Hopeful the N registered 737 max is the Aeromexico 737-max9 in the new colors to go with the 787 from last month.

I think I’ll end up getting the Aer Lingus A330-200. The -300 is the normal scheduled aircraft to my city but we occasionally get the -200 and it seems like nobody will be making an Aer Lingus A330-300 any time soon.

The CX 80th anniversary has been announced now by Aero Polaris, NG, Apollo, JC Wings and Phoenix. Apollo will probably be the cheapest. The Phoenix A350 would be my selection for the least impressive of the 5 to be honest.

The Finnair A320 is OH-LXM, not LXD. The image sent to retailers was incorrect

Aviation400 also announced one. For me, the only two contenders are the NG and Aviation400. Based on pictures, it looks like AeroPolaris might use the NG mould, but I can't confirm as I haven't purchased one of their A350s yet.

When Aero Polaris first appeared late last year as a reincarnation of HYJLwings its first mould announced was an Airbus A350. Subsequently, its first actual releases were some 737-800s and in the past few months HYJLwings has also reappeared as a separate

The AeroPolaris mould is quite good to be honest. They even feature the correct winglets on the -1000s, unlike NG.
Phoenix slips in its first set of the year before CNY and wants to compete against the other big players, but can it? Here are my rankings.
