Very excited for this il-76! Mould looks like an marked improvement to what is out there. Hopefully potential for many an addition to my 1986 European diorama. Aeroflot, Iraqi Airways, Libyan Arab Airlines, Syrian Air in their original schemes would be beautiful.

Beautiful, but my fingers remain crossed for a classic lettuce sandwich -200.

I'll reach out to him! I've got no issues designing the artwork myself, it's high quality printing that seems the greatest hurdle. Thank you for the suggestion.

If anybody happens to have a contact that is able to deliver high quality printed decals?

Yes, resin is certainly the way to go. Unfortunately in the UK I've had some quotes back at GBP20+ per print, which is rather steep for what will effectively be a trial run. My next step is to reach out to some vendors through alibaba as they may be more cost effective, albeit with a larger MOQ.

@LeoMuse747 - Unfortunately work has rather taken over the past few months, and going into Winter here in the UK means I've missed the window for any airbrushing outdoors as the temperatures are simply too cool, and the air too damp. I'll post an update shortly with progress on the decals across...

Emirates 727 will be joining the collection for the mid-80s display. Looking forward to seeing it, especially alongside JC's recently announced UAE 707.

Here I was holding out for NG to release those iconic chocolate swiss MDs, but having seen the PHX iteration, my patience has caved. Looking forward to these additions.

Well my fingers and toes are crossed. I've got a mid-80s diorama that could use some variety beyond commercial.

This is incredible. My fingers are crossed for some more private jets in the near future. Gulfstream IV, Learjet 35 especially. Plenty of private and government applications available.

Do we have any verdict on the mould for the md-80 releases. Deciding whether to keep holding out for some NG euro classics, or take the plunge on this?

I'd say most of NG's early, classic L1011s would be considered rare - not necessarily because of production run size, but scarcity of how often they come to market. I'd add to the prior list the British Airways Negus exampe, with 'British' titles. As for GJ, rarest GJ model I manage to grab was...

Ah, that's a shame as I was hoping for the darker blue cheatline livery the fleet adopted in the mid-70s. Oh well! Hopefully the mould is a cracker, and I'm sure it'll be on the release list, alongside Interflug, LAM, Cubana, etc.

Do we know which livery the Aeroflot IL-62 will be wearing?

Any news on the moulds or further photos?
