Aviation400 May 18 Releases: Long & Short A350s

It has been oddly quiet from Aviation400 in 2018 but my understanding is that the people at Inflight, who are behind the brand's resurgence, have simply bitten off more than they can chew. This has resulted in delays as they try and deal with the backlog of releases. It seems 1:400 scale isn't as high in the priority list as it might be. However belatedly AV400 have some new A350s on offer including a new A350-1000.

It was back in December that I covered the new Aviation400 A350 mould. See: A New A350 in 1:400: Aviation400 Joins the Party

Since then I have been waiting for AV400 to release an A350 that I would be interested in acquiring. I had seen a list of future releases at the start of the year but it never got as far as them being advertised so held off talking about them. Now they have a new variety of A350s being advertised on taobao and a couple that have been released.

Some of this delay in production may also be in relation to the minor redesign of the A350 winglets (making them larger and a slightly different shape) and it seems that AV400 maybe going to modify their mould to take these into account. Here are the new releases:

---

A350-900s

The two below are currently announced without registrations but I assume these will be added before release?

---

A350-1000s

Of the models above two of the A350-900s in Airbus house colours are already out:
