The 787 4X-XXX is gonna be EL AL 4X-EDN former China airlines with the new livery

 

[KG3036_SS]

Wow from the hints alone there are plenty of interesting topics!

Airbus A330
9XR-XX
B-XXXX
G-XXXX

The 9XR-XX should be RwandAir, whereas the G-XXXX and the B-XXXX would come with plenty options. BMI?

Airbus A340
OE-XXX

It must be Austrian, and no matter being -200 or -300 it has been quite some years since this combo apperaed on market

Airbus A350
HB-XXX

My bet would be Edelweiss? Though SWISS is also rather likely....

Boeing 747-8
V8-XXX

It would be Brunei Gov's 748BBJ - The livery looks decent though

Boeing 767
V5-XXX

Air Namibia V5-NMB?

Boeing 777
B-XXX
B-XXXXX
NXXXXX

B-XXX must be Cathay - but there's plenty of room for guesses - 94 brushwing? 15 brushwing?
B-XXXXX - The new Hello Kitty Jet B-16722?
NXXXXX - I guess another United? Rising blue this time?

Boeing 787
4X-XXX
5Y-XXX

The 4X has been guessed and my bet is the same - 4X-EDN in the revised El Al livery (ex-Air China B-1216)
5Y-XXX is Kenya Airways 5Y-KZD Come Live The Magic livery? Though a standard version also sounds possible as PH has not made KQ 788 in ages...

McDonnell Douglas MD-11
B-XXX
NXXXXX

The B-XXX is Taiwan reg. - my bet is China Airlines old livery (With ROC flag) - though it would be nice if PH choose Mandarin instead... (EVA's MD11 all come in 5-letter reg. so no luck)
The NXXXXX is Deltaflot? Or AA?

 

[LeoMuse747]

Nothing too exciting for me this time... but the Air Namibia V5-NMB is a very nice release! What a cool livery too.

Based on these, I know I'll jump for a RwandAir A330, Air Namibia 763, Austrian A340, China Airlines old scheme MD-11 & any DL or AA MD-11. Would love it if the N-reg 777 were a Rising Blue.

 

[panda_CAT]

How I wish that 777 with the US registry number was a Delta 772 or 777-200LR，After all, Phoenix has been coming out with a lot of Delta titles lately. But just not the 777 or 747.

 

[Mark22]

Another IL-96(-400)? Aeroflot Cargo perhaps? Can't think of others

Would be better to see NG make the Delta 777-200LR or a new GJ one since their 777 mould are more realistic than Phoenix one

 

[pommy80]

I'd imagine it's the new titles on the 777-300ER - B-KQF.

Yeah same. I’ll wait for JC to release it.

Admittedly, I like NG's 777 engines, but the quality of the models over the past two months has been so poor that Delta's A330NEO is printed crooked from the front, and the landing gear came off of two 777 CIA models I recently received.

NG GE90-115B/110B can be improved too. I think GJ/JCW are better

Nice to see a FedEx MD-11F! But anyone knows if Phoenix MD11 are as good as GJ ones and if PHX colors are accurate now? I got one of their FedEx 767-300ERF and the colors were wrong (the purple was too purple whereas it should appear bluer sometimes in real life, and the orange was too saturated).

 

[Mark22]

Both MD-11s are old moulds, but JC/GJ is slightly better in my opinion.

Nothing for me this time around but I really do applaud the diversity. It's refreshing when compared to pretty much every other brand.
