One specific example for me is the Delta 763s. All but one in my collection are L1 boarding door only which is prototypical of the fleet as most of those have since been retired. Like I said, when I have the option to discriminate between engines/ cabin configs I can, but for the majority of my...

This is my shot of SJG that I would love time have. Being from ATL, it's quite hard to see many Asian airlines apart from some cargo services. Despite the decent release, I already have two 350s and I am in no rush to upgrade.

The Avelo example reminded me of the older 738s with the ungodly wingflex and weird landing gear. Most 737s since have not been that bad but to quote a recent @YesterAirlines video, the mold is in need for a refresh. It is commonly agreed that NG and Panda have easily passed them up. Hopefully...

More often than not, airlines have different configs for the same airframe, but to the naked eye, it looks the same. Using VS as an example, if I were making a MCO airport, I'd prefer VELJ and VNVR from NG over VJAM and VTEA (AeroPolaris). Of course this is not happening for every airline, but I...

I was looking at a forum so I guess it wasn't 100% correct, but looking at the deliveries, SMV-Z we are delivered after SHE, so like you said there shouldn't be an issue.

To guess your next question, SHE should be the old winglets, and the other two should be the new version.

Negative, these only were a thing once the ULRs were delivered in late 17, early 18. All the ULRs have them, and airframes SMV and on should be the ones that have them.

They “kind of” did this with the Virgin 35Ks as VELJ and VNVR are the more dense configs while VJAM is more premium heavy. I would just be fine with two of each but it’s whatever.

Wow this actually is nice for those who have missed all the Singapore 350s because there is a short haul config (SHE), standard long haul (SJI), and a ULR (SGA). I already have the standard livery and the 10,000 sticker so I’m not in a rush to upgrade.

GJ just ended up getting the whole mold wrong with horrible wing flex that had the wings bent so far high. The problem is that they way they take their sample pictures, details like this are harder to see, so most of us didn’t realize until it was too late.

If I remember correctly I spent $100 on the Phoenix Ethiopian 77W, then I bought the same one again only for $40 during a collection sale. I’ve only seen those things for sale twice and I have both of those. 😂

I feel the same way about GJ. I recently started collecting just after Covid and my DL fleet is extensive despite missing majority of releases because we get a lot of love. The unfortunate part is that I don’t see GJ as my primary manufacturer because their mold are majority inferior, and I’ve...

It kind of sucks that it’s the -800 with splits and also that GJ made it. It was the only one with splits when GJ made it (815VL joined the fleet recently so it isn’t alone now), but I’m genuinely considering getting rid of the model because that mold is god awful.

I’ll be sure to use this as a reference for my upcoming project. Thanks for the help! 🙏
