Phoenix made the Air Lanka. It is one I picked up in 2024. Panda don't have the mould and I can't see Kylin making it. NG is probably a longshot too to be honest:

Panda doesn't have an A340 mould? I thought they had already produced a few... Not a big fan of Phoenix's wing joint and glossy colours. Although your copy looks amazing. I may have to bite the bullet.

Panda did, at some point in time they had an A340 mould but they either loss access to it or it fell into disrepair, most likely the former

Lufthansa 100 years 787-9 D-ABPU by NG.
This livery sure is a tough one for the factory.
The lighting in my setup sure is unforgiving and the lines are less prominent to the naked eye, but it shows the major problem with tampo printing: it's not 100% obaque. The white areas are masked off and blue is painted (airbrushed I guess?) and then the exact outlines are defined by applying a blue tampo print.
Still a nice model though. A slightly lighter shade of grey for cockpit wouldn't have hurt I think.
also noticed the misaligned darker grey regions - not seen in NG's release photos.
the white background blur (also not noticeable on NG's photos) - is it visible because of the CRI?
awaiting the arrival of mine along with a few of NG's other December releases

Lots of exciting 'approved' CRP wishes for the 747sp.

Yes, there's some alignement issues on the grey markings, I see them on the official photos as well. Slightly less obvious though.
The blur is due to the mentioned tampo print not being 100% opaque. This came totally expected and I'm sure is also there in NGs pics - vissible if their pics would be better.
I'm using CRI98 lighting and it's also vissible under different light. But like I said, my setup has plenty of light so the pics do magnify opacity issues. MUCH less noticeable to the naked eye.

Hopefully this will be my last model for a while 
got a trip coming this spring and I don't want to spend more money! Anyways here's the Continental Connection Q400 that joined the collection this week. I found this on Grayland Station's eBay shop for a pretty good price - Continental Connection isn't a huge priority for me, but knowing how rare modern-classic Q400s are, this I felt was a worthy addition.
