Rather good month coming up for JC I'd say. Sure, there are the re-released 747s, but let's forget about that for a moment. Other than that, pretty good diversity in terms of airlines and there's some classics as well!

honestly I am very tempted by the an-32 but I don't have much information on this aircraft, I know that it is an evolution of the 26 but I don't know if it was used much by the Soviets. I read that it was exported more than anything else... but I'm tempted, it's particular and has the Soviet flag with CCCP registration

Varig B737-200 was a nice surprise but I'll pass because I have a custom model in the works right now. I'd rather have a Brazilian Air Force VC-96. I actually thought JC was going to release that one, since NG released the A319 ACJ not too long ago.
If only JC had the balls to release a Varig B767-200ER in old colors... it's a much needed model. Only released by AC and in small quantities.
Arajet 737 MAX is also interesting, but I wonder if regular colors wouldn't be better. Was the regular already released?
The re-released 747s are very boring. Thai once again... these can still be found so easily on Ebay.

Was kinda hoping the thai 747 would be the star alliance livery, minus the 15 year sticker.

in addition to the official list, JC has also announced the 747-100 N7470 with GSE set, with they mentioning in another separate IG post but somehow not in the monthly list.
but it's confirmed for future release.

Kinda sad that brands only announce certain models whenever NG has a new mould. Couldn't they see the high demand for 747 classics beforehand? Most of us here are not running a business, but yet can put together release sets that would make a lot more money than whatever manufacturers decide to make these days with their mediocre moulds and copy paste releases.
If JC uses the Bigbird mould, then NG lite is most likely better.

I was going to get the Qantas, but just saw the AV400 release!
The AV400 will be available years before this one, knowing JC.

True. Though I'd pick up B-32G6, the Ethiopian, Corsair and Senegal if they were on the respective NG moulds.
