I have jumped onto the HX bandwagon, and I am not sure I will be getting off any time soon. First was their outstanding 744 mould and now the MD11. What a beauty she is.

The blue on her is noticeably darker than my JC WINGS 744. That said, I do feel HX's colour is closer to the real thing. Looking forward to much, much more from HX.

Here she is resting after a long delivery flight from Guangzhou.

Gorgeous bird!!! I can only hope for more great releases like this one.

Latest arrivals.

I'm joining the YY wings KLM MD-11 mania. This model is amazing. I just read the discussion on KLM blue and, yes it might be a bit dark but it's minimal. Everything else makes up for it.

I hope they bring out the web title colors on the MD-11. Some Martinair and CityBird would be awesome.

GJ EMB-195. My first Azul and 195 in my collection.

JC ATR-72-600 Caribbean Airlines. I waited a while before getting this one mostly because of the windshield placement. Found it at a lower price so I thought I'd get it and do a little windshield makeover.

71-0874/10874 by AeroClassics. I saw her sister ship, 71-0877, on display at Scott Field Airpark this past Christmas, so adding this one to my collection was a no-brainer.

Overall, the mold and printing are decent. As usual with AeroClassics, there are a few minor caveats: some assembly was required for the main gear, but it wasn't too bad. If anything, it allowed me to snap a few in-flight photos before regluing em

I continue to find surprises with China and Far East models: Juneyao Airlines A320-200 B-6717 by Phoenix.
Now i would like to have Juneyao Airlines B787-9, a common view at Rome FCO.

Another New arrival:

It’s okay looking. That’s all… I got it for a good price and wanted more stuff from this era so a good pickup.

The nose… But other than that I guess it’s fine. I really want the NG MD-88 though.

I’ll replace this someday if NG makes one. Yes the nose but also those horizontal stabs…looks like a crazy trim setting lol

The one antenna GJ uses on these really annoys me just for the sake of saying the model has Ariel’s. Either do them all or none at all.

Nice and among the most underrated Delta liveries, placing in the middle between Widget and latest one. Great the flag on the tail but maybe few contrast with the grey belly and the Delta "snow White".

After three months, I finally received my @3D Design Deck Northwest Mesaba Dash 8! My expectations were super high once the momentum got going on their shipment, but even still I'm blown away by how good it is. Way better than the JC/GJ mould. Even the bonus items were nice - the expected cones and the tower (designed after an existing airport or custom made?).


Here are some other angles too since I believe I'm the first collector here to receive mine:
