Thumbs up GJII Delta 777

I was at the main Delta gear store (FlightStation) today and saw the GJII Delta 777. As if I needed to spend more money not to mention on a model that I kinda already have. Anyway, it is superb. Here is the list of improvements:
1. "Skyteam" Logo
2. tail seam gone
3. more detail on the passenger doors

I have one major complaint. Why oh why did the reg # have to be the same as the original GJ 777. It could have been the "Soaring Spirit" reg# in current livery or N867DA, but Noooooooo!

Did anyone else get this improved re-release? Did you notice any other improvements, other than the ones mentioned, as compared to the original N863DA?

I'd really love for GJ to re-make both the BA Union Flag 747 and 777. Though GJ, if you're listening, please make different reg numbers!

Post There are so many others that should be made.....

How about SIA and Vietnam airlines? I would rather see these than remoulded AA and others that have already been released. And for the love of A. Klein new reg. #'s please if you reissue some.

Do you know where the major Delta Employees Credit union Branch is? Well, FlightStation is the next block to the left, heading east on Virginia Avenue.

Bus line yes, train station, not really. You would probably catch a bus from College Park station or East Point Station.

Saw an ad in "SkyMall" magazine, that PACMIN made a 1/100 model of a Delta 777. Only $395.00. Hope they take checks!!

(Extra-strength sarcasm.....OFF)
