Must say if they are doing another ws 737-600 but this time with the maple leaf or aeroflyer re release that is pretty disappointing. I was hoping for the ws 737-700. I hope it ends up be a 700 and was just put in as a 600 by mistake 🤞

The F reg is the only thing that applies to me. I would guess it’s the new livery with Sharklets as this was announced last month. I’m hoping we’ll get to see a few more different airlines in 2023 such as ITA, Lufthansa (Old livery), SAS Old livery, Aer Lingus, Aegean, EasyJet and more from Europe. :):)
 
NG has become the same as GJ in my opinion. Just boring and repetitive releases month after month...
It's kinda funny actually, their recent November set was pretty good with the Landor and TWA Tristars. I guess December has just been a long month, with neither the expected CX Tristar nor the 747 mould announcement happening.
 
And yet weirdly enough not a single Heart 700 has been released. 🤷‍♂️
That's what surprises me the most about their Southwest releases. They've been fixated on bringing us the special liveries as well as the Canyon Blue planes, which is nice, but we absolutely need some regular Hearts.

Honestly I hope their first Southwest 737 Max 8 is in the Heart livery since that represents the vast majority of their Max 8s. Their next Southwest Max 8s could then be the Gold and Canyon Blue liveries.
 
Nothing except for the Scoot 787 for me... What happened to the old NG who gave us variety and kept us on our toes? I think this set is largely Chinese because of the Lunar New Year, we will probably have some new year special liveries in it too.
