My final model for the year arrived yesterday (I only got to the post office today). Surprisingly, this 3D Design Deck Impulse Airlines Beech 1900D isn't the smallest aircraft in my collection.
I do have the NG Air Greenland A330-800 arriving either today or tomorrow, however, I will be opening it on Thursday so I have a nice round 25 models in 2025.

Looks amazing! Is shipping (postage) expensive for shipping to Australia?

It was about $30 CAD tracked shipping to Australia, which was around 75% of the cost of the model itself
Such a nice looking little bird!!!

Final Arrivals of 2025
Chosonminhang Tu-154 P-551 by NG Models, through the CRP Exchange. A little outside of my criteria but since PIA did offer training to Chosonminhang back in the 70's, it wouldn't be out of the question have seen this in Pakistan. More Tu-154's please NG, sitting on such a good mould is a travesty.
CAAC Il-62 B-2024 by Phoenix. CAAC flew the Il-62 from Beijing to Karachi then onward to Bucharest and back, occasionally switching around with a 707. Great model, although I have had trouble with the fitment of the extended rear strut. I look forward to the upcoming Interflug and Tarom Il-62's

This is my first model of the year, and also the third aircraft in my Soviet/Russian collection — an Aeroflot Tu-134A by Panda Models. It’s currently the smallest aircraft in my collection, but the detailing is quite good, and it pairs nicely with my Tu-154.
That said, I did notice something a bit odd about the nose landing gear. It looks as if a rod was inserted first and then two tire halves were slipped on. However, it’s not very noticeable unless you look closely. Unfortunately, this mold doesn’t seem to be in use anymore.

tires are weak point of Panda's Tu-204 and Tu-134

I believe the tires got updated in later releases of the Tu-134. The LOT Tu-134, which I think was part of the most recent releases of Panda Tu-134's seems to have proper tires on it now instead of what we've seen on the Aeroflot Tu-134. I can compare both the Aeroflot and the LOT Tu-134's once I get home to showcase the new gear updates

Comparing the Aeroflot Tu-134 from 2021(?) and the LOT Tu-134 from 2024, the gears now have proper hubs and axles.

Herpa. Herpa is not so bad regarding 1:400 scale. Mainly plastic made models but the quality is nice in my opinion, of course placing the manufacturer at fourth - fifth place after NGModels, Phoenix and Gemini and some other manufacturers (maybe Aeropolaris or YY Wings).
CSA A220-300 OY-FYD
Have a look to the real airplane compared with Herpa model.
Maybe: too light red and misplaced cockpit windows, too low respect the real airplane.

I agree the cockpit window printing could be much better but this actually looks like a significant step in the right direction as far as 1:400 A220s go. The nose gear looks much better to me than Gemini’s recent attempts.
