they're just released to market in China. I got them on Taobao last weekend (domestic shipping).
other parts of the world may just need a bit more patience.
A new arrival this week from eBay is PP-VMB a 2018 Aeroclassics DC-10-30. VMB was the 2nd of 18 DC-10-30s operated by the Brasilian flag carrier. She was delivered on 18th June 1974 and remained in the fleet until December 1998 when she joined AVENSA as YV-50C. She remained with them until at least 2002 when she was stored at Roswell and scrapped in 2004.
VMB is my 20th VARIG addition. Brasil now takes up an entire shelf of one of the cabinets. Happy to dedicate this one to @LeoMuse747

What a gorgeous collection!
thanks for the dedication! These are wonderful.I'm happy to own some Varig models aswell, but a big part of them are actually customs because I couldn't find the original ones or they were too expensive.

This is a great looking model. I was tempted to go for it but at ~$100 USD with shipping I can’t justify it

Just arrived today is a mix of wide bodies.
A359 Delta 100th Anniversary by NG
B744 SQ 50th Anniversary + standard livery by YY Wings (HX mould)
B773 Factory livery by JC
B77W China Eastern Shanghai Museum livery by NG
Comparing with another 9V-SMU registration (JC) shows how the SQ744 early and late livery change from small title to big title, and removing the MEGATOP name. (HX 747's SQ blue color is too light IMO)
and my entire SQ 747 collection (742/742CARGO/743/744/744CARGO)
and a set of bare metals (744 by Patriot using HX mould)
at last the Delta A359 sets.

Russian aircraft have always interested me, and recently I have been able to obtain a few more to add to my collection.
Firstly I present my copy of the JC Wings Aeroflot Il-86 CCCP-86096, a 2023 release that quickly sold out here in Canada causing me to miss it at the time. Lovely model, Aeroflot did send these over into Karachi by the late 80's, making it a very sought after aircraft for me. Perhaps my favorite JC Wings model, it is very well done.
Here is a comparison of the Il-86, and its younger brother the Il-96-400M
Secondly is a LOT Tu-134 by Panda Models, courtesy of YankeeVictor400, run by our fellow collector @Jazajia. Lovely model, I have noticed Panda put proper rolling gear onto the Tu-134, as before it was a simply a rubber tire around the landing gear.
A comparison of the landing gear from a earlier Aviogenex Tu-134, and a recent LOT Tu-134.
Very glad to expand my Eastern Bloc collection, and looking forward to more Soviet types in this scale.

Jumbos might have been dwindling in real life, but in my collection it just grew stronger - especially with HX churning out 747s
The only non-HX of the bunch:
JC Wings B747-300 SWISSAIR HB-IGF
An late Skyteam 747
HX Model China Airlines B747-400 B-18211
And the pair of aboriginal 747s of Qantas - also by HX Model
B747-400ER VH-OEJ "Wunlala Dreaming"
B747-300 VH-OEB "Nalanji Dreaming"
Aboriginal widebodies of Qantas
I have high hopes with the HXs - especially the Qantas duos. Though the Nalanji are nice the Wunlala left quite a bit to be desired - especially since I have a Dragon Wings "Wunlala Dreaming" of VH-OJB...
The Nalanji also come with the port wing loosely hung to the fuselage and easly detached - but since no paint were chipped off by this I am just gonna fix it with glue and go ahead...

Thank you for this comparison. Those title colours are definitely off on the HX 747's. I think I will pass getting both SQ 747's now.

First aircraft model purchase. Air Canada 777-300ER for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics by AV400. Love the gold tail logo. Also my shot of the original at YVR (before it was repainted).
