What a disappointment about the color. Don't think I've ever said this about an NG model before, but I'll wait for someone else to do it better. I'll hope that they correct it for the upcoming 73Gs, but considering that countless people told NG they got the color wrong on the SWA MAX8 yet it...

I'd be down for a TWA Tristar since I missed their previous ones. N26xxx, N22xxx, N41xxx should be the three Southwest Heart livery 73Gs that were announced as future releases. Been looking forward to those but am tempering my enthusiasm until we see how the colors turn out.

Here's the 319 and 320 together. I had the 319 arrive a couple weeks ago.

My DL A320 arrived yesterday and I had much the same reaction. It basically looks fine in person. Is the window line a smidge high? Yeah probably. But not enough to be bothersome for me.

Just two definites for me: N863GT and the Delta 738. The Southwest MAX7 is a maybe, depending on whether they've corrected the shade of blue used for the Heart livery. If it's still the way-too-dark shade they used on their recent MAX8, I'll pass.

I'll third the choice of the Cathay Tristar from NG, as both my favorite 2023 release and 2023 purchase. There wasn't really an obvious winner for me this year like there was last year with the NG Delta Tristar. So it does feel a little cliché to pick another NG Tristar, but what can I say...

May not qualify as a resurgence, but they did 2 747SPs this year (TWA and Air Mauritius), after not having made any since 2017 at least according to DiMA.

Some good stuff here albeit nothing I'm over-the-top excited about. Good to see the Southwest heart 73Gs finally getting done. Will be getting a couple of those and the Delta 738 for sure, and probably N863GT as well.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking about these. All the new molds are super exciting and everything, but I'd also love for them to rerelease some of the 757s from their early days that myself and I'm sure many others missed out on.

Two recent additions to the retro fleet: Delta 757 in the Ron Allen scheme from NG, and USAir BAE-146 from Gemini. Like a lot of people, I was never a big fan of the Ron Allen livery at the time it was in use. But it does fit my 80s/90s criteria and I didn't have it in the collection at all...

Delta A319 is very welcome for me. On the fence about whether to get another Spirit A320. NG have definitely been on a Spirit kick. And although I won't be getting it since it's well outside my criteria, that Argentine 757 is going to look really nice; looking forward to seeing pics of it.
