Favourite Dragon Release

Sean767 -YVR · 08-18-2001, 07:58 PM

What is your favourite Dragon Release mine is the Canadian 767-300 and the 747-400.

Thanks From Sean

Ozz · 08-18-2001, 08:07 PM

I love em all, but if I had to pick one it would be the Canadian DC10-30 "Spirit of Canadian" Signature jet.

Qantasflyer · 08-18-2001, 08:17 PM

I love them all too but the model I really want to see has not been produced yet.

The Air New Zealand 747-419 with GE engines registered ZK-NBV. I flew on this aircraft last year from Sydney to Los Angeles so I'm kinda partial to it, and Air New Zealand's 747-400s are my favourite!

Starliner · 08-18-2001, 08:29 PM

For me it's a 3 way toss between KLM, SQ Tropical and QF Wunala Dreaming, all, of course, 744s. And right behind those is the Japan 767 AWACS and the 747 w. Shuttle.

USairways · 08-18-2001, 09:28 PM

I have so many favourite DW models , i give u my top 3 models(mould and livery )
1. TG MD-11
2. Edelweiss A330-200
3.Hawaiian B717-200

Colin · 08-18-2001, 09:34 PM

Tough choice. Some definite favs are:

Caledonian L1011

Canadian 763

Korean MD-11

China AL MD-11

Impulse 717

Wunala Dreaming (they pulled that off in their hit and miss days. I hope they try Nalangi with their current quality!)

AA Retrojet 738 (MM)

AA MD-8X (all are nice)

JAL Reso'cha 743

------------------

Favs GJs (for balance)

Mexicana DC-10

National DC-10

CP 742

Delta L1011, 741

Delta, Aeronaves, Eastern, Alitalia, NW DC-8s

Korean (OC) 747SP

Korean 773 (can you tell I like their colours?)

Saudia, Air France 707s

BOAC 741

----------------

You know, I collect and like both makers, but I've always found that DWs have more of a "wow" factor coming out of the box. I think it's because GJ's metal tails just look too thick to me, or maybe it's less detail for the control surfaces.

LeitenderNotarzt · 08-18-2001, 09:46 PM

Sean,

I think DragonWings had several very good releases, the Caledonian L-1011 and CP Air B747 on top of the list. I also love their B767-400 mould (the availability of more colourful B767-400 liveries definitely depends on the real thing's sales).

Furthermore, DragonWings' B717 is noteworthy as something like "the most innovative release" so far.

DeltaFlot · 08-18-2001, 09:51 PM

Hmmm, favorite Dragon release. well my favorite is the one with the wings, the jet engines and the tail. yea definitely that one

Osman · 08-18-2001, 10:02 PM

Hmm....it's really hard to decide which is my favorite Dragon model. I like them all. If I had to choose, I guess it would be my very first 1/400 model, the Lufthansa A340-200 in the Star Alliance colors.

Sean767 -YVR · 08-18-2001, 10:02 PM

Russ that's hilarious, I also like the one with the wings the jet engines and the tail (my personal favourite)

Thanks From Sean

ANTHONY F DUVA JR · 08-18-2001, 10:15 PM

It's got to be that twin-decked flying salami, the A-380. I hope I can get one at Airliners Northeast.

Although I know that many of you will disagree, I like the model forms of the early impressions of what planes will look like. Once they actually enter service, the discrepancies are interesting. For instance, many models of the F-117 stealth fighter have too much sweep back.

justplaneobsessed · 08-18-2001, 10:38 PM

Definitely the Wunala Dreaming for DW. I don't think there's any other that comes close as far as I'm concerned.

Edwin

Full Flaps! · 08-18-2001, 11:15 PM

In that order:

KLM 747-400
CALEDONIAN L 1011
Eastern A-300
CityBird MD-11 (Albatros)

Jao · 08-18-2001, 11:43 PM

SQ Tropical version
KLM 80th Anniversary
Eastern L1011

tops the list but I like all of them so far.

Blisterbum · 08-19-2001, 02:57 AM

Tough question !!!

Nah!!!! My faves are all the Philippine Airlines release. The reason is obvious ( hehehe )

Jao · 08-19-2001, 05:33 AM

ey Erick can I include the CebuPacific here??? It's also a Dragon basically hehehe.

AV8TOR · 08-19-2001, 08:04 AM

Hawaiian B717

F - JACK · 08-19-2001, 09:11 AM

For me
SQ Tropical version
Alitalia Bulgari

Like the schemes !!

Louis · 08-19-2001, 07:38 PM

B747s

kl729 · 08-20-2001, 01:58 AM

I love most of them but I love the printing quality of the windows from GJ. They have the right size and the frame is not as thick as DW.

08-20-2001, 02:08 PM

Wunala Dreaming!!!

Rockhopper · 08-20-2001, 02:20 PM

Mine are....

SQ Tropical
QANTAS Wunala Dreaming
Alitalia Bulgari
Hawaiian 717
Canadian 767-300
Airbus A340-600

...and hopefully the Martinair MD-11 that I`ve had to order because the Gemini one has dissapeared (I must have dreamt it!).

frontier737 · 08-20-2001, 02:32 PM

My favorite is the Cathy Pacific "Spirit of Hong Kong". Hopefully one day I can say it is a American CV-990!
