Aeroclassics made 7 variants of Ansett F28s in 2014 with different titles and liveries. I've got 5 in my collection.

In 2017 Aeroclassics released 5 different Piedmont / USAir F28s as well, of which I picked up 4. All series 1000s though as AC doesn't have a series 4000 mould.

An interesting revue. I too am grateful for the Australian F28-1000's released by AC. The one I would desperately love to have is Ansett Airlines of NSW VH-FKD. I flew in this aeroplane from Dubbo to Sydney on the inaugural service in 1970. I flew back the following morning. The jet stayed with Ansett for years in a variety of liveries liveries

That Ansett N.T. Fokker 28 was, I believe, the only aircraft in the fleet to wear the Ansett N.T. livery, the others that operated for Ansett N.T. wore the Ansett W.A. livery.

The week has almost concluded, but there's still time for some last F28s. A couple of recent Fellowships have joined my collection. First is PK-GFU a festive hangar club model from 2007. This aircraft was one of an astonishing 59 F28s flown by Garuda. Delivered new on May 30, 1978 it was leased to Merpati Nusantara in 1989 and sadly written off when it crashed into the sea on approach to Sorong in July 1993 killing 41 of the 43 onboard.
