Today is a good day! FIVE newcomers arrived today.

Icelandair B737 Max9 TF-ICB and TF-ICD from Phoenix

Icelandair B767-304 Cargo TF-ISH from Phoenix

TWA MD-83 N9303K from Gemini Jets

Balkan Holidays TU-154M LZ-HMI from NG Models

 

[LeoMuse747]

That Balkan Tu-154 and the Icelandair Cargo 767 are the best! MD-80 comes in as a close 3rd place for me

Just landed. PHX United Airlines Triple Seven N777UA.

Very nice I'm waiting for mine, along with the last 747, and the LH A346... maybe time to email my retailer...

A few of the latest arrivals. I've been looking for this Varig MD-11 for a while. This one is in great condition which will replace one I got some time ago where an ebay seller said it was "like new" and came as if it went through a glue and hail storm. The Faucett DC-8 was a gift from a friend in Peru who's father worked for the airline and has an amazing Faucett collection and diorama. And the DC-3 is soon to get the acetone treatment.

Nice batch, something tells me that NW DC-9 won't be wearing that livery for long...

My 5 new arrivals for today, came from 5 separate orders but I combined to ship at once (I try to minimize freight cost). From the furthest to the closest we have:
- Edelweiss A340-300 by Phoenix - the newest version and sold out quick (unlike the first time they made it when they had to compete with JCW). The blue title seems a bit brighter than it is. It is meant to replace my JC version which already found a new lease of life. The reg was also my suggestion to PHX.
- Shenzhen B737-8MAX by PandaModels. My first 737MAX (yay a new type unlocked). Since having read an article that Shenzhen would be putting their MAX into commercial service real soon (the article stated that ch-aviation showed 1 Max of the airline is going on maintenance so I guess would fly really soon). I try to grab it as it is the last piece.
- Bamboo Airways Airbus A321ceo by NG. The last A321 of the trio released by NG that I was still missing. I flew on the exact registration from HAN to SGN so adding the model into my fleet is a no-brainer. Bought it around an hour afternny arrival lol.
- Chongqing Airlines A321neo by NG on the older casting (came with a numbered cards too, limited out of 180). I try to expand my Chinese carriers which I initally reluctant to. As it is also the last model available I rushed to get it (I bought the Chongqing first, then found out Shenzhen eas the only left and bought Shenzhen within 5 mins interval - wish Inhave found it sooner). Now I found that there are so many Chinese carriers that I need to add.
- And finally, the only new model released on 2023 of the batch - Aeroflot IL-62M by GJ. This is a direct successor to my ill-fated Olympics Carriers which is disintegrating at a great pace due to zinc rot. I might gonna make a comparision. The colors on 2 models are different. My issue is that the secondary rear landing struts (both extended and up position as GJ provides)'s mount do not fit into the housings at the 62 tail as they are smaller. I used double sided tapes to make sure they are in place.

Which model(s) is/are your pick from my today' s arrival?

Wow I cannot believe you got the TS Neo so soon! Everyone store I shop from says it will still take a few weeks to get that gem!

recent arrival(s) from Bedfordshire Diecast. slowly those gaps are being plugged.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Awesome. Of all these, that Air Rwanda 707 would be my pick

these arrived today

After the Carnival A300, here's another new arrival for me:

Seaboard World Airlines - Boeing 707-300C - N7322S
Witty Wings (AV400)

Beautiful classic bird. This 707 mould is amazing, in my opinion. This is just the second 707 in my collection; the other one is an Anglo Cargo. Hope to add some more!!! But don't get too excited about this livery... this model is going to be a custom donor. I personally prefer the colors she is slated to wear in a near future.

In its time, it was a stunning livery and remained so until the 747s arrived.

I know a lot of people don’t like Condor’s new livery, but I think it’s really fun. Something different for my collection!

Condor A330-900 D-ANRD from GeminiJets
Condor 757-300 D-ABOI from GeminiJets
Condor A321-200 D-AIAD from NG Models (got this one is September but had to include it in the picture!)
