Alliance A321s: HYJLwings May/June Releases

HYJLwings is cranking out a steady stream of models nowadays using its A321 mould and the latest batch has settled on Star Alliance and Skyteam house colours for its subject matter. This means it is not just Chinese airliners that feature but also French, German, Canadian and Taiwanese. Let's take a look at them.

I've written about HYJLwings A321s a few times. See:

• HYJLwings New A321s Pt1: In the Flesh
  
• HYJLwings New A321s Pt2: The Releases
  

Plus a couple have had the full review treatment by me at Diecast Flier:

• Unbeatable LR: Airbus House Colours Airbus A321-251NX D-AVZO by HYJLwings
• A New Age: Dragonair Airbus A321-231 B-HTH by HYJLwings

Creating airline alliance colour schemes no doubt means that it is easier to create the artwork for the models and so it makes good sense to slip out a batch of similar but different models at the same time, especially when build totals are so small. In fact for the majority of these models the production runs are limited to 60 units each.

As per usual purchasing these models can be tricky however they are available on taobao and I believe through some shops in Europe (AMS I think) and probably also Threshold in Canada.

As I have previously said the HYJLwings A321 is an excellent model and it has been reviewed twice by myself at Diecast Flier. See:

Star Alliance

For the Star Alliance HYJLwings produces Lufthansa, Air Canada and Eva Air examples:

Skyteam

For Skyteam there are 7 releases. Three are essentially identical China Southern A321s, two are old colours China Eastern, another is new colours China Eastern with the lone westerner being Air France:

These look like another batch of excellent models. For me only the Chinese ones are of real interest however I suspect it is the Western examples that will help improve HYJLwings profile outside of the East.
