The 2nd Return of HYJLwings

HYJLwings has long been one of my favourite brands. Beginning in 2016 they pioneered the creation of the first great A321 mould in 400 scale. By 2020 the brand was dormant, but that year it reappeared and in their second phase they branched out to produce models using some NG moulds as well as their A321. This came to an end in late 2023 and in mid-2024 they announced the end of the brand and its replacement by Aero Polaris. That isn't the end of the story though as now HYJL is back again, and ready for phase 3!

Check out this swanky new intro video from HYJL:

I've written a lot about HYJL in the past here at the site, including a full two part history of the brand covering the two distinct phases they had been through. For those histories see:

HYJLwings: Phase 1 - 2016-2019

HYJLwings: Phase 2 - 2020-2024

June 2025 Announcements

The first new announcements by HYJL were made on June 22 and consist of 4 Asian A321s as follows:

The Juneyao A321 is especially welcome as the only version of this made to date is an old Phoenix edition with the wrong colouring.

SUMMARY

With HYJL Wings back again and Aero Polaris going strong that is two more quality brands in the China market, but in this case both are using their own moulds and not farming production out to Panda or JC Wings. It's definitely worth keeping an eye on what they are up to and I'll do my best to keep you informed.
