Show Your Latest 1:400 Purchase

My newest arrival is this albino Boeing 727-200... 100% 3D printed!
In my opinion, it looks wonderful! Another masterpiece fully made by my friend Jonas here in my city. I've ordered it blank because it will be easier to make some virtual customs for my airport 😆

This one will be featured a lot in my diorama :cool:

Any chance your friend Jonas might make a few more to sell? Looks like a great custom victim (donor).
 
Using a very modest amount of super glue will do the trick. Just make sure you don't apply a super glue tip directly on the wing as you want to control the amount you apply. You could probably bend the engine back if you're very careful.
Engine pylons have like a huge crack in them though

He's always busy with orders and there's already another 727 for me at the pipeline... see below 😝

However, keep in mind that shipping from Brazil to abroad is quite costly because we live in a dumpster country filled with taxes 😒
 
Two recent additions. A NG United 787-9 from Waffles terrible (on the wallet) collection sale and an interesting release. I randomly came across an eBay listing that puzzled me and had to go into MADB to confirm that indeed HYJL had released a CAL A350 on the NG mould a few years ago and only made 150 of them.

The JC A330 x HX 747 is quite funny because the JC A330 clearly sits too low while the HX sits too high!

That AV400 mould does not look that great. Bit of a shame.

The #1 engine on the OneWorld A340 seems to hang lower than the #2 engine :(
 
Even though I am Klink's number one enemy, for my sins I still buy a lot of Aeroclassics and have become quite accepting of their limitations. Obviously the subject matter is usually amazing and mostly the models are acceptable to great. Their Douglas products are definitely some of their best and this pair of United DC-8-61s are great releases.

The silver belly would be better if it didn't fall foul of AC's legendary lack of care. The inner starboard engine arrived pointing skyward since the pylon it was attached to was bent. With a bit of the hairdryer treatment I was able to get the engine off and slightly bend the pylon. Still not perfect, and now with a bit of scratching, but better than it was. Here's a before and after. Too often Aeroclassics models arrive in a state that makes them worth less than you paid for them.
