Aeroclassics seems to be putting the finishing touches on its recent foray into the 757 side of the 1/400 market. After a total of 10 overall releases, collectors now have a good sampling of their efforts to convert NG built models into main-line Aeroclassics products. While the mould itself has very little to do with Aeroclassics, the paint, printing and overall look of the model are their responsibility. In this review I take a look at one of the four Aeroclassics Boring 757-200 models I've decided to purchase. 

I chose this particular model because I have been slowly working my way into earlier paint schemes but I prefer later made aircraft. This 757 is a good marriage because it ticks both of these boxes. This particular aircraft is rather unremarkable. Perhaps it was a participant in Operation Solomon. The 50th anniversary logos are a nice touch and add a distinctly collectable feature. 

​Many people don't know that these DC-10s were often used on sight seeing tours of the Antarctic. Infamously, flight 901 crashed into the side of Mt. Erebus. Following this accident and the crash of AA flight 191 the FAA withdrew the aircraft's type certificate and the planes were mostly grounded. There's so much more to the story of these DC-10s which helped bring Air New Zealand into the major world markets setting up to be a global competitor today.
