[Phantom]

They've got the ideas, others got the quality.
So I end up with saving my money for other stuff.

 

[Mark22]

Good variety in aircraft and geography, NG taking notes?

i would rather believe that NG's email inbox is actually being directed to PH somehow ...

I literally have no words. I've been pestering NG for these for ages, and now PH has released them on their mediocre 737 moulds.

Honestly, good for you Phoenix! You know what we want, you know we aren't happy with the competition, and you're seizing the moment. That's the spirit we need from all the manufacturers, and somehow PH has ended up as the role model. I doubt 2023 will be remembered as Gemini's 25th anniversary, but rather as Phoenix's renaissance!

 

[Danio1988]

BA 767 for me as usual

 

[LeoMuse747]

Phoenix always dropping some killer choices!!! Very nice! Sadly, as always, not the best moulds.
The Delta 767 is beautiful and will be a good companion to their MD-11 too.

Amybody have ideas on the difference between HB-IWA and HB-IWH?

Seems like PH is also on the trend of splitting 1 single aircraft-airline combo into a few different regs like NG...

Definitely gonna get this one though - just wanna make sure if I should get IWA or IWH - or both

 

[pons399]

Worse than usual, but still better than whatever NG came up with for Nov.

Seems like there's a sticker next to the titles on one of them

It's nothing new really. Aeroclassics has been doing it for a long time aswell, sometimes in one release but sometimes spread over 2 months.

One has the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation

I disagree that this batch is worse. The 767, MD-11, A321neo and Tu-154 are nice in terms of livery choices

Indeed. Phoenix is also releasing some good 767s from North America.

United Battleship
Canadian
American (bare metal livery)
Delta Widget

nice choices. Maybe we'll also see UA Saul Bass, Air Canada, TWA...

I'll keep waiting for these European 767s from the 1990s:
Condor, Martinair, Lauda Air, Air Europe Italy

 

[SQ77W]

Man, I can’t believe it… years hoping to see a TWA 747 and they decide to make N93119, the ill fated that crashed on Long Island in 1996
I just don’t like to have models involved in crashes/ tragedies …Am I the only one?

 

[JJ Skippy]

Fantastic release from Phoenix. If only I had the budget, I would be getting four of these releases.

 

[Jazajia]

I might get the BA Landor. I would have been all over the Swissair MD-11s, but I got the JC Wings release from a few years back. Very happy for the collectors who have been looking for that model, as the JC Wings version is sold out, and now they have two to choose from on a very serviceable mold!

Lovely aircraft.

Def not the only one, I also feel strange owning a model involved in those incidents.

I think it adds interest to the model.

I have a Viasa DC-9-30 by Aeroclassics that was involved in a high-profile crash near the place where I was born.

I also have a model of Pan Am's N736PA's "Clipper Victor," one of the two 747s involved in no less than the Tenerife disaster.

Both are hard keepers in my collection. They are good conversation starters.

Fair play to Phoenix, there's something for everyone here wow.
