Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

Definitely resin. Sanded quite heavily which makes some of the minute details a little unreliable. Wouldn’t bother me but I know a lot of you guys are fuming when the nose cone is half a millimeter to wide so….😂😂😂
 
That 727 looks amazing! What material was it printed on?

I say we get our hands on one of those and clone them in resin 😆

A lot? Phantom already gave it its approval, so we're good. And Leo owns the model, so we know the landing gear is acceptable.

Another long sought after addition to my Qantas fleet, has just arrived and is VH-TAA, one of four A300B4s QF inherited when it tookover Australian Airlines in October 1993. All four frames saw 5 years further service before sale to Pace Cargo for freighter conversion, after which they joined Express.net Airlines.

My newest mystery box has arrived from Waffle containing 3 news models: YY A340-600 D-AIHF, PHX 737 MAX 9 TC-LYA, and the NG A350-900 N512DN which I didn’t show because it’s big standard like the rest of my many Delta 350s. One thing I noticed on MADb was that the item number for the 340 was off, but other than that it looks good compared to the old PHX 340 that I have. Speaking of PHX, I’ve grown my Turkish fleet into the narrow body sector as Addis Ababa sees multiple equipment from the Max’s to their 330s. I’d love a 321neo to go with my 332/3 and now Max 9 for some Turkish ops in ADD.

Just received the new AV400 77W Definitely the best 777 in 1:400 (even though the cockpit windows printing isn’t great from lower angles)

New acquisitions have been slow in the late summer stretch, but after Gemini’s impressive August releases I had to snag a few of them. The U.S. Airways heritage was long overdue (don’t know why it took GJ this long to get to it, but better late than never); gotta love any and all Mad Dog usage; and the C-5A is absolutely fantastic. Really hope for the A and B models to make a comeback in future releases.

A couple of recent 727-100 acquisitions. Not as nice as Leo's 3D printed blank but what ya gonna do? First up there's 727-46 JA8308 in the JAL delivery scheme. I really like it when airlines put the plane type on the livery. This aircraft arrived in November 1965 but was sold to Korean Air in July 1972 where she became HL7307. Next she was off to Colombia for Avianca as HK-2421 but after only two months she joined SAM as HK-2421X. She was written off in 1993 when she caught fire on the ground at Bogota during maintenance.

And proving that the variability of the quality of the wing seam join isn't a new issue for the Aeroclassics 727-100. This model dates from 2009 and has a dreadful seam,but is otherwise lovely. CS-TBM here represents a 727-82 delivered new to TAP in July 1967. She joined Worldways Canada as C-GWGV in June 1989 then passed to Triax Airlines of Nigeria in December 1992 as 5N-TKE. Broken up at Miami in March 2002.
