Is anywhere currently accepting preorders for these models?

If the rumours are true, and a DC-10 really is in the pipeline, then the promise of a year of classics may be true!

I’m hoping for Swissair in that iconic chocolate stripe, Alitalia in 80s colours, Alisarda, and SAS. Certainly much needed for my Malta 1985 diorama.

As much as I'd love to see NG surprise us with an F-28, this will be the 80 series. That being said, very excited to see what releases roll out first.

Apologies if I missed it somewhere else in the thread, but is there any time line for when we should expect these to release?

A very exciting set of releases! If the mould is sound, those euro editions will certainly be joining my shelf.

Cracking write up. Perhaps an odd question but is it possible to remove the Buran support structures? I assume doing so would simply leave behind small holes. I can't stand the seam line of the opening nose, so some minor DIY plugging the holes may be my best option!

Selecting solely from current and known in development moulds: L1011-500 - British Airways Negus 'British' Titles TU-154 - Syrian Air TU-154 - Balkan TU-154 - Aeroflot (Base 80s CCCP livery, no additional stickers!) MD-81 - Swissair 'Chocolate Stripe' Livery MD-81 - Scandinavian 'Carlzon'...

My most apparent criticism of NG at this time is their seemingly forgotten promise of classics! I appreciate the MD and 741/2 moulds are still in the works, but their excellent Tu-154 mould would do wonders for Syrian Air, Cubana, Balkan, and Malev (just to name a few). Not to mention an...

A cracking array to choose from! Personal highlights for me would be Swissair in the chocolate stripe, and Alitalia. Wild to think both airlines are gone from our skies.

I am assuming that 154 will be in the early 70s delivery scheme? A beautiful model I'm sure, but off by about ten years for me.

The Cubana AN-26 is a delightful surprise, and a good omen that Gemini may find some use for the mould. Would love to see Soviet examples, perhaps a Yugoslav air force edition too.

I'd love to phase out many of my Phoenix 154s, the Aeroflot just happens to be near the top of my list and fits the hint. Would also love an update to the SyrianAir example.

Fingers are crossed that 154 is a Aeroflot bird carrying the classic 80s cheatline.

EgyptAir 767-200ER, preferable SU-GAI. Ethiopian Airlines 767-200ER, preferably ET-AIE. Both would be fantastic additions to my mid-80s European diorama. Excited to see more details about the new mould first however.
