Nippon Darts: A NAMC YS-11 Wishlist

The NAMC YS-11 is a type easy to ignore by Western collectors but that shoul;dn’t be the case as it served widely and for some major and colourful non-Japanese airlies. Although there are 3 available moulds and there have been over 25 releases there is still plenty of potential for this rather forgotten type, especially for US airlines.

The YS-11 has 3 available moulds, of which the most likely to be used is probably the Gemini Jets / JC Wings example. I have recently reviewed the YS-11 in 400 scale so if you haven’t seen that check out that review:

Here are 21 options for further usage covering some major flag carriers and independents:

United States

Elsewhere

Asia

Prototype
