 Creating an entirely new mould with limited resources and a factory new to 400 scale models is a big ask and the gestation of the YU ModeL Airbus A300 has been incredibly lengthy (although still shorter than the JC Wings A310!). It certainly has tested the owner of YU and he has now made a decision that should see the production of the A300s speed up and be of a much higher quality.

 The gestation of the new YU ModeL A300 mould has taken a little while, but it is important to remember that YU are a much smaller company than any of the major players. Their ability to produce a new mould at all is a testament to them, as the majority of brands are happy to just use existing moulds from other manufacturers. YU have reached out to me to say that the first three models are nearing completion and will be hopefully available for preorder this month or early in January.
The Shanghai Airplane Model Exhibition and Sales Fair is underway in China running across August 16/17th at the Gubeiwan Hotel. I wish I was there, but sadly it's a bit far to go! Several of the new Chinese brands have tables present - including C Model, Patriot Models, YU ModeL and HX Models. Thanks to friends I have been provided with some photos from the show, which not only show off new releases but also new mould samples too!
