proven wrong, but I also hope i’m not because I don’t want to have to replace all of them

Another new arrival of mine. It’s a Jet-X USAir MD82 in the 80s era livery. This is normally a type of model id never really got for but it was 22usd total including shipping so why the hell not. That’s basically like getting a free model nowadays. This is the second of this livery I own and can go next to my GJ MD82 for en eventual diorama.

Yessir everything but the fuselage and vertical stab is plastic I believe. Feels like it’s a Dragon Wings release.
