[LeoMuse747]

That Lauda Air 767 is going straight to my wishlist
Would have preferred Condor or Martinair, but Lauda will surely work too.
I hope PH won't mess up with the cockpit windows.

 

[777-300ER]

Finally the Air France 777-300ER F-GSQA I requested! Thanks Phoenix!

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

The first Slovak surely has been a hit - I'm presuming thus a follow up?
Stellar list as usual

The AR A342, Rudolf's A340 and the LTU for sure (should be white nose?!)

Tempted by the Syrian and Lauda -but not too confident in PH's hit-and-miss 767 cockpit printing

And that Turkmenistan is great too - the last 777lr delivered, if I'm not mistaken

(oh I wish NG hadn't dragged its feet on the A340s and 747s for so many years)

The Aeroflot 100 is great - bit of a let-down with that teeny sticker - and the current situation is unfortunate for such a venerable airline.
Curious about the chartered Aeroflot 154 - recently NG announced 2 as well ...........

And all the 747s in the world................(i can't have) - yes PH's printing on them has been remarkably fine in most cases - but, yeah.

Is this the first 77W frame ever delivered?

This one is a freighter TU-154

Yup! been waiting for that Condor retro, and the other Condor schemes! As well as all the Martinair ones! Although PH did release the retro Martinair many moons ago iirc

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

This one is a freighter TU-154

yes it says 154S - but considering it's in Aeroflot colours with the Transaero sticker, isn't it still a cargo charter?

 

[Ciderman]

Although I would have preferred a different Laura Air 767-300 in the early 1990s scheme I'll add it to my collection. The LTU MD-11 will replace my Gemini Jets model. What do Phoenix mean by "red nose"? "White nose" oder "fully painted nose"?

 

[DTcustoms]

it carried cargo for Transaero until it was retired in mid 1990s

Hi Martin, the LTU will have this nose. I will get this one to replace my GJ one as the paint on the tail cracked a while ago

 

[Mark22]

A great release set for European and Middle-East collectors. The moulds may not be great, but at least there's an option to get the livery.

 

[quanng]

Wow, I suffer a lot from this release set. I would be very happy to add the Syrian A343 (I have requested PHX for quite a while and it is the same reg) and yessss Turkmenistan B77L (the last produced B77L - goes along with PHX's earlier last produced B77W). Austria B772 would be in consideration. What a hit! Next year "to-buy" list starts to get closer to 2 digits even if we are still in 2023!

 

[Ciderman]

I'm more and more impressed with Phoenix. They offer a wide range of classic airliners. Even their choice of 747 operators is commendable. If they only had a decent mould for this type...

 

[777-300ER]

Is this the first 77W frame ever delivered?

Yes it is!

Whoops it won't have the white nose? That's so nice too!

 

[keji833]

Hell yeah!!! I was dreaming about that Turkmenistan 777 for sooo long!!!
Syrian A343 is another definite pick-up

Wow! That's going straight into the cart too. Thanks for the update

 

[Jazajia]

Phoenix continues to please in 2024. Aerolíneas A342 in the Iberia-style livery will be coming my way for sure! So long overdue, has been on the Aeroclassic's wishlists for ages. Thanks Phoenix for not fooling around too much and just releasing it. It will sell well.

Might also get the Lauda 767.

 

[Ciderman]

After the Lauda Air 767 here's hope for an LTU süd.
