Aeroclassics July 2023 speculations

[YYZ727]

July releases will be announced very soon. Any hints ?

 

[YesterAirlines]

I am surprised that this thread wasn't created earlier. Are all of you from 400SH being threatened to keep silent and not discuss the hints at other sites? And to think you all got upset when I suggested linking to 400SH shouldn't be allowed because it was exactly the sort of thing they wouldn't allow their

Anyway, as I understand it the reg hints are as follows:

CF- , EI- , HS- , N (x 4) , PH- , RP- , T- , TU- , & VT-

Presumably the EI is the Aer Lingus Viscount delayed from last month...

Incidentally @YYZ727 these are the June releases as AC are the only brand to keep it all secret and then release immediately

 

[JJ Skippy]

Looks like we might have some interesting releases on our hands later today. Looking forward to what we’ve got. All are 1:400 I assume?

 

[JJ Skippy]

Here are my predictions:
CF: Norcanair Fairchild F-27
EI: Aer Lingus Vickers Viscount
HS: Orient Thai Airways Lockheed L-1011 Tristar
N:
- America West Airbus A320 (beige livery)
- USAir Douglas DC-9-30
- US Airways Douglas DC-9-30
- Frontier Airbus A319
PH: Air Holland Boeing 727-200
RP: Air Philippines Boeing 737-200
T: Not sure
TU: Air Afrique Douglas DC-10
VT: Indian Airlines Vickers Viscount

I'd like to see an Air Afrique A310 (the one with TU reg)
Not sure if AC still releases A310s though???

Haven’t seen any A300s nor A310s since the FedEx and UPS A300s IIRC.

I think you're right.. I don't recall any since the freighters were released.

The T- reg is the Royal Dutch Air Force DC-10 T-255. Has been on pre-order with Aviation Megastore since December.

 

[TheEpicBirb]

The T- reg is the Royal Dutch Air Force KDC-10 T-255. Has been on pre-order with Aviation Megastore since December. Would be very cool if they can add the refueling thingy and make the T-235, because then we have both of the only KDC-10s in existence in 1/400 scale.

these guys? also do you mean the refueling boom?

Yeah We've been told by AK to not post them anywhere else.

Yup. RNLAF converted two DC-10's into KDC-10's. The T-255 doesn't have the refueling boom which is probably why AC made it instead of the T-235. The latter made a low altitude farewell flight which I saw out my window, was very impressive to watch.

[1400_Aircraft_Models]

Love love love that KDC-10 haha

 

[Purpleplane]

United 727-100 for me. Another one I can cross off of my wish list.

 

[Adrian]

Yeah We've been told by AK to not post them anywhere else, which is understandable in my opinion

So he doesn't want anyone else to talk about future releases and doesn't want any publicity beyond 400SH...bizarre behaviour?

Yep, that seems a bit odd. You'd think he'd want to get the word out to as many as possible.

 

[JJ Skippy]

I’ll probably get it too at Airliners, seeing as UA operated the type (along with the -200) to FSD in the 80s. DC-10 might be another one to grab too.

The Thai DC-10 has no wing!

 

[LeoMuse747]

The Air India A320 should feature double bogeys on the main gears!

I think it may feature the double bogey. But only "may" as I can say. We'll have to wait for more pics, particularly side shots. If not featured, it is not something that I surprise.
