I'm well aware of the other schemes, I was asking as if he knew a second one was coming ("holding out hope that the other 747")
No sir, I'm afraid not. I just read where you stated that there were two Shuttle options and I was hoping that meant a second and different 747 as well. Alas, after a bit of research it appears that the rego on the 747 is the same for both shuttle variants. But I'm still hoping that they will release the ex-AA bird in the future.
Glad to hear the shuttle is detachable. That being the case - I'll definitely be getting this release.
It would have looked gorgeous had it been the iconic ex-AA NASA 905 in its original AA livery
And then perhaps expand on the AA 747-100 theme...... for example Columbia Airlines from "Airport 75" and Stevens Corporation from "Airport 77", (to go with my BB 1:200 "Airport" Trans Global 707-300)

+1 on Columbia Airlines from Airport 75. I have probably watched that movie a couple dozen times over the years. Love the air-to-air shots of the 747 as they fly through the Rockies, and now that I'm old enough to appreciate it, the cliched dialog and wooden acting!

Yeah...I must admit to being an "Airport" movie series tragic. I love them all, even the woefully-bad "Airport 79 the Concorde".
My favourite though is certainly "Airport 75" with the classic flying scenes such as when Karen Black was "flying it...flying it herself" , (with apologies to George Kennedy). The biggest and best-looking star of both "Airport 75" and "Airport 77" though would have to be the big ol 747-100 herself!!. In an era before CGI, film makers actually leased/used real aircraft for flying scenes.....ahhhh the good old days.
I would love for all the "Airport" movie jets to be released in 1:200 diecast...then maybe followed up with the jets from "Skyjacked", "Die Hard 2", "Passenger 57", "Delta Force", "The Langoliers", "U.S. Marshalls", etc etc etc

Now, this doesn't fit my regular 1:200 collection criteria by ANY means. But I'll consider picking one of these up (dependent on a few other factors). It looks really cool, and this is really a historical moment captured in Diecast with the last couple Space Shuttles. I would liken this model to the First Flight B747-100 released by Inflight. I like it very much so far, even if the shuttle looks a bit like a birthday cake ornament . I think it looks fine actually. This will definitely be a delicate model!

This shuttle is a disaster. Not that I would have bought it, because of my collecting policy (and lack of space !), but I feel sorry for those who were waiting for it.

Airport 1975 and Skyjacked are 2 unique movies which have actual air to air footage of a real planes through out the whole film. No models, no computer simulations, nothing, just the real thing all the way through.
Although i would love to get a 1/200 747/Shuttle - the pictures so far shown will allow me to wait a bit longer and spend money on other items of interest. The shuttle is a real deal breaker the way it currently looks. The version shown by Istari, well that would be great to have. Also would probably prefer the AA cheat lines as well.
