It was a sad day when earlier in the year HYJLwings announced they were stopping production, however at the time of the announcement they also said that they had sold their assets to a new company to be called AeroPolaris. This company has been making some quite grand claims, so let’s take a look at what they are saying now they have announced their first models.
The links between Aero Polaris and HYJLwings seem quite tenuous. Although they are using the old HYJL Instagram account, so far the approach from them is not similar and I know the old owner of HYJL is not involved. HYJLwings owned their own A321 mould, but so far Aero Polaris appears to be creating its own new moulds, with the A350 and 737-800 announced. Whether they still have access to the original A321 is unclear.
So far Aero Polaris have made two separate sets of announcements.
A350 Announcement
Back in August Aero Polaris posted on WeChat a long marketing spiel about their new A350. It is perhaps just the translation to English from Chinese, but the whole piece reads rather grandiosly and slightly entertainingly. Here’s a sample of what they said:
“We are thrilled to announce the official release of AeroPolaris’ brand-new 1:400 scale Airbus A350 model! This model is not only a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence in aviation model craftsmanship but also a heartfelt gift from AeroPolaris to all aviation enthusiasts.
Challenges in Developing the 1:400 Scale Airbus A350 Model MoldIn the process of developing the 1:400 scale Airbus A350 model, we encountered some unique challenges. These challenges not only tested our technical abilities but also required us to achieve perfection in every detail. Accurate Reproduction of the Aircraft’s Lines: The design of the Airbus A350 features complex curves and aerodynamic characteristics. Reproducing these details at a 1:400 scale proved particularly difficult. We had to use high-precision engraving techniques and advanced mold-making processes to ensure that every line was accurately represented. Detailing at a Miniature Scale: At a 1:400 scale, many details are extremely small, but they are crucial to the overall effect of the model. For example, the small components on the aircraft, landing gear, wingtips, and engines must be replicated using precise molds and high-quality materials. This required AeroPolaris’ mold craftsmen to possess exceptional manual skills and patience.”

AeroPolaris models will be crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and lasting value as collectibles. Whether displayed in a showcase or treasured as a valuable collection or gift, AeroPolaris models offer exceptional value that you won’t want to miss.

737-800s
All had been quiet from Aero Polaris until October 12th when they announced they would be announcing their first 6 models in another funny post (it is probably just the translation to English but these are great in terms of the hype):
“AeroPolaris will present six 1:400 scale AeroPolaris excellent products, which will be presented at 20:00 on October 19, 2024. The Polaris model will be presented at a brilliant moment.”
As they said, once again with lots of feeling:
“The X 2024 Series from AeroPolaris unveils six brilliant 1:400 scale AeroPolaris models, marking the official start of the brand’s shining moment!”
Disappointingly, once again the only images provided of the models are fake and clearly using AI rendered images. I’m not sure why they have gone down this route as the AI generated images only undermine their credibility in my opinion. I wouldn’t trust the images at all as a true representation of the final products.
“Each AeroPolaris product not only strives for perfection in design and craftsmanship but also showcases remarkable elegance in its packaging and additional features. Every AeroPolaris model comes with:Exclusive Limited Edition Certificate 1: Featuring aurora-inspired colors paired with the product’s theme color, each certificate is uniquely numbered, highlighting the distinctiveness and collectible value of every AeroPolaris model.
Magic Flip Box 2:Inspired by aurora colors as the main tone, the elegant Velcro packaging is paired with the product’s theme color. It not only protects your model but also enhances the unboxing experience, showcasing premium quality.
Custom Display Stand 3:AeroPolaris, in collaboration with AIRLINE Manufacture, has created a custom display stand exclusively for AeroPolaris models. This stand perfectly showcases every detail of aviation excellence, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience.”
