NG and Aeroclassics fighting to see who can come up with the most boring set of releases:

 

[Purpleplane]

Yep, nothing for me this time around.

Lufthansa 747 looks nice but uh... given the last few 747's we've seen I don't have too high expectations

 

[LeoMuse747]

Boring as hell

I’ll provide my thoughts on this release.

The Frontier A321neos, in my opinion, are the highlight of this release. There’s been quite a few people who have been wanting this. Given what we’ve seen with previous popular A321 releases (AA Heritages) I’m not too surprised Aeroclassics bit the bullet first on the Frontier aircraft. I am on the fence about getting it; I will at least wait to see if Gemini or NG will do one (not the America’s Greenest Airline livery, I don’t really care for that livery as a model) before I make a final decision. It’ll depend on who does it first in this regard.

The Lufthansa 747 is a nice choice; given the issues previous 747 releases have seen, I can understand the lack of confidence in some.

The pair of 154s were also a nice touch. I’m not sure how popular those airlines are for the Soviet collectors, but any 154s are good.

At least one of you aren't so overwhelmingly negative.

Right! Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but we shouldn’t have so much negativity.

Will see how the Lufthansa turns out, wish I bought a Dragon wings version from my regular dealer around a year or so ago, (sold out now) would've been a lot cheaper and similar quality. Or will wait for NG to release one.

Samesies. Keeping patient on the 747 classics.
It's 2024. Would like a mould and model that reflects this.

Times they are a changing. This is the first time since the 'factory move' that Aeroclassics have missed an entire month as the last set was eons ago and even then this batch is short by at least 4 models. I see AK is saying there won't be another release until mid-May! Things don't seem to be going that well, which is a real shame.

Of this set the Frontiers look nice in the photos and I'd definitely prefer them to Geminis if I was buying. The 154s are interesting but I'm trying to avoid that mould nowadays. The 747 looks pretty decent from the one image I've seen and I'm sure will be popular, but I'm going to stick with the Dragon I already own.

It is a massive rarity for me to say I'm not getting any Aeroclassics at all from a month.

Well, it shares all the issues of previous AC 747s and so falls way short of the original BB/AC. Sadly no positive surprise here.

 

[pnagrows]

Anyone know if the LH has a polished belly or painted? Already gone from the ac direct website by the time i looked.

Richard, could you direct me to that photo? I would like to add another Lufthansa 747 if it sports the condensed titles on a 747-230BM.

Here is the Lufthansa, it's not exactly the same as on the release poster, but still one that existed.

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately for me it sports the wider titles from the 1970s and early 1980s. I already have the original Big Bird D-ABYK release in that configuration.

Hey, at least one has a unique niche it's catering to

did that wide title actually exist? I couldn't find any photos of it

 

[Mark22]

Yes it did. Does anyone know why u can't post pictures normally? Can only send it as attachment.
