| 55114 -Air Tahiti Nui A340-211- now available We bring you a paradise feel with this Air Tahiti Nui A340. This is a new airline with only one aircraft that operates between Narita, Los Angeles, and Tahiti. Since its introduction into service in 1998, this aircraft appeared in a lot of magazines due to its colorful livery. The aircraft was leased from Air France, and still bears Air France's registration number. The imprint is rather difficult with a wavy fuselage and fading wave-like lines. Even the winglets are imprinted with flowers. The windows of this model have 0.13mm frames, no other 1/400 manufacturer would offer this feature. The wheels are pre-fixed, and a new blister introduced to reduce damage in transit. We do listen to constructive criticisms, and don't give out excuses. The new features are in response to the many e-mail from our supporters that want us to be perfect. |

55087 Northwest Cargo B747-2J9F - now available The first Northwest Cargo B747 in any model. The fuselage is in bare metal, and not polished. So we use 'Metal Magic' again to replicate this aircraft model. Unlike Bvlgari, this model has an aluminum look. The nose section has the nose door and HVMC markings (so detail you can miss it) imprinted. The 'Northwest Cargo' logo wraps around the belly, and covers some of the wing section. We introduce bare metal look on the wing box as well as the tail wing box, previous releases been gray in color, another step ahead. The fuselage cargo door is imprinted. The APU cover is in gray color, with detail on the right side APU air intake. Some Northwest Cargo are real cargo plane, some converted from passenger plane. So, the number of location of the windows are different. Some has Northwest/KLM logo, our's has not. |

55093 Virgin Express B737-430 - now available Virgin Express is a subsidiary of Virgin Atlantic that service inter-Europe routing. Based in Belgium, Virgin Express uses B737-300 and B737-400 planes, and is gradually replacing with an all -400 fleet. This is our second B737-400 model. We've reduced the height of the landing gears so that the engines are closer to the ground. The size of the nose gear doors been reduced, the engines tilted 5 degrees upwards. The location of the port and starboard front doors are slightly offset, this can be viewed clearly from one of the photos. The wheel hubs are also painted red. OO-VEF is received from a previous owner, and has no Belgium flag on the fuselage. However, a EC marking is included. |

55088 Alitalia B747-243B "Bvlgari" - now available Alitalia's "Flying Billboard" version 2. I-DEMS B747-243B is an all passenger plane, unlike "Baci" which is a combi. The livery was painted in 1998 and this aircraft serves the Rome-Narita route. The aluminium finish of this plane with a "Bvlgari" watch gives it an extraordinary appearance. Our model features the aluminium look, another version of our "Metallic Magic", besides chrome AA and hand polished Pan Am. The different metallic finishing on a small scale model airliner is technologically difficult to do, and it is a very expensive process. Other airline model manufacturer would like to stay away from this process. The wrap-around watch on our model is printed with Hi-Image technology, same on the real aircraft. Our fairing also has the aluminium look. The GE engines are imprinted with Alitalia markings, except one (same with the real plane), maybe this is Italian humor? We might not run another production of this model in future due to difficult production and cost. |
