Looking forward to seeing the results!

It’s pretty simple - I tried something similar with night lighting based on the ideas in this post. I used Gemini (gemini.google.com), as I find them the best for image-related stuff, though ChatGPT and Claude can probably do something similar. I’m not sure what tool @Steven G used. With...

Any updates on when these will ship?

This may also have to do with the fact that United is using Continental's operating certificate today. NXXXUA regs are all pre-merger aircraft.

Some of SQ's A350s have regs once worn by their 747-400s. For example: Current 9V-SMH: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/airbus-a350-900-9v-smh-singapore-airlines/ro1xm1 Former 9V-SMH: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/boeing-747-400-oo-ace-challenge-airlines-be/38pdgr

When are those BA 747s going to ship anyway?

If you have a 787-8 or -9 in the pipeline, I’d love to see some United; particularly the post-merger livery

I saw another post on here about using AI to generate landing contrails, and I thought I’d try something similar. Here’s night lighting for some of the same photos I just posted, courtesy of Gemini:

After my VOBG project, I decided to take up something a little more ambitious. On and off over the last several months, I’ve been working on a significantly larger diorama. While it’s not complete yet, this weekend I reached a milestone and was eager to get some planes on it, take pictures, and...

I’d also take the last Northwest livery (the silver one), though Bowling shoe is a must for me. Same with United - I’d love a Battleship 744 (multiple regs even better), but I’d take Rising Blue as well.

Not to mention persistent quality control issues with the models they do manage to deliver. The last three or four JC models I’ve bought have had some problem or the other.

One can hope the B-XXX is a CX 744, but dollars to donuts it's another Air China...

Hopefully they’ll do the PAX 744 in this livery as well

Any updates on when these will ship out?

Or you have a predictable release cycle like NG does
