V1:400 Models - A New US 400 Scale Brand

[YesterAirlines]

It's been a long road, but I am excited to be able to finally announce the new 400 scale brand I've helped create - V1:400 Models. Who are they, what will they be making, when will they be available and what moulds will they use? Watch now to get the answers!

Yes yes yes!!! Looking forward to this.

Hoping for some 727 Sterling Airways release in the future!

Begging for a US Airways 762 please! but I think this is where those saul bass hints and others kept coming from. Very Exciting none the less, thanks for helping to choose good to great moulds for these products. Let’s see how they turn out.

any other hints or sneak peak photos from the factories you could share yet?

I like what I'm seeing! Maybe this could put some pressure on GJ to step up their game.. or not.

Hints - me - never

If sales are good then the brand can continue and hopefully more models can get made. I have a decent wishlist for the brand if it goes beyond the first 26 models.

I can't share anything else at the moment as it'll give the models away - I can tell you all the regs are Ns I hope to be able to announce the first 14 in the next week or two.

For a short moment I got excited when reading 727...
But while this announcement doesn't help my hopes for a really good 727 in 400 scale, the 767s will be nice though.

Sorry Alex. I can only do what I can do and I can't magic up brand new moulds out of nowhere. Hopefully you'll apreciate the 767s at least.

But nowhere to be find in Europe. Please correct me if I'm wrong, so I can look to buy it

@YesterAirlines Awesome news! The best is the focus on classics. Hopefully business is good and can start releasing non N-reg models at some point.

 

[JJ Skippy]

If there's a Republic DC-9 in one of the first two releases I'm certain to buy.

C Models - AvMgS and Bedfordshire tend to stock these under Panda - may be listed soon

@YesterAirlines Great,I'd like to ask if these classic models will be available in China (e.g. Taobao)? Thanks.

No they won't, unless someone can put me in contact with some Taobao stores that speak English and pay in USD!

Speaking of, I assume these will be easiest to find in the US (barring the crazy rn)? where are most of the retailers that plan to stock these right now?

@Purpleplane CHECK THIS OUT!!!!

I am currently contacting retailers in relation to getting them onboard, but obviously I would hope plenty of US retailers will stock them. MCC usually distribute from their US warehouse and have a retailer network of their own, but given the current tariff situation it may be most of the models ship to retailers from Hong Kong.
