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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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