To Andrew: Is there a plan to Reissue the AeroClassics Props?

N1011 · 09-26-2003, 10:16 PM

With the success of Dragon Wings re-releasing popular 747 models, is there a plan in the works to re-issues the props such as the Electras, DC-6's, Viscounts etc...? If yes, when? If no, why not? Just wondering, Robert.

aklein707 · 09-26-2003, 10:33 PM

Viscounts, Vanguards, FH-227's, no, or at least, not during 2003/2004. There are still a few very limited decaled FH-227's coming in the next few months.

DC-6 & Electra, yes, in line behind the DC-3, which will debut next week.

After the recent poor showing with the 767 & 747 releases, we are concentrating our focus back on the 1950's, 1960's & 1970's.

We're putting the "classics" back into AeroClassics!

KJC · 09-26-2003, 10:36 PM

Andrew, I can't wait for the DC-3s, etc. but what about the Constellations? I'm confused about what's going on with this mould.

ba777-236 · 09-26-2003, 10:38 PM

What about VC-10's? I'd love a (printed) re-release of of the BOAC and elusive red-tail British Airways.

So how bout it Andrew?

N1011 · 09-26-2003, 10:40 PM

Thanks for info Andrew, I hope the L.A. Dodgers, Eastern, Air California, and PSA would be great and as a suggestion the prototype would be an interesting release as well. Robert

Andrew,
Is the electra a re-tooled mould?

jjorgemiami · 09-26-2003, 10:48 PM

Darn! I was hoping you would release the United B747-222 in the new colors, to fill that void in the fleet left behind by Dragon and Gemini!

Thats great news Andrew. I am so glad to hear that the DC-6 and Electras are making a comeback. Frankly, I would not mind seeing the VC-10 (possibly a Super) make a return

. While I still believe that the 767 and 747s are exceptional and have set a new standard for this scale, still if they are not selling then you have to cut your losses. I am sure that BB will pick up the slack (albeit at a noticebly higher price

) . All in all it is good to see that AC returning to it's beginnings.

Hooray!!!!! Just when I was about to give up and give in, Dr. Klein provides reason to keep on keepin' on!!!! The glory days of aviation, and of my long lost youth, may yet be reliveable! Believe I'll spend the rest of the night watching my tapes of Sky King, just to heighten my joy! THANK YOU, AK!!!

P.S.--Any way a fanatic might pre-order/reserve one of those few FH-227's???

I'll make this real simple:
