The second Southwest retro, 'Heroine of the Heart', has been spotted! Read the Simple Flying article for more: https://simpleflying.com/southwest-canyon-blue-colleen-barrett-retro-livery-737-max/

I love this livery on the MAX, hoping we can see this along with the Desert Gold retro done by GJ in 1:400 sometime soon!

Technically not a Retro Livery because the Canyon Blue Livery is still around so it’s in the Canyon Blue current livery before the Heart Livery

I think it counts as a retro because the Heart livery is the standard at the moment, and therefore no new non-retro livery aircraft are being painted into the Canyon Blue anymore.

What’s even more fascinating about this is that renderings of the MAX with the CB colors existed back when the orders were initially placed in 2011. Great to see one equipped with this livery now!

It sure is! The new MAXs look great in the old striped tail (Desert Gold and Canyon Blue) schemes, it's something about the muted colours that I really think suits the look of the MAX.

I'm really looking forward to Gemini making both N871HK and N872CB.

Yes! I am too! Hopefully, they got the Desert Gold right, their past attempts have been just a bit sad.

True. They really blew it with N714CB...now's the time for them to get it right.

I agree. This is such a beautiful aircraft and it deserves for GJ to do it justice.

Or even better, NG could make this their first MAX model, when their MAX mould comes to market.

Yes, now that would be awesome!

Yeah! NG is generally ok with colours, but I think if they put their minds to it, they can make it perfect!

True, that's why I'd love for them to take a shot at doing N711HK.
