Ok, here are my shots at the VH registrations.
TAA DC-9-31 - I am honestly surprised that one hasn't been made. It is a serious gap in my TAA collection, and I just don't want to spent money on the inferior versions already made.
Qantas 707-300B - Although one has already been made, it was 19 years ago. Time for a remake?

Impressive model!
A bit unrelated but is this model known to have zinc rot? Seems like a lot of the early AC 707s were known to suffer from it.

I do not think anybody has reported this model with zinc rot. Having 14 707s or 720s from this period with zinc rot; this model looks 100% clean.

My god, I am jealous... I have never even seen one of these for sale, I wish I was collecting back then!

Blimey, lovely suggestions here! I just found that Qantas 707, a good friend has put it aside for me. Released in 2003! Wouldn’t say no to another with a ‘real metal’ belly though! That TAA DC-9 is also gorgeous! I was thrilled when I located the A300 & one of the B.727-200’s in this scheme (there were two reg’s of this made).

Looks like we might be getting it!

The very early AC 707’s took the hit in late 2002 - early 2003 I believe, on the earlier series mould which was very short-lived

My goodness... I wish I could get my hands on the 707. Congratulations on finding one! I am still hunting down the A300, I have one of the 727s packed away.

Thanks - it turned up by accident! They always do. I would welcome another especially with the ‘real metal’ finish, would give you another chance too! That A300 is a tough bugger as well. Again, another unexpected find. Hope you track one down eventually. It went fast when originally released in that 6-model set.

It does make me wonder too now. Either way my wallet’s in trouble especially if there’s seven N regs.Both Purpleplane and Skippy have bingos, and the only item that is the same in both lists is the gravy 737.
Food for thought...

Excellent. I got a bingo 2 months in a row now.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure on that.

I'm going to keep guessing. Southwest 737-Max 8s N871HK in gold and N872CB in canyon blue.
More bingos, we have a great release ahead next Friday!
