Yu ModeL New Airbus A300 First Look

[Battlecry]

Is the Z2 American Airlines A300 the same as the YuModel American Airlines A300 that was up for preorder months back? I hope not, since I preordered that one from WestCoastDiecast.

Hard to say

Yes that is correct. It does look like the Z2 release of the American example did get to market though. It looks pretty bad thanks to the printing so best to ignore that one, but the rest should be much much better.

@Battlecry That's not to say that WCD will receive those.

I was catching up with the YU A300 situation and came across this Z2 listing on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/157307196580

This is one photo from the listing:




Higher level of detail in some areas, but at the same time, equally detracting drawbacks, unfortunately. It ain't an easy undertaking...

This doesn't look like the YU at all . . . !

I'd say it does to 100% - with a few refinements made to the artwork maybe, but the quality is far from marketability IMO.

Thanks.

 

[YesterAirlines]

Thanks.

Yes that is the release I've seen on Taobao. The printing is poor - but like I said the new versions shouldn't be like that so best to ignore that Z2 release

The leading edge, the nose,..... Amongst other things.....

Absolutely
My reaction was 'ugh'!

New update from Yu Model.

This looks a lot better than the first photos we saw of the A300. Looking forward to seeing how the rest will come out.

the nose / cockpit region . . . . cockpit printing too large

 

[miaoyimiaozhongl]

 

[abdulmohiuddin]

Cockpit windows are a little too low but the model looks way better than the original samples we saw

Whatever issues this comes with given that photo we're still light years ahead of AC.

This is fabulous.
Landing gear could be little more detailed
But yes, absolutely slays the competition.
Hopefully YU can put together their business, slowly yet surely

Makes me want to shave off quite some material from this forehead.

It's a little beluga-ey, needs to be a little more dolphin-ey

Definitely way way ahead of the competition! Looking forward to more releases!
The 'chin' could be a wee bit less bulge-y, as could be the forehead....?
Won't stop me from buying this though! Will be happy to support this company in this effort
