Andrew just posted this on 400 scale hangar:


"May releases will be announced on Friday May 19th. Here are the hints;

1:200 scale: CN-
1:400 scale: C- , EI- , N (x 4) , VH- , VT- , XA- , ZK- , 9H- No, we are not greedy and irresponsible like NG, so the list ends here!!

Let the speculations begin!! Don't let the prefixes fool you; things aren't always as they seem!!
Happy Cinqo di Mayo!!"

I'm hoping for any of these:

A320: America West first scheme.
727-100: Eastern bare metal thin stripe, United Saul Bass large titles
727-200: ATA 25th anniversary scheme, Eastern bare metal thin stripe, Federal Express purple top (N217FE please), TWA twin stripes hollow titles.
737-200: Braniff II, Midway, Presidential, United battleship gray.
DC-9-30: Republic "Mary Tyler Moore" scheme
DC-9-50: Republic "Herman" scheme.
 
It’s always great to see a VH. As per usual, my list is very long:

A300: Qantas, TAA “Twin cheatline”, Australian
A310: Compass
A320: Jetstar “Small titles”
A330: Qantas “Pride is in the air”

B707-100: Qantas “V-Jet”
B707-300: Qantas “V-Jet”, Qantas 1970s
B727-100: Ansett “Widget”
B727-200: Ansett “Widget”, Ansett “Final livery” (Without farewell sticker)
B737-200: Ozjet “Blue titles and tail”

DC-4: TAA
DC-9-30: Ansett “Widget”, TAA “Twin cheatline”
 
Every time I see appropriate reggie hints, my requests are still the same until they are finally made, but never hold my breath:

EI = Aer Lingus Viscount ( green top scheme)
N = Hawaiian Airlines Viscount
N = Seaboard World DC-8-63
VH-=Ansett-ANA Viscount
ZK-= NZNAC Viscount
 
If they're doing 2 packs like in April, I'm thinking the C- could be a Federal Express (Morning Star Express) 727-200.. possibly C-GMSX, which is an ex-Air Canada 727-233, paired with Federal Express 727-2S2F N217FE in purple top scheme.
