Yu ModeL New Airbus A300 First Look

[Theresa apocalypse222222]

i have already informed the owner of YU about the AB6 mould issue; the current releases are still going to use the current mould. however in the future, they plan to make a new fuselage mould for the -600.

That's great
Any idea on the timeline for the new - 600 mould?

it would take some time as YU needs to make some profit before creating the new mould

He's known about this since he began his A300 development. YU is a small company and the owner is in his 20s. They are not going to be developing new castings quickly and they already have a Tu-104 and Tu-124 they are working on, which'll be first and I wouldn't expect to see before mid-2026 at the earliest

Got it
Wondering thus whether it'll be prudent to replace ACs '-600's' until then - hopefully of course the other details will be top notch looking at the photos
The A300 is perhaps my all-time favourite twinjet widebody . So yeah I wouldn't mind duplicates, but will really need to be top-class.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Well the Aeroclassics 600s are no more accurate, but it's definitely prudent to see how these turn out first.

Right.
My 2 preferred stores don't have them for pre-order
And didn't want to take the trouble to from other stores.

I held off on the recent AC AA
I think only that and the MU/CA hybrid would be of primary interest - as I have AC versions of the others I'd want iirc

Let's see

Anyone have any release/shipping updates on these?

Sorry, no info. I picked up all the recent AC A300s and was very pleased with all of them, so gave up on watching for updates.

BROS! After reading about this upstart model company, I decided to pre-order that gorgeous Air Niugini A300. That bird... it speaks to me... on a spiritual level.

I wonder if anyone knows the original artist or designer of that bird. It's so pure.

Glad you asked this as it's something I've always wondered about too but never explored - I did some quick Googling - check the PDF link - inflight Air Niugini magazine from the time has a detailed account - the graphic designer was John Devereux - who developed it from a sketch from the airline's in-house graphics department.
