Is there any other livery it could be? The n/c versions were already released so I'm hoping it's the Springbok livery too.

Are the Japan and virgin America 767 possible, i thought andrew was no longer useing the 767 mould, unless he made his own, are virgin nigeria classic enough? (all i same ill be haveing one)
Westjet although a 737 is a must have been thinking about the dragon version for years but never got it, ac will top the dw.
South African 300s must be springbok livery as n/c is already done.
There may be a JAT club model also but ill take both,
Alitalia DC10 will be my first Alitalia .

Only 6 AC for me this month, not much exciting from gemini either, lightest month for a while, just watch phoenix blow my saveings theroy out the window soon.

Both pax and cargo? Sounds as if both will have the same color scheme then - and IIRC there wasn't a Cargo aircraft in delivery colors (1970's colors that is)

Though 1970 colors would be a killer release.


Edit: Yes, pics are up and it's 1980's colors and once again wrong engine cowlings for the A300B4

you can subtract the 767s from the list and add a Thai DC10. and subtract all the Lan Chile altogether = confusing

It's confusing because certain retailer(s) cannot keep info to themselves until Andrew decides exactly what is for April and what is for May.

You´re right Nick. Every month is the same thing.

As my post didn't make it any longer than 2mins before it disappeared on 400SH, let me try it here...



I'm a bit worried with AC's research/qc on recent releases.

That there's once again a batch of A300 models with wrong engine moulds isn't a surprise (sadly) but it now also seems to affect the DC-10 releases which until now got both engine variants correctly done (remember, both A300B2/B4 and DC-10-30 shared the same engines)
While OO-SLA is correct for the scheme represented, I'd think OO-SLB had already been converted to the later cowling when this scheme was applied. Sisterships SLD/E where already delivered with the later engine cowling.

And where's the overwing walkways on the Lan 707?
Might we ever see a DC-9 with all grey wings? I'm quite sure the USAF had them this way.

Okay, lots of nitpicks here, but I'm disappointed with the fact that AC simply don't get their A300 engines correct - and that not SAA delivery A300B2 was done. Moreover, the current engine would at least fit for these early production airframes.

Solution: Not tell the retailers until AFTER we officially announce.

So were the JAL and Virgin Nigeria delayed till May, or are they just "Green Box-ish" releases instead of official ACs?
