Another tin box arrival! N519US "City of Cleveland" in the thermometer scheme with Northwest Orient titles made by NG. Her much newer sisterships now fly with Delta which got her into my collection criteria.

This will remain one of the best schemes ever to grace any aircraft - and an example of classic minimalism done right ✅✅✅

I loved this even better with the discrete white logo on the red tail.
 
I have been off the grid as of late and just received these special livery classic Qantas Quads. Starting with the narrowbody:

Qantas B707-338C VH-EAB “Have a Qantastic Christmas” by Aeroclassics. This is my first ever actual 707 in my collection which I have secured for a fairly nice price. Qantas has reused this reg on a 747SP as well.

Qantas B747-238 VH-EBM “Boxing Kangaroo” by BigBird. I have had a streak with BB 747 Classics as of late and hopefully I can feature another photoshoot with an incoming model before I get back to Germany. Despite incorrectness, the BigBird 747s are more eye-pleasing for me. The nose-gear on this one was in its original plastic packaging, which i did not plan to install it for the time being. Hence, no photoshoot for this Queen. The chrome is not as shiny as I have imagined though.

The GE90 on the Air Austral looks quite small, makes it look like a base version B777-300 instead of the 300ER model :unsure:

Up until 2020s were the GE90-115B on Phoenix’s 77W small. They have resolved the issues now. Iirc, they first install the updated the larger GE90 on the B77L (i guess Qatar Cargo with current smaller oryx as the first updated release). Several months later the corrected version were employed on the 77W (Aeroflot last B77W pax ever made as first release).
 
Here are my latest arrivals, I got some beautiful exotic airliners here and of course a few Aussie airliners.
