..A dissapointing model is the Hogan Boeing 787-8 of Air India in 1:400 scale, which only is aviable with flexed wings, so the wings always will be showing and pointed upwarted.. It is also disappointing that, for so far, only Hogan has bring out a Boeing 787-8 of Air India.. So.., It is hoping that in the future other brands, like NG Models, Phoenix or GeminiJets, will bring out a Boeing 787-8 of Air Indiaas well..

As far as I am concerned, the biggest model disappointment is the scale 400 gemini jets air france 777-300er in the new livery, simply because of the mold. I expected a 2024 gemini 777 to use the jc wings 777 mold which is excellent but that air france 777 used gemini jets’ outdated and weak 2016 mold.

NG Models just released several Air France 777-300ERs back in November with the new livery as well as variations for the Paris Olympics, maybe give that a try? The only weakness of the NG 777 mould which I can think of is the cockpit printing. Everything else is probably the best when it comes to 777s in 1:400 scale right now.

@@AirbusA--si4kw the NG 777 lacks the tail fairings and the engine ground clearance could be better but otherwise it is a great mold. I have the Air France 777-300ERs they made but the two standard livery ones are in the 2009 livery which is still flying but the gemini model I am referring to is in the 2021 livery.
