Oh yea... That's one cute NW I was waiting for...
I wish either GJ or DW would make this one in 1/400.
I know DW made A320 long time ago, but very bad mould...

Thanks for the photo Stefan!

The mould itself is great, but the gear looks a bit high off the ground. Still beats the Herpa A320 mould by a mile though. Great release by Starjets.

Does it really sit that high?

On all models I´ve seen the front gear was higher than the main gear (this problem is known also on the SJ A320 but not as visable as under the A319), so the model stands too deep with the rear (...or too high with the nose).
Cause I want not to lower the front gear (I don´t like too 'damage' the models), I decided to higher the main gear by putting just some thin plastic parts under the gear, which is not visable and makes the model now standing correct!
