Deliveryman knocked my door today. 5 new models arrived:
Aegean A320-232 SX-DGZ from NG in very good condition. Excellent.
Next American B767-200 N313AA from NG. The nose wheel was loose and now fixed. To high in the photo. Otherwise excellent.
Third is the Boeing first B747 B7470 from NG. Firstly I didn't order it but realized I could not miss on it. It is NG lite but the box was heavy (?). Glad I bought it.
Fourth is Republic Airlines DC-9-50. Flew on one in the early 80's fromFort Lauderdale to Orlando (flight continued to Tallahassee). I'm happy that Andrew did this one and it is as good as AC can do DC-9's. No complaint here.
Last SAS B737-8KP LN-RRE in Star Alliance colors. Better than I expected but not as good as I wanted it. Printing issues and cockpit sections is not really good.

Sichuan's classic 80's scheme is timeless (much like ANA's) fabulous even on the A350s - and hopefully they retain this for long. Magnificent especially on the Tu-154s - with that broadened red band sweeping up into that T-tail, and that lovely logo.

Lovely set of models!
Difficult though to unsee that terrible 737 front section. Unfortunate that SAS, like so many or most EU airlines, has ceased to exist for NG. ...
I loathe the new SAS boardroom blandness boredom of a livery - such a regression after a string of striking and boundary-pushing schemes.

Yes, my hopes is for perfect SAS B736/7/8 and SAS A319-21 will be done by NG. AC have done good baby busses but I think NG can do better. Regarding B737, non of the previous releases are any good at all from all makers so far. I need to replace them all with NG’s.

A pair of gorgeous 'Latin Classics' recently arrived on these distant shores - the TAME restock I managed to snag thanks to a tip-off from @1/400collector -thank you again!
Both schemes are lovely - been looking forward to an AC TAME since forever - quite a few variations on this cheatline scheme are awaiting release - on both versions of the 727, besides of course the later livery version(s)
The LACSA via El Aviador will accompany their earlier 722, ACs DC-6, and the recent Retro scheme by NG - now need to lay my hands on that La Tienda / Panda A320ceo.

My recent arrivals contain two models, the Porter Dash 8 and the United Express E170, on which we have flown during our recent New York and Ontario trip, Porter from Newark to Toronto City and United from Toronto Int. to Newark. So I was happy to still find the old Herpa release, while the Porter was just freshly released less than 3 weeks after our flight. Perfect timing. Both models are the exact type and livery we have flown on, just different registrations.
The Air Canada A220-300 is a new type and livery variant that I just wanted to add to my collection. Funny side story here: the model was already delivered a few weeks ago, but the "Look Inside" of the Gemini box revealed that it contained a Phoenix Sichuan A320 instead. The dealer took it back and ordered the Air Canada again from their distributor. Guess a "nice" customer who wanted to save a few bucks swapped boxes in their shop in Berlin and went home with an Air Canada A220 in a Phoenix Sichuan A320 box

Until my return to the UK I didn't collect any BA liveries beyond Negus, but now I have a decent collection of Landor and World Tails schemes, with my new date cut-off point 2000. The latest additions are this pair of beautiful BigBird 747s acquired through eBay for the very decent price of £65 (about $83) each. I always loved the World Tails. Such a shame that 'Little Britainism' of the sort that resulted in Brexit led to the campaign's end. The Swedish Bloomsterang and Indian Paithani are surely two of the most attractive of the schemes applied.

NG must have been reading my wishlist recently. 
Although this year I’m a bit limited in growing my collection, these two gems I couldn’t let go:
An absolute must for my African fleet and a long time wish. Actually I never thought that it would be produced in 1/400 one day.
As I was flying on one of these in recent years, I was so glad to finally get my hands on a 787-9 in the standard Etihad livery. And that it’s from NG makes it even nicer (next to my JC Wings variants).
Needless to say, both models are outstanding quality!

Lucky you. NG never listen to my wish list. It says SAS B736/7/8 and A319/20/21. Nothing happens…..NG must have been reading my wishlist recently.

Are all AV400 engines that close to the ground?
