sudan airways 747 would be nice, but aeroclassics attention to old airliners is too dull for me ..

Ah Crap! More B707's and a B720 to add to my collection. It will be expensive again this month. Glad I give up on the B747's a long time ago. To many of the same types being released each time with only a reg change here and there.

This will help collectors to build a fleet with different registrations. And If you build an airport model, you don't have to buy the same types of plane/airline with the same reg.

I for one am happy AC is doing the old "first 7s"...those are great planes. An Eastern is fantastic! I wish they'd start doing some more Russian aircraft, instead of continuing to crank out a million variations of Tu's, although a Sibir is nice.

The above doesn't make sentence sence. At any rate, AeroClassics' forte has always been the production of older airliners and liveries. More power to them.

Please note: According to Aeroclassics the release of the three Sudan Airways 707's has been rescheduled to next month. The above list has been updated accordingly and features another release as officially announced by Aeroclassics.

There are 2 planes on the list I would have purchased, but I'm sticking to my commitment not to buy Aeroclassic product. When AK starts treating his collectors with some respect I might reconsider.

Great! That means more of these fantastic models will be available for those of us who actually enjoy model planes, not waging pointless battles on chat boards.

It seem as if there are two versions of the Sibir TU-154M. Same reg. but one with the "www.S7.ru" logo and one without. JetCollector.com has listed both.

I understand your postion and respect your opinion. I would ask that you consider that Andrew sells all of his production to retailers and the retailers are the ones who profit much more from the sale of AC models than Andrew does. So your decision not to buy an AC model affects the retailer much more than it affects Andrew. If your retailer treats you with respect I would hope that would carry much more weight when you consider to buy or not to buy.
