Way more. I myself account for being in 4 digits this year alone. I’d easily say over 50k…easily in this thread. You have to account for all the rare and expensive purchases of old and rare models, especially the aeroclassics that do the smaller batches and some people tend to hoard.

Wow. I completely forgot some models go for a lot more than 50 bucks.

Got some decent photos of it, any thoughts? Is there anything out of the ordinary with this sample compared to other Gemini 732s of the time? Also which mould of these two do you generally prefer?

Sorry for the overexposure lol

Just landed today is a rather unusual Queen with 5 engines.
Perhaps this is the first unboxing of the Mach Birdz 747-400 with 5 engines?
Really glad MHH made it as I've been wanting this to be released for years. Now waiting for the Nalanji Dreaming and the Wunala Dreaming from HX. We are indeed living in the best era of 1:400 especially for the 747.
My current Qantas 747 fleet - awaiting Nalanji and Wunala (which accidentally also bear the -OEJ rego as the boxing roo on the right)
Utilizing the 5th engine mount.

A couple of recent arrivals that have landed here over the past 2 months
My CRP exchange model finally arrived, the Russian State Transport Tu-214 in the 2003-2010 color scheme. I really wish that NG uses this mould more for some Russian domestic releases. Red Wings, Transaero, S7, and a short Vladivostok Avia surely should be looked into.
Next is a Syrian Air Force Il-76 from Aeroclassics, this aircraft being the exact one that Assad fled from Syria in. This also serves as a lovely representative for Syria in my collection, soon to be possibly joined by an A340 as well.
The EMERCOM Il-62M from Phoenix, who have done a superb job making this mould. I now humbly wait for a standard Aeroflot, Tarom, and an Interflug Il-62M.
The StarGazer herself, NG L-1011's are always some of the best models to ever grace this scale and this is no different. My only qualm is with that the rocket on my example is slightly off center, and the printing on the No.2 is still a bit too high. Apart from that it is beautiful.
Lastly, a China Southern 787-9 from NG Models. I came very close to buying the CZ 788 that NG produced ages ago but I needed a CZ 789 as they tend to fly into LHE and ISB fairly often, supplemented by the 737-800 and the occasional A330. Lovely model, glad it was worth the wait.

Finally received Kylin CI 747 (old livery, with ROC flag version).
China Airlines 747-400 (B-161)
(This time HX finally put the window in the right position, better than the last ALB B-164,thank goodness）
China Airlines Cargo 747-200F (B-160,Dynasty Cargo)
However, I believe those with sharp eyes have noticed that HX has messed up the wings on this B-160 again. Although this 742F is a late-production aircraft equipped with the -400 WBF, like other HX 743, they simply installed the -400 wings on this 742F, grinding off the winglets and wingtip extensions. However, HX is developing new wing molds, so perhaps we'll see the correct wings in the future?
Due to well-known reasons, CI is now can't exhibit the Republic of China/Taiwan flag on aircraft.

I have to say, the JC 747 landing gear is really too low.In comparison, HX is better

不過，相信眼尖的朋友們已經注意到，HX 又把這架 B-161 的機翼搞砸了。雖然這架 742F 是後期生產的，配備了 -400 WBF，但和其他 HX 743 一樣，他們只是把 -400 機翼裝在這架 742F 上，把小翼和翼尖延長部分磨掉了。不過，HX 正在開發新的機翼模具，或許以後我們就能見到正確的機翼了？
由於眾所周知的原因，CI 現在不能在飛機上展示中華民國/台灣國旗。

不得不說，JC 747的起落架確實太低了。相比之下，HX更好

It should have the same wing spawn as the normal 747classics
