Retroguy

Hello all, again.

As promised and as mentioned before in Mojns thread, here they are, pictures showing in detail the amazing out-of-the-factory INFLIGHT200 Airbus A350 model, a special Farnborough Edition, in low pass configuration! Yes, flaps down, no gear !

Fear not, as I have been told by the good people from INFLIGHT ( they were all there at the ARD stand, great to meet them !!!!!) that another version is coming, flaps down and clean wing with gears.

The model itself was a nice surprise, (I think that as the rest of you, I was also focusing on the coming CV990, I never saw this one coming !)

The mould is beautiful, lots of printed details, the cockpit windows a-la-Zorro well depicted too!
And for the very first time, far from looking toyish, the extended slats and flaps !!! The main feature on this MAX Inflight 200 Edition !
I was told theres more models coming up this year, with this sort of "action" feature, in the new "MAX" series, cant say more, sorry...but you'll see when the time comes, and you wont be disapointed! Mark my words !

But..my favorite part!? the eXtra fine winglets, or sharklets, amazing that they come up with such fine detail in diecast !
Grim looking!? Crude!? Rough!? NO WAY JOSE !

Are you ready then!?...it is with great pleasure that I share with you the newest INFLIGHT200 MAX Series member;

the Airbus A350-900 !!!!!!!

Retroguy

Ah, my favorite detail...check these out!

Retroguy

Now the engines, those huge TRENTS...down to 1:200 !
again, bear in mind that these are extremely close up pictures, so before you guys go saying anything, remember, this is a model, a very good one, not the real engine, ok!?

Darkside

How to say it... This model is clearly awesome ! I don't see any mistake on this model, even the jonction between wings and body is realistic.

Retroguy

...lovely nose !

Retroguy

...Apu detail...sorry, no strobe lights...yet...












Not my best "inflight" shot, but will do one more when time permits:



Looking forward to a TAP A350 in the near future!
Congratulations Inflight200MAX !
Beautiful Model !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AIR FRANCE 340

It looks really fantastic, thank you Rui.

Of course, I'll have to buy it …

Jean Pierre.

Retroguy

Jean Pierre, I knew you would !

panam707

Are these flaps movable, or fixed in place?

Retroguy

they're that good he!?! no, they are fixed, but the day will come when Inflight will have these moving, engines working, strobe lights, interior lighting, one day, ...one day...

Darkside

In fact, only fan rotors seem desapointing...

callume190

The mould is fantastic
Nose looks rather big to my eyes but not much of a problem
It does look a little bare aswell!
Qatar Hybrid would be perfect for me!

I must say that is quite exquisite!! The winglets are pretty well done considering it is very thin and of course diecast! It would be great if IF200 would start making all their models with flaps, but with the possibility to extend/retract them manually.. Soon enough, with today's technology!

AIR FRANCE 340

Don't forget that these photos are very cruel:
They show you what the naked eye can't see.

This model is gorgeous.

Jean Pierre.

Retroguy

Jan, that would be great, can you imagine?!
We talked about having lights as well, like strobes and beacons...the cost is prohibitive!!!
Callume, you're right, the nose air pitots are missing, have emailed Inflight about this already!
Still love the model anyway!

Baerke

She is a beauty indeed! Stunning model and beautiful pics Rui! Seems Inflight is also following the Gemini trend with magnetic gears, great!

Indeed, Jean Pierre is right....in trying to show all the fine details of the model, this is always the negative side, ...
.but trust me, having the model in a cabinet, she will still look great!!!

Fantastic releases this year from Inflight. Inflight is back!

JSchultz

Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos

okapi

Thank you for your excellent pictures!

Sorry to ask again, but is this model available through ARD only?

Best wishes

Pieter666

great pictures,

I wonder which airline would use this great bird for their routes to Brussels...

Darkside

I'm allright with you Jean Pierre, that's why I said it is the only bad point, this model is very collectable and I'll be pride to get it. If you have read what I mentioned above, this model is awesome ! But, dispite fans can be updated, there are first compressor rotor behind !

dash7

If only carbon livery is released - A350 with extended flaps is a must for me..

Retroguy

I'm after that one too Its only natural they're going to do it, right!?

Citris717

Looks awesome!

KLawEIA

Holy cow. That looks absolutely incredible. Thanks for posting those pics. I will definitely be ordering one of those, much to the dismay of my Boeing employed family. But that's a pretty plane regardless.

AlphaBravo

Many thanks, Rui! Love it! Your photos are works of art, too--as always!

Travertineeye

Wow. This is looking amazing. I have yet to be completely convinced about just how right the cockpit glazing is, some images show them not quite right. Maybe it's just the pic.

Sorry, the cockpit windows have no glaze like the real bird, they are just printed dark grey.
Wish IF would come up with some new feature representing that, just like on their 787s.
Petroleum blue for the A350 and copper shine on the Dreamliner!

Retroguy

Well, im an Airbus flyer, but that doesnt stop me to keep acquiring Dreamliners!
Theyre both beautiful aircraft models!

Retroguy

Naahhh, you're too kind.thank you.
She will look great with gears in that gorgeous Hangar later, Im sure...

spear.m

Is this a "Farnborough Only" Limited edition or will it be available for general release? Have Inflight created a rare model for those lucky enough to secure one to market on Ebay at an exorbitant inflated price?

Retroguy

They should have some left back at ARD?!
Anyways, theres plenty more 350s coming Im sure!

Air France A340

I'm waiting for the landing gear!

Retroguy

that makes two ! I've been told its a beautiful one too, detailed, in every aspect, not just a set of wheels to place under the wings/nose...
Its about time someone pays attention to this important feature on an aircraft model, be it in flight mode or not.

Icarus757

I wish IF would start making models with retractable wing leading edge and flaps, that would be the holy grail of a collector's dream. I can see the A300 and B 747 with those spectacular features.

Baerke

And retractable landing gears! Saw that nice feature on some 1/250 dc8's from gemini years ago.

sweet looking model and great close-up pics. the look of the A350 has grown on me unlike the 787, and I'm more of a Boeing guy. maybe its the Zorro mask

travsuz

Very nice looking model for sure! I would want the version with gears and ground condition wings. I really hope they do the Qatar/Airbus hybrid version that was at the Farnborough show. Looks fantastic!

callume190

And here she is
Got a few non professional pics and the ET Dash-8 Q400 if you click on the photo and go to the next pic on flickr you'll see the others

YES!! That one above is the one I want modeled!!! Hope it comes!!!

mjabbasi

If it would have been in the Qatar launch customer livery as the one that came to Farnborough, both my friend and I would have instantly grabbed one each but I was told that version won't be made.

Legal stuff behind it....yes...maybe BBoX or any other "box" wants to have a go?!

This is way beyond impressive!!! Thank you Inflight for heralding a new era in 1/200 scale diecast aircraft collecting. Thank you Rui for bringing us that up close and personal with this magnificent model. Brilliant photography as usual.

cheers

Beautiful photos and model Rui. How I wish it was going to be done in the Airbus/Qatar demo livery. I have the Phoenix 400 scale version ordered,but a larger scale would be nice.

OOH NO!!!!! THis is not good news!

mjabbasi

Well as Rui says there are legal issues surrounding it which find a little odd considering that models in the standard Qatar livery are being released left and right.

Beautifully presented! Beautiful airplane! Beautiful model! The new features with the flaps and slats is a breakthru in the kind of models we buy. It will be very interesting to see which airlines will have be the first to paint a unique livery on the A350.

Thanks for sharing with us Rui! This is great news!

Maybe they will release one in the standards Qatar livery then? Surely since they are launch customer.
