I'm not seeing a lot to excite me I admit.

Virgin & Qatari MAXs
Mexican and Tajikistan 787-8s
The F-G A330 is presumably a Beluga XL

Is that another Air India Tristar too? V2- could be V2-LEO the Air Mauritius / Caribjet hybrid but I doubt it.

Hopefully the Buchannan pair aren't really obscure hybrids this time.

 

[Mark22]

Nothing seems interesting to me too. The F- A321s will probably be variants of the same livery. My guess Buchannan L1011 is Air Canada / Eastern hybrid C-FTNA, which is better than the ATA/TWA from last time, especially the one with Air Canada logo on the tail.

 

[Barison82]

Crikey, 4 L-1011’s in that list, although it’s only the VR- reg that’s causing some possible excitement for me, this could be another Cathay variant. Indeed V2 is yet again another possible Air India, the N33xx under the Buchannan brand is another Eastern registration; they already did an Air America hybrid and I was expecting the full bare metal Eastern to happen as a regular NG release? It better not be this though:





Still waiting also for Air Canada delivery c/s or the late ‘80s burgundy stripe scheme, but again this would more likely to happen under the main NG branding so it could yet again be another leased/hybrid Canadian machine? So far NG have only released one classic Air Canada TriStar, the L-1011-500 in the late ‘70s livery.

What on earth could the second VH- MAX be? They’ve already made all variants of the Bonza livery and the only other MAX in Australia is with Virgin AU. (Who only have one.)

Aside from those two, I’ll probably get the VR L-1011.

 

[Steinar]

I’m still waiting for some SAS B736, 737 and 738 to replace older version in my cabinet. Wonder how long I have to wait.
Nothing for me on this list.

 

[thiscooldude]

Im guessing Caribjet is the L1011

 

[Barison82]

Im guessing Caribjet is the L1011

This? Alongside the other possible N33xx that’s a pair of pretty boring hybrids

 

[YesterAirlines]

Buchannan have announced their pair. You are correct @Mark22 the C- is the Air Canada / Eastern



The other one is a fantasy release of the aircraft from the Wesley Snipes film Passenger 57



Not sure what to think about that, although it is quite a cool scheme!

 

[Alzyerpal]

No Canadian models

There's a Canadian TriStar listed under Buchannan Models.

 

[Mark22]

Interesting Tristars, definitely didn't expect the N330EA, might buy one of them.

 

[Phantom]

the VR- reg that’s causing some possible excitement for me, this could be another Cathay variant.

I think that's the long leaked VR-HHY, NG 31027.
I hope for full 1980's this time.

Blimey, never seen that bottom one before, it’s quite snazzy but I don’t collect fantasy types (yet: if a polished metal US Air ‘80s B.747-100 ever happened, that would be my first one to break that rule!)

At least the Eastern hybrid has the full thick hockey-stick with red ‘AIR CANADA’ titles to add a bit of interest, but still not for me. Broke the rule for their previous Air America to whet the appetite for a full bare metal Eastern release, which by now we’re more than ready for. So I’m sure this will be happening as a regular NG release, if/when it does, which actually confuses me about the V2- as if it is indeed the Caribjet hybrid I would have expected that one to be a Buchannan release as well?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, it probably will be - I’m also hoping for a 1980’s variant not yet covered

 

[B767Avia]

Seeing lots of familiar regs from the future previews. In the meantime I'm just hoping they update the More to Love details I suggested when it first got announced...

 

[pons399]

Another month without a modern Singapore, Cathay, or Korean widebody. The last time any of these was released was 3. Years. Ago. Seriously NG, these aren't some obscure, niche airlines.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Very boring stuff.
Buchannan was expected to be an "Aeroclassics within NG" but keeps releasing weird hybrids

No 747-8, no 747SP, no Tu-154, no 757... boooring.

The Iberia was a very good release though, and this fantasy is not bad either, but it looks like Buchannan only uses 757s and L-1011's.

 

[thiscooldude]

Im starting to dislike NG tbh.
