Aeroclassics Spring 2024 Releases

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

See here:

NG B747-8 Lufthansa Retro - Pictures

I am considering to return the NG model. The shape is of course better than its JC/GJ counterpart. But the lack of mica grey on the fuselage does not justify a 60+ EUR investment just to replace a great model that is closer to the orginal. Font looks off, too. Left: NG Right: GJ

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

Possibly to do with the image size

Let's say the Aercolassics titles exaggerate the original style.

I agree, Aeroclassics LH A310 in the 1980s c/s has the same issue

The revised titles would have been the better choice IMHO because they were only done on the -230B and not on the -230BM by BigBird in 2006.

I'm also waiting for a blue KLM -206B with ten windows on the upper deck and PW engines. Never done in 1/400 (except for a Garuda hybrid AFAIK). Little variations could make rereleases less repetitive and may convince long time collectors like me to invest again.

And the font is off.

priced on par with a 'recent retro model someone else made'
no hullabaloo and dissecting and the like?....hmmm

With AC's current 747 output, it's easier to list the things I like:

But if we're already speaking g about classics 747 mould, any idea when will the NG mould will come out?

Saw better pictures on another forum and I think except for the grey pylons this Lufthansa turned out better than most recent 747s. But as I own the Big Bird releases I won't buy.
