What's up with the bashing on NG? Am I missing something?

I think he's quoting AK.

That was AK's post on 400 scale hangar.

curious what the ZK is going to be, whether is will be an air new zealand 737 or some other type

The only problem I'll have with NG is if they release 30 models that I need all at once..

AC made an Air NZ 737-200 in the 1980s livery on the SMA mould in 2006, but a rerelease on the current mould would be welcome.

1.5 Bingos so far!! When you guess the reg. too, and get the airframe right but the rego wrong, only 0,5 of a Bingo!!
what andrew stated on 400SH

 

[KL808]

Are there any DC10s or A300s?

 

[thiscooldude]

Mr.Klein has stated that one of Purplaneplanes guesses got a bingo!

Purpleplane used his wishlist, as per usual. maybe andrew could cave in, and do one of his holy grail's?

Yeah, that would be nice. My wish list is slowly getting shorter though.

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.

 

[KL808]

I was hoping there would be a 2 pack KL DC10
