2nd round of a380s. interesting.
might consider the hi fly coral reef version.
still, there left the ANA's 3 turtles to be released.
other than that, might take the orange pride 77w to see how their detachable 777 holds up.

The 777s and A350s will be some time as I believe they are still designing the detachable landing gear for those models. The magnetic gear works well on the A380s but I admit I'm less certain on smaller types.
Some interesting choices this time especially the AA and TAAG 773s. Tempted by several of the A380s myself.

Happy that AV finanlly try something new with their 77W 
The TAAG is now high on my to-order list
Just personally not prefer AV400 77W - they looks slightly off to me and the overpolishing problem on the nose is enough for me to worry about.
I am also considering the Qantas A380 and Air France A380 The GJ version cost too much to me for the Qantas one

- I missed the LH new scheme A380 in the earlier round - so will plan to pick this one up.
- The TAAG 77W is a fantastic choice - and one that I'd want, as many others would (one of those strange and not-infrequent cases of a gorgeous and much-desired scheme not done by anyone other than PH I think??? and that too a long long time ago) - but Av400's gradual 'tampering' of their (former? - like in the case of the A350) excellent moulds is worrisome - so I'd wait for pictures
- B-32AG has already been announced by NG so yeah I know where my money is going in this case
- not interested in AI's new scheme, but may pick up this VT-JRA just out of curiosity, if there's spare cash, to tinker around with those detachable gears.
- have PH's AFR & TG A380s so may not go for these - may go for the QF though
- unpopular opinion - I have the previous Av400 PH-BVA and that's awesome, but I don't really like the Orange Pride upgrade honestly. too hackneyed and too govt like?

Not an unpopular opinion. I personally feel like they downgraded it too.

Companies make aircraft with the same registration and liveries all the time. AV400's 777 mould is on the same level as the Gemini one so it's entirely up to personal preference.
And maybe also the united 787…

Here are my thoughts on the AV400 releases. A great selection of models but it'll be interesting to see how the new magnetic gears look on the smaller widebodies:

I doubt they have. AV400 has had overpolishing issues in 2023 and I strongly suspect this is more of the same. That will be another unfortunate example. It is a QC problem at the factory
EDIT: I can confirm that this is 100% a QC issue and not a mould change
