Questions and answers

Why was Joon shut down so quickly?

It turns out that the Joon brand actually weakened the parent Air France brand instead of complementing it. This led to the decision to close its operations after only two years of operation.

Is this model suitable for children?

Due to the fine workmanship and the 1:500 scale, this model is more intended for adult collectors and modelers. For children's play, we recommend more durable models on a larger scale.
