Not that I'm aware of. Yu seems to have been concentrating more on Panda and JC exclusives recently

Right yes I recently picked up their CAAC il-18

Ok guys. YU has made contact with me today to say that the first three A300s will be available for preorder soon - possibly before the end of the year. It is no surprise that we're seeing a lot of Aeroclassics A300 rereleases, and I am certain we'll see more this month too. The ongoing issue however remains whether these will be easily available in the West. Hopefully he can recruit some retailers. Heres the latest:

YU ModeL A300 - Nearly Ready / First Releases

The gestation of the new YU ModeL A300 mould has taken a little while, but it is important to remember that YU are a much smaller company than any of the major players. Their ability to produce a new mould at all is a testament to them, as the majority of

D-AIAA would be awesome!
But they sure should look at their artwork again. D-AIAA neither wore these colors nor such titles. That's 1980's stuff and AA left the fleet prior.
Do them 1970's all the way and this model will be a must have.

I messaged him. The issue is the title spacing and size right?

Just looks like 1980's titles, yes. 1970's were different - wider spacing among other things.
Most important however are the wrong looking colors (common issue across all brands)
This artwork strongly looks like the post-1978 RAL1028/5022 while D-AIAA was in RAL1003/5013

I've told him about the titles but you're going to have to provide me with more on the colours - ideally an image comparison - because I'm not really seeing it myself.

I had posted about this here:

NG B747-8 Lufthansa Retro - Pictures

I am considering to return the NG model. The shape is of course better than its JC/GJ counterpart. But the lack of mica grey on the fuselage does not justify a 60+ EUR investment just to replace a great model that is closer to the orginal. Font looks off, too. Left: NG Right: GJ

It'll be impossible for me to get the colour difference across to him so I think I'll leave that sorry. He did respond about the titles though so hopefully it'll get changed

I was looking at photos and the artwork - I guess typeface isn't my strong suit - is it possible for @YesterAirlines & @Phantom to shed some more light?

Loook at the spacing and the width of the lower bar on the L

Type face was slightly different, less bold and wider spaced in the 70's - and in appeared less standardised between aircraft types
Here's D-AIAA:

In contrast, here's D-AIBA is full 1980's:

I (I think) got the message through to NG for their YT so it can be done.
There are RAL color fans (K7) in China, so all that needs to be done is to check airframe date of manufacture:
Pre 1978: do 1003/5013
Post 1978: do 1028/5022

The one real issue I see is customer acceptance: Even though correct, quite a few might complain if two LH models of the same manufacturer and in the same livery had different colors. Personally I'd love such detail.

Got it thanks so much @YesterAirlines & @Phantom

I'd love that detail too - and would get all the possible variants

@YesterAirlines gotta let YU models their AA tail logo is backwards. Also I do believe it has been mentioned before, but how does one acquire these models?

Where did you get that image from?

I'm just talking with him now. I mentioned the AA logo.

Can the first models be pre ordered already? If so, how does one order them to ship to USA? I want to order the Air Niugini

 

[YesterAirlines]

The models are up on taobao and by the sounds of it MyHobbyHouse too.
