Both models are not perfect but here we can really see what Aeroclassics is able to make: a complete disaster especially on the shade of green in Alitalia tail logo, and a wrong shade of grey/silver.
Gemini has a better shade of light grey/silver even if with glitters, but the Alitalia green Is similar to the real airplane and the light green would be right but starts too high on the tail logo. Even "Alitalia" written is wrong but in Aeroclassics model Is a disaster too.
So, both models wrong but Aeroclassics seems a piece of "modern Art" despite than a diecast model!
 
This time, Mach Birdz and HX collaborated to launch Qantas 5-engine 747.

Two holes on the underside of the wing allow for easy installation or removal of engines, enabling it to be configured as a 5-engine or 4-engine aircraft.

The only drawback is that the fifth engine is a standard engine and lacks a separate design.

Small Black Friday Haul, but an important one for me.

Firstly I present the Aeroclassics PIA Cargo 707-320C AP-AXA. 20251218_174718.jpg
Lovely model, although it lacks the wing escape markings it should have, since PIA would switch it between pax and cargo when needed. She accompanies her sister release AP-AZW quite nicely.

Next is a model that I had been searching desperately for, the NG Gulf Air L-1011-100 A4O-TY. Only available on eBay for a ridiculous sum, Jetcollector had 2 copies at MSRP, perhaps the luckiest find of the year for me!

Rather interestingly, despite being a mid 2021 release, this model came with a CRP card, however the code does not work.

I desire more NG L-1011's, waiting for that approved Royal Jordanian L-1011-500, and maybe a ANA Mohican re-release with a proper polished belly 🤞

Beautiful, the Gulf Air TriStar Is a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing.
 
Last model this year (certainly before Christmas) I suspect and it’s a Aeroclassics, Airbus A300 F-WUAD in the old Airbus colours. Main reason for this purchase is that its very similar to F-WUAB which is the A300 that you can walk through at the Aeroscopia Museum in TLS - a very enjoyable aviation experience and thoroughly recommend.

This is also model number 399 across all scales in my collection.
