Velocity Models 1:400 (by MaxDelta and nathanbennet)
As I previously posted a couple months ago, there will be a new model company called Velocity Models for 1:400 scale. It is being started by James who used to work at Gemini Jets. It is also now official, with the first releases being next year.

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
I can't take all the credit for it but there are some great people working on this with me. We are excited to be able to provide some additional details next month. Thanks for sharing.
I wanted to share some of Velocity Models philosophy from the Facebook page (the regular website will be launching closer to launch date).
Velocity Models is the newest diecast model aircraft manufacturing company specializing in highly detailed 1:400 scale airplane models. Our models feature tampo printed graphics with popular features such as rolling landing gear.
The Velocity Model’s experience doesn’t stop at just the models, even our box artwork is something you will want to display.
At Velocity Models, our goal is to have an open door approach with our customers and collectors. If you have any suggestions, feedback or general comments, please send us a message on our “Contact Us” page or through our Facebook page! We will get a reply back to you within 24 hours.
Velocity Models also wants to connect with you, the customers, on our various social media accounts. Love browsing models on Instagram? Enjoy model airport and model reviews on Youtube? Showing off your collection on Facebook? Click on our “Social Media” tab at the top of the screen and see how you can interact with us and even have us show off your photos!
More details will be provided next month.

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
So that's why the website wouldn't work... Can't wait for more details, and I won't be too greedy but some regional jets would be nice (not expecting any in first set of moulds, but for the future)

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
Great news! Looking forward to seeing a new player in the hobby. Really hoping the Witty/Apollo 747 moulds ended up here. James, best of luck in your new venture, keep us informed.

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
This is what I want.
Dash-7
Saab 2000
BAE ATP
No one had made these models. The Dash would be my first choice.
I have over 3700 models. Been collecting since 1987.
The hobbie is growing stale with the same old same old.
My 2 cents

...popular with who'??  Rolling landing gears on 1/400 models are a nightmare and completely unecessary!

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
Rolling gears definitely make the models better.
And yes a B1900D would be nice.

Re: Velocity Models 1:400
I think rolling gears are here to stay. No more plastic static gear.
