The previous Air Italy had quite a nice livery - will be interesting to see how the rebranding of Aeroitalia into a third Air Italy translates to a distinct visual identity

JC's recent releases are so uninspiring to the point of irrelevance.......? Most are on the weakest moulds amongst the competition....besides being made before... The 707 choice of release, while exciting in itself, is dampened by the fact that both of the 707s released last year by JC had...

This is also part of the models you're making in collaboration with *some brand*......?!! The 3 Saul Bass 762s you've been telling us about.........

The photos don't capture it properly I guess - but the white LH crane swooshes across the airframe through the inky blue. It's quite stunning actually

I was just thinking though, about how similar the colour pallette on DL's & LH's 100 year schemes are - and how both got rid of the accent colours. They could pass of as each other's LOL But yeah we'll have to hand it to LH for making a spectacular 100 Years special scheme - the best thus...

Not been a big fan of their specials - but this one is kinda nice

Hopefully we'll see more AAs from YU as they (fingers crossed) slide into finer, smoother and regular production. This is really fab news.

😍😍😍😍😍 Stunning Stunning Another one on an A350 with some yellow on it? 😅

This is absolutely great news! And it's really worth applauding YU's owner's sense of 'ownership' really - in a market where we hear unfortunate incidents like UC's happening, amongst the deliberate failing quality of certain legacy manufacturers. What I understand is that this is in fact a...

First A321XLR for AC Will be fab for NG to make this - presuming they're making appropriate mould modifications for their Riyadh A321XLR release

E2s may be better.........

Oh you have no idea..... specials sell out in a jiffy.... Across the world. Trust me on this, as I'd delayed picking up the recent ANA 787 Pokémon & 777 Demon Slayer, the Cebu Manila, and the Alaska salmon people..... For instance... I had to scour all the online stores I could before I finally...

Why is actually very clear. Tropicals, along with other 747s, were some of the first approved models on NG's CRP - now almost a year ago. Other companies - JC, HX, Apollo - took this as a sign of demand, and they've actually copied the approved CRP's on NG's wishlist, in a way. It's just a...

I joined the 788 wish as soon as it was made - ET was one of the earliest operators worldwide - and I too have been waiting for NG's - hopefully we see it soon enough - but NG has weirdly dragged its feet on the 788 - no ANA yet?! Can one imagine! But yeah, there's quite a few ANAs approved so...
