Nice work once again Rui! I particularly like your shots of the new Alaska CV-880!

That TTA (Tree Top Airways) DC-3 is a no-brainer as well as the AI Connie (though I would have preferred an Air Ceylon). As for the F-27s, are these new moulds or re-releases (something never heard of from Andrew) ? The reason I as is because the NE looks a little like a first generation AC mould. The Convair looks nice but personally I am getting a little burned out to AS aircraft, I hope that there will be additional carriers offered when this mould is released. Still all in all, it looks like Jan will be a promising month for AC.
Judging from the pictures available, AC did a great job with shaping and printing the nose/cockpit section of that 880.
Really love it!
Great model, although I'll pass on the Alaska - to white for me.
Those engines look huge!
I'd like to have a CX880 in 1980s colours to go with my CX707s.
Hope I'll get my hands on one of those CX ooc 880s, too.

Fear not. You know Andrew will be offering this modern sleekliner in more than one livery. The airframes are intentionally selected to provide as much mileage as possible, thus a return on the development costs. Limited livery possibilities are why we probably will not see a 1:400 Avro Tudor (ugly so who cares) or de Havilland Comet 1 ( sniff )
We already know a "mystery manufacturer" will probably copy Andrew's beautiful 880 mold and do a Cathay Pacific delivery livery (oooooooh yes!) and there is no telling what else we'll see one way or the other. I can understand how some people might have had enough Alaska (and Braniff... ) but I haven't. Bring 'em on!! Alaska's liveries are classic.
I can't wait to add the Alaska CV-880 to my ever growing AS fleet! That model looks awesome! Also can't wait to see TWA, AA and house colors CV-880s and CV-990s.

The more things change, the more Mesa still sucks.
That Alaska 880 looks great.
I like the choice of color schemes for the first release and we still have the Golden Nugget scheme left to do too. There have been some really great "Alaskan" releases of late, still more to come, I hope.
This "Fly Alaska" livery is absoultely classic retro, I can't wait to see what comes next. I have been waiting for this airplane for a long, long time. There is no need for me to make any suggestions, I will be happy with whatever scheme ends up on this airplane!
Thanks, they have some more kewl pics...BUT its still not for sale!! .... pics are nice, but in this case I want the nice 3D view of it sitting on my shelf next to my GJ Flying Tigers 747!!!
PS a place that takes American $$ would be nice too

That and Jet America are great historical planes of the Alaska Air Group lineage. Yep they keep getting better. I hope we see Alaska's CV-990 also in the near future.
Other missing Alaska's. Curtiss Commando C-46, DC-4, DC-6, L-1049 same scheme as CV-880,CV-240, B-727-200: 78' scheme, Jet America MD-80, Alaska MD-80: 78' type scheme, 727-200 current scheme. I would have hoped for Boeing B-720B an Eastern hockey stick design. 707-320 in Golden Nugget scheme. It was in that scheme for awhile.
