Default Missing Europeans

Can anyone shed any light on why 1/400 manufacturers have not released the
Vickers VC-10 and Illyshin IL-62 and to some extent the Trident ???

I know Aeroclassics released a VC-10 a few years back and they are now rare as hen's teeth.

I would have thought that they would be an extremely popular model no matter what the livery!

And while I'm on it... Is there any glimmer on the horizon as far as Cathay Pacific allowing models of their fleet to be produced?

Well, first, most model manufacturers are USA-based.
Second, they cater to a mostly American market.
Third, no US airline utilized any of these airframes.

Which is why we have an AC/BB, a DW, a GJ and even a HW 767, three different 777s and A340s but zero Tridents (which I, too, would love to see).

You are welcome.

My collection has many non-US airframes and airlines. As far as ex-Soviet designs, howabout the classic TU 134?
