YAY!!!!

The 757 is my favorite current aircraft (Well, it is out of production, so it might have to join my other fave which is the 727, in the historical favorites section) and the more models of it the better. I'd particularly like to see the TWA final scheme 757 released. It would look good next to the Starjets200 model I already have, but, of course, in metal it would be much cooler.

It's looking like GJ is going to focus on current airframes in their selections for the 200 line. Guess that leaves tetro aircraft for the folks at Inflight. Could be an interesting separation of markets.

Anyway, gotta have this Delta!!!
Too bad the MD-80 is a different scale otherwise these would look great together.

As for the next 200 releases look for two 757's with winglets domestic and a very colorful airbus not so domestic! (I live in the US so domestic, to me is US based) And another 737 from way up North!
Well to me the only one i can think of meaning a major 737 airline is ALASKA AIRLINES and that will be nice and i hope the 757's will be AMERICAN, UNITED but i don't think they'll come yet but who knows...!!!!

No matter what comes next, who would have thought - even a year ago - that we'd have so many amazing choices for 1/200 scale models? Very cool, and very expensive for those of us trying to buy all these great models!

David, I believe, is still referring to the 1/400 scale 757s cockpit windows as being incorrect. Gemini did mangle several of their 1/400 B757 releases such as the Delta "Widget" and one of my personal favorites... the Avianca 80th Anniversary!





However, I do think the cockpit windows in their 1/200 scale example looks good from the angle of the photo.

You know David's not talking about the 1:200 DL 757 pictured in this thread, right? He's talking about the 1:400 GeminiJets DL "widget" scheme 757, which has really high printed cockpit windows.

EDIT: Yeah, as IKONOS pointed out.

That means that we are talking about an American carrier, but not exactly US based, that goes international? and is very colorful?...
My guess would be Skybus 320, orange with the butterfly on the tail

I doubt it will happen, but you'll never know. I am wondering if it is not an asian carrier with a colorful Airbus or a European carrier with the same thing.

airbus probably air Jamaica since it is not technically "domestic". And, Crown Vic, hurry up with an md-80 mould so that we can enjoy that excellent Md-88 in the delta widget in 1:200 scale

Next two 757 with winglets are domestic so...
I'm guessing AA and CO?
Well, I'm loving that DL already... Not a big fan of Aeroflot, but I guess I'll get both of them anyway...
