Aeroclassics January speculations

[Aviation Enjoyer]

My guesses are maybe some DC9's in some smaller airlines and maybe some freight too for the Novembah's.

Would love to see additionally to what I mentioned earlier (PSA 727s in orange & pink / Thai Landor Classic / Delta Widgets)

A300 rereleases of Eastern, American - hoping against hope that an N reg is gonna be one of these
Although not in the hints - but the Transcarga A300 pair - lovely YV regs and a beautiful livery - very 80s-90s vibes - will look lovely on the perfect AC A300 mould - Hopefully in the future @AKlein707 ?

Oh yeah some A300's would be great! Maybe a DAL and PAA A300 too?

Another thought: It might be a good time for Aeroclassics to make another Delta L-1011. They could cash in on the people who missed the NG release but still want a DL Tristar… Just some food for thought.

I'd prefer NG to re-release them - that's a perfect set of L-1011s and it'd be better that they're encouraged to re-release them instead of collectors reluctantly opting for a weaker option - which would then probably discourage NG to re-release. Enough demand made them re-release the ANA R2-D2 & the AA 752 luxury liner as well as others

DAL only flew th A310
PAA I have their earlier release - wish they'd flown it in the classic scheme, but yeah
Also the DHL pride tail needs to be made - Phoenix made a horrible horrible version - Hopefully AC will do that soon @AKlein707 ?
And am sure we'd love some SAS, AFR, DLH & Condor A300 re-releases while we're at it hehe.

Oh thought they would have the A300 with the PAA merge. But good to know!

Thai DC-10 re-release??

There is actually room for another from AC. Their 1st release was HS-TMA, a DC-10-30ER delivered to Thai in December 1987, operating with them until April 1998 when it left for Northwest. The original fleet of 5 DC-10-30s acquired between 1975-1977 (HS-TGA - HS-TGE) were replaced with B.747-200s from 1980, which also assumed their registrations.

Thai started operating DC-10s again from 1984 with a leased KLM example, PH-DTK, before acquiring 3 DC-10-30ERs in 1987-1988 (HS-TMA - HS-TMC).

So far, only Inflight400 have made a 1970s ‘delivery’ Thai DC-10-30 from the original batch, producing 2 registrations in 2012 (HS-TGD & HS-TGE), I have one of them, and they suffer from absurdly high landing gear!

The livery application on the original 1970s machines also varied in that the airline identity ‘Thai’ was repeated in a larger size on the #2 nacelle, which did not happen with the later DC-10 fleet.

Safe enough to say, a Thai DC-10 from the original 1970s fleet still needs to be made by Aeroclassics!

Appreciate the details! I'd love to have this one

Welcome! Likewise, it would be very welcome on the AC mould, the IF400 version isn’t disastrous but the tall gear makes it look a bit silly, with a bit of work they could be switched out I guess

It's December 21st, nearly Christmas, so cummon Andrew throw us a bone to chew on with the reggie hints?

 

[redriveraviation]

Andrew has been doing a great job as of late on these models, so I'm excited for any aircraft to be released! Rock on, Andrew!

 

[ACS777x]

I would love to see more Midway Airlines releases

 

[Purpleplane]

Yes, we need a Midway 737-200

With no report from 'Mata Hari', this thread is dying!

 

[1/400collector]

Ok… No VHs, kinda disappointing, but I am sure I will find something in the N regs.

These are what I would like to see:

• Delta Widget 737-200
• Delta Express Widget 737-200
• PSA 727 Orange
• PSA 727 Pink

Oh yes some new PSA will go straight to my collection

Sad but true. I'd love to know if there are any "bingos"

 

[Purpleplane]

Andrew posted the hints over at 400 Scale hangar:

1:200 scale: 2 x N

1:400 scale: 7 x N , HS- , and OE-

He posted these over at 400 Scale Hangar.... hopefully he'll let us know soon if there are any bingos.

I'm gonna guess:
ATI DC-8-62 n799al (last colour scheme)
Delta widget L1011
Some kind of Thai L1011 maybe One two go.

The two L1011s you suggested make sense. As I said before, the Delta could provide to the people who missed the NG release.
