Very cool choices! Eager to see these Ilyushins.
The Northwest Bowling Shoe MD-80s are also stunning... take note, NG!

Somehow Pheonix has been killing it with their release choices for the better part of a year... If these were on NG molds, they would be dominating the market. Pheonix has been a prime example of what balanced releases should look like across the whole spectrum from global airlines to classics. I just need to be convinced that Pheonix's MD mold is worth getting because those NWA bowling shoes are a phenomenal choice.
 
NWA bowling shoe MD-80s are a must. I don’t think we’ve seen Phoenix’s Finnair MD-80 yet with the alleged mould updates so will be curious how that one turns out. Either way I’m not holding my breath on anyone else to make these so I’m in!

In my opinion it looks much better than the JC offering, so I believe the Northwest versions will be just fine.
