I own 1,526 models made by Aeroclassics, which probably puts me in the top 10 customers for the brand globally. Certainly, I am obviously a massive fan of their models, if not their owner. He harps on about a lack of innovation in the scale, which is nonsensical, but where is the innovation from Aeroclassics? Well they've recently made a couple of A320s with the double-bogey, fitted only to some of the Indian Airlines 320s. That is innovative, but are they any good?
The IL-18 was a contemporary of the Britannia, Vanguard and Electra as one of the few big turboprops to see the light in the period when pure jets were beginning to take hold. In 400 scale the type has received more attention in recent years so I have updated this wishlist to reflect recent production. Even so, there remains a decent number of possibilities for the type. Read on for a look at what is left to be made.
