Whatever happened to Jet-X BAE146-300 Ansett NZ

This is model number JX334 - the 80's 'Shooting Stars'. Did it go on sale? Is it going to go on sale?

I have received 5 of the 6 of that series. I called the JetX distributor asking about it. They did not receive it either. Was this one designated as a "club model" by chance?

They never did this one. Maybe later? The only ANZ BAe146-300 one was this one

As far as I am aware, the club model is supposedly the Australian Air Express 146-300 with the "blue titles and logo" and maybe the Ansett demonstrator with registration G-WAUS, perhaps someone can confirm this for me. I have 8 so far of the 9 146's released so far Aussie planes.
I think there may be some confusion in the way the model description is listed, as i have seen the terms shooting star, streaming star etc used for the tail markings, and all have stars on the tails!! 80's livery was stars with coloured bands, early 90's was flag tail and late 90's was "A" logo.
can't say I have even seen a Ansett NZ in 400 scale anywhere with shooting star livery.

When Brian first announced the Ansett 146’s, the Ansett WA and Ansett NZ shoorting stars were to be packaged in a special double pack. Subsequent to that he said that the doubled pack would included two Ansett NZ 146’s in the shorting star livery – a -200 and a -300. He also said they were to be regular releases.

The packaging was to be based on an Ansett NZ brochure. All the other Ansett 146’s have a different design on the box, and it could be this special box that has meant the Ansett NZ shooting star are not making it to the distributor at the same time as the others
