Default Photos: American Airlines Collection Part 2

Hey guys,

This installment features the Boeing fleet in the new colors. Now that Gemini has re-released the 737-800 I'll be able to add that as well. Not many people are fans of the new livery, but I like it and I hope my photos do it justice.

Enjoy, and please share any of yours as well!

Beautiful pictures - absolutely beautiful! I am a fan of the new livery as well and your pictures make the colours pop. Nice work!

Do you have any of the 757 and 777-300 side by side or top views next to one another? I was always curious for the size comparison since I do not have a 757!

I have this "One World" B777. Very happy with it.

No problem! A threw another model in there to give you an idea of the size.
Thanks for the kind words.

Neilc...your pics are stunning. Love them...love them. Sure the new livery is nice, but I request same photo session for the classic polished ones please.

WOW! Another amazing shot! I cannot believe the size difference between the three models. Very nice collection you have there. Maybe I'll invest in a 757 one day!! Thanks for taking the time to post this picture. People should post these size comparisons pics more often. It's very interesting!

Appreciate the kind words! Unfortunately I don't have many of those shiny ones left but they'll be next I promise. I sold my 2 767s and 2 777s to free up some funds for new releases. Awhile back I sold my 737, 727 and 757 before I really started collecting AA. Maybe JCW will release some more, who knows.

No problem, glad to do it! I'll try to do more size comparison photos in the future and a great subject would be the new EMB-120. It's tiny!

Beautiful collection! Especially the 787. I really like the new American livery. The old one was a bit nostalgic, but I think they made a good move.

I love the tail on the new livery. But not a big fan of the muted dull grey color. I'd love to see this tail on the old shiny aluminum livery.

Great photos!

Very nice collection! They look great together I like the colour of the model with the wooden stand.

I spot an Air Canada tail down there - which model is that? :P

What type of display cabinet are you using?

Very nice collection, but I am still not sold on the new AA colors. I will look at the 787-9 when they start flying it and it is released as I have several 789s, but otherwise I do prefer the old scheme a lot more.

Nice collection of AA aircraft. Your camera work is incredible. If I were a manufacturer, I would be sending you my samples.

I am using the Ikea Detolf Display Cabinets with added shelves... and yeah... you spied my Air Canada collection below the Americans... I'd love to see more Air Canada releases from GJ/JC

Amazing collection! How do you like the Detolf cabinets? How were you able to add more shelves - because they come with 4 shelves or something?

Hopefully GJ/JC do release more ACA birds. I'm from Canada and I don't have one yet!!

I think so too, I wish they retained the polished aluminum, but the silvery gray color I think is a nice substitute.

Thanks! Yeah that would be cool, but they should've retained the eagle somehow on the tail.

Now that puts my collection to shame wow! Thanks for sharing! Same here on the new livery. The old colors needed a refresh and they did a good job with it. But like you, I didn't like it AT ALL at first. Now I love it! Wish I could say the same for all the DL new liveries.

I can't wait for the 789. Maybe you could try one in the new livery and see if it grows on you!

Thanks for the kind words Brian, we can only hope they send the samples to me.
