New Arrival: March '25 Aeroclassics

4/21/2025

Aeroclassics has had great momentum lately that goes back to November of 2024. I've been compelled to take a chance on at least 3-4 models per month from the unique model company. March of 2025 was no different, I've picked up four of the eight offerings, and I have another tag along scheduled to arrive in the coming days with April's allotment. Aeroclassics continues to offer interesting liveries on several unique castings. For a closer look at the models from March, read on...

At then end of 2024, Aeroclassics was making models at a rate of about 9-12 models per month, August saw 7 models. 7 were made in September, 9 in October, 13 in November, and 12 to finish the year. 

In 2025, there were 8 in January, 7 in February, and then 8 in March. With 8 models coming up in March, that averages out to about 9 models per month. 

In each of those sets, there has been a diversity of both airline, and airplane type that rivals nearly every other manufacturer in 1/400. But the other manufacturers are now encroaching on the sacred space of AC each month as new alternative moulds are being produced rapidly. 

This March set features six airlines on two different castings, and a spare cargo/military transport. Of the 8 options, I selected two A300s, and two 767-200s.

Both of these castings have had their time at or near the top of their categories, but both look to be on borrowed time. Yu Models is finishing the development of what looks to be a really nice new A300 casting. And Panda, which has proven their growth potential with a new 767-300, and 767-400 mould, look to be ready to begin production on a shortened version. But even with those castings ramp up production, when are we likely to get a Balkan, or Seychellois 767?

Notes:
Put of my last four or five orders of Aeroclassics, none have had as many issues as this lot. The Air Seychelles just has the flat wrong coloration. The shades are far too light. What's worse is that not only is the VARIG have a cheat line that it too dark, but both A300s are affected by the new rash of 'wavy wings' coming out of the Aeroclassics factory. While I'm trilled about the diversity, and the opportunity to bolster several of my fleets, these production issues are put these models from top tier to nearly bottom of the barrel. Here's to hoping the April offerings are better. Before wrapping this up, I need to give credit to Jetcollector.com, they did a great job of putting my order together, and making sure it arrived safe and sound.
