What are we looking at this month?

This would be my ideal:

SQ 773ER
Thai 772ER
Asiana new colours 772ER
KLM 737-800
Delta wavy gravy 757-200
Aeromexico new livery 737-700
Caribbean Airways 737-800

Anyone have any clues?

Thumbs up

Either the 737-7 or 772 in AeroMexico's new colors would be great...or how about the plane that caused the livery change, the 787? I'd also like to see a winglet equipped 752...AA, CO, and NW all have them, and a wingletted 752 in the new colors for Northwest would be great as these will be flying from BDL to AMS starting next July...our first scheduled trans-Atlantic service.

Delta "wavy gravy" B757-200 has already been made.

How about some A319s or A320s...UNITED (blue gray) and NORTHWEST.

Garuda, KLM Fokker F-28
Ansett New Zealand BAe 146 (fix the wing please)
CAAC Trident
Garuda A300-600, DC-3, DC-8
Bouraq H.S. 748
KNLM DC-2 (and I'll even be happy if a DC-3 mold is used)
and absolutely NO BI fantasy anythings that just deflect manufacturers (well one anyway) from doing something else with wider appeal.
.....Just my ongoing wish list.

My wish is modest. Just release anything in Malaysia colors would be great. In fact, next year will be Visit Malaysia Year so what better time to release MH with VMY 2007 label.

Geez,
Another useless "wish list" thread, no offense, but I've noticed that these kinds of threads are really garbage. I really don't think they listen to us since they already had their production plans drawn out. The only attention we received are the ones from BBx and its derivatives. Who would want their garbages anyway.
Quite frankly, I was supporting their existance, thinking that more choices are better for us. However with constant garbages released months after months with inconsistencies, in term of quality; some month, you'd think they'd improved/fixed their mould(s) somewhat, but then the next time something came out, it'd be just like before it was fixed or in some cases even worst (please see all their releases and you'll see what I am talking about). I am now convinced that these guys are nothing but another BS, in for a quick buck company.
Anyway, I'm really hoping that all these mfrs. would slow their productions down. My wallet could really use a little break!!

I don't know, BBX and Co are slowly getting better at what they do, and their L1011 mould is said to be almost a serious competition for the DW mould if they just fix the seam on the tail. And they're one of the few that improve their mould frequently (though sometimes they screw some stuff up.) Anyways, if BBX and Co is a quick buck company, then so is AeroClassics, GJ, JetX, Phoenix, 5*, herpa, InFlight, Skyliners, Skymarks, and who else makes replicas of aircraft. The point of running a business is to make a profit.
As for the wishlist thread part, I'm not too big on them myself. I do think that there are a few companies that listen, but the ones that do either don't have the tooling or can't get the licnesing done (that would be the case with herpa, GJ or DW for the most part.) But herpa does listen to its collectors, though they can't release everything that they'd like to.

I think DW also screw up their B767 mould when they release the Maxjet, right?

As for the DW MaxJet, I never seen the final production model, just the little drawing that they give when they announce new releases. But I think its safe to say that all manufactures screw stuff up every once in a while.
