Yu ModeL New Airbus A300 First Look

[Airmath]

These 2 were released a couple of months ago or so, so they carry the old gear.

Yes ideally it should have the revised gear upon release

I was asking because the online shops where I usually buy planes haven’t received them yet (I’m in France), and so I didn’t know if they were "officially" released (I haven’t looked for other shops to see which ones sell them)...

I also wonder if, as manufacturers send the models to shops, corrections can be made along the way on the copies, without waiting to apply them to the next livery, even though I doubt it.
Rather, I imagine that manufacturers probably have to produce all copies of a model in one go before they ship...

If the Dan air (even though I’m not interested in this one) and the following have improved front landing gear, it would be great !
I’m also looking forward to see how YU’s mold with this correction will compare to Phoenix’s !

Dan-Air will be coming along with the new landing gear.

Also have a new mold, TU-124 (Purely don't want to make a new post, so I'm putting it here too).

Damn it has been a looong time since we last saw it

I knew that nose section was weird, but this pic totally rubs it on my face. The whole radome and lower part of the fuselage look too short IMO.

The nose gear correction looks good, better than the old, but I also think the main gears could be slightly shorter.

and funny to see these big engines on the A300

Now I understand why they are photos was labeled "JOKE".

It's alright, after all, the A330 is derivative of the A300, so it's not a problem for it to help carry the engine to grow up.

An idea...
If YU could sell the new front landing gear as a spare part separately, so that we can try to replace it on the first versions, at least for those who would be willing to take the risk of such a delicate modification...
Because it’s frustrating and a shame not to be able to benefit from this change on models already purchased, especially if we plan to buy the following corrected ones : the two versions will clearly stand out if they are placed side by side.

This would be perfect for hot and high airports... a true STOL A300

Nice ones! I didn't know Air Macau had a passenger A300, so I did a research. They got this bird in 2006 and, by 2007, she was already being converted to freighter.

Macau 306 coming nicely home, last missing piece in Asian widebody!

They need to do something about the gear spacing on the later version -600s. The tires are too far apart.

Indeed. Looks almost like A330 gears

such a large issue, I messaged them multiple times and they finally said they will refine it in next batch, let's see if they correct it. IMO this is one of the most distinct characteristics of the A300
