The fokker friendship with the older Indian Airlines colors would also be an extremely good one.
Andrew - please, if you are listening , these i am sure , people will probably kill for. Atleast I will

Well Arindam, I second all the above requests (specially for AK) even though I already have custom made IC B732 (1:400 scale), IC F-27 (1:400 scale), IC HS748 (1:144 scale) and IC A320 (1:200 scale)... Pics below:

I would love that Indian colors A319, having flown those tons of times... infact when I was a jobbie I flew those thrice in a week being a frequent traveller...

Dont be jealous, after all if not JC then atleast I hope AK is reading this and will do the needful to entice us..

Sure thing drop me an email via the email feature on this site and we can share our memories regarding IC amongst other things...

aklein707 · 10-07-2012, 12:58 AM

IC is a wonderful thing!! JC is not; let's not use them in the same sentence.

Those custom models look really great!! Kudos to the artist!!!

Sure thing AK regarding IC, now if only you could do a few of those...

Thanks for your compliments regarding the customs that I posted above, the F-27 and HS748 are my own customs with the latter being made out of a Welsh vacuform kit. The A320 was sourced from Moin using a Hogan donor and the B732 was made by Fernando of WBJets in Brazil...

Phenix621 · 10-08-2012, 09:29 PM

i too would kill for more 1/400 Indian Airlines models. I've been looking for any of them on here, or ebay but to no avail.

karun83 · 10-09-2012, 01:04 AM

Good seems like we are starting to get some positive responses regarding the release of IC models... Keep 'em comin...

AnonCollector · 10-09-2012, 07:04 PM

Count me in for IC models too. There are so many AI releases, but so few IC.

The recent GoAir release was an interesting choice. Indigo is the much larger and more notable airline, but is still unrepresented in 1:400. Go, on the other hand, is interesting for the jelly bean tails, but only one was released, not a whole family of jelly beans. So, I was a little surprised by the release.

The GoAir A320 that was released by AC was in the hybrid colors and without an Indian reg# . So considering it as a goair model isnt fair enough.

picking an aircraft without the full normal livery is another aspect that makes this a surprising release.

I someones wonder why manufacturers choose to model non-standard liveries - hybrid or leased aircraft - when all most collectors want is a regular fleet aircraft. For some bizarre reason, they think these are 'interesting', but by doing those they are severely limiting their sales.
A regular fleet livery would sell far more especially over a period of time when the hybrid/leased scheme is long forgotten.

FLXMCT · 10-10-2012, 01:35 PM

Overall, with the exception of AI, I think all the Indian carriers are not adequately represented in 1/400 as well as 1/200...

JeffinMass · 10-10-2012, 02:27 PM

I would like to see the following.
* United Airlines B747-400f Cargo
* Panalpina B747-400f
* Qantas B747-300
I would also like you to be able sell us all white "blanks"

I generally agree, but I will say that sometimes the hybrid liveries really are interesting. But I can't imagine who would prefer the hybrid to the normal livery in the specific case we're talking about.

mt8667 · 11-01-2012, 07:14 AM

JC Wings, any chance of any Allegheny Commuter Shorts 330/360's?

JeffinMass · 11-01-2012, 10:40 AM

I would like to see the following released in 1/400 scale.

* Air Postale (France) B727-200
* SAS MD-80
* Air Inter A-320, A-321
* Air Inter Mercurie
* Swissair MD-80
* Air Charter A-320
* Empire (USA) F-28
* Piedmont (USA) F-28
* PBA (USA) DC-3

JeffinMass · 11-01-2012, 10:42 AM

I like your list. I guess that when you say "Air Postale" you really mean "Aéropostale", like the one below ?

I don't know if we'll ever see a Mercure made (not Mercurie

), the choice of liveries is extremely limited. And, mind you, if an Air Inter A321 was to be done, I'd prefer Aeroclassics to do the job. The Piedmont F-28 would be welcomed too.

Upkeep · 11-10-2012, 07:41 AM

Just a note . . . Gemini has already done an Air Inter A320. They are quite rare now. I'm not sure if Gemini would be up for a re-release. The current one is very, very nice. I think Rui posted some shots of his here.

GJ did an 1/200 one, but we're still waiting for its 1/400 little brother.

JeffinMass · 11-10-2012, 11:12 AM

I would like to see the following...
* United Airlines B747-400 "Charter" (only one 1:1 exists)
* Transero B777-300, B747-8i
* Delta Airlines B767-400 "Pink"
* Air France B747-8i or f (fantasy)

If this came out in 1/200 i would buy 3-5 of them

My wish list for BAC 111

Fleetlordatvar · 11-13-2012, 10:01 AM

1/200 would be AWESOME

Fleetlordatvar · 11-13-2012, 10:53 AM

As for popularity and market share, AC is not the one with a HK warehouse full of over $260,000 (USD) worth of unsold models which nobody wants (unless you give it away)

are you related to Waffle?

JeffinMass · 11-16-2012, 07:16 AM

If you do have $250,000USD full of inventory, why don't you "unload" them to the dealers
so that they can have "special values"?

aklein707 · 11-17-2012, 05:15 PM

The dealers don't want unsellable garbage; there's enough good stuff on the market not to dilute it with Junk-Crap~

Brussels Airlines · 11-18-2012, 02:05 AM

Does JC Wings will create more 1:500 models? I have now Eva A330 and Etihad 773, superp quality!
I would love to see:

filar39 · 12-02-2012, 01:08 PM

Hello Willy,

Like everyone else - welcome. My simple request to you is to sort out the quality issues with all JC releases which have been and still are the worst in this hobby. I don't understand why it is so difficult to use proper glue when assembling your ranges in manufacture. Recent postings have been pointing to the owner JC just doesn't care about quality control. Like everything else please fix this issue before attempting any of our requests for good releases.

Tamizi TS · 12-09-2012, 09:04 PM

Is there any chance to see this in 1:400? Hope that it'll became reality.

Kitty Hawk 1903 · 12-09-2012, 09:24 PM

Was Indian Airlines the only carrier to have the double bogie main gear option? I would be impressed if a manufacturer went to the trouble of doing this example.

JeffinMass · 12-09-2012, 09:53 PM

Alright JC Willy. Now that you have enough info here to release 1/400s
for the next twelve and a half years, what are you going to do with it?
What are you going to release the following months?
January 2013
February 2013
March 2013
April 2013
May 2013
June 2013
Do any of these months have releases that you got recommendations from here?
If so, which ones? If not, why are learning here? Just curious.

THAI A340 · 12-11-2012, 08:05 AM

It's nice to JC Wings making ten plus models a month in the 1/200 scale and here are 15 suggestions for you.
1. THY A321, 2. Air Baltic 737, 3. Bulgaria Air A320, 4. Ethiopian Airlines 737, 5. RAM 767,
6. Tunisair A320, 7. Vietnam Airlines A321, 8. Air India A320, 9. Air China 777,
10. PIA A310, 11. EL AL 767, 12. Uzbekistan Airways 767, 13. Yemenia A330, 14. TAM A320, 15. Avianca A320 and personal favourite of mine is a Thai Airways A330 in the new livery.

r3500vdp · 12-11-2012, 11:13 AM

Considering his last post is from August, I think that JC and co have put their Willy back in the pants.

GARUDA747 · 12-11-2012, 03:09 PM

Some words from jc willy and nothing since,

Ty-114 · 12-11-2012, 05:46 PM

Hardly surprising since the absolute avalanche of gimmie gimmie gimmie that his appearance unleashed.

plane737 · 12-11-2012, 06:14 PM

According to their FB page, only one 1/400 for Jan '13, ANZ "Hobbit" T7. Several 1/200 releases, go have a look.

Thanks for reminding me. I keep forgetting that there are others scales discussed here other than 1:200.

Agreed, especially since it seems to stem from a neolithic grudge.

Get over it and move on.

aklein707 · 12-21-2012, 10:32 AM

Just stating the facts boys, just stating the facts!
Sadly some are unable to accept the facts!
