#1) Oh Laddies and Lassies, the fables come true, best to have this one with a pint of the brew.
#2) From Merida to Monterrey, wherever she takes you, you will want to play.
#3) A frequent visitor who sometimes goes a miss, she will get substituted by her older big sis.
#4) If you grew up in Pittsburgh or Buffalo too, you remember fondly, this polished 32.
#5) Hotels and shows, this one does well, better hope your flight isn't delayed, or it won't be swell.
#6) Three classes of service, you would not expect, once you are onboard, you might say, "What the heck"?
#7) A brand new type, a brand new plane, do you think this one will have to be explained?

I am still waiting for my pre-orders from the last hints. And talking about pre-orders, some stores make you pay for the model if you order it and you wait for 10 years (it feels like it) for it to be delivered. #7 if it ain't Russian don't bother. Probably A350-1000 or Dream Lifter.
It was mentioned before that this was going to be a September release.
#7 Bombardier CSeries (Swiss or AirBaltic).
I don't think Swiss or AirBaltic as those will or have been released by Herpa and as I understand it they share the mold with JC/GJ (great mold btw). But I'm thinking CSeries as well. Maybe an early release of Delta or Air Canada?
#4 USAir DC-9-32 in their first livery? Pittsburgh makes sense, Buffalo not necessarily. Since these hints aren't really accurate, you could maybe say a NW DC-9 in the red tail livery too.

Herpa has a different mould, and personally I think it's not looking too good...

DC-9-32! I bet that's it. GJ has already produced one USAir DC-9-32 so maybe this one will be in their 80s colors.

What make sure you think they have a different mold? Did you get the Swiss model yet? I really like it, they enlarged the cockpit windows compared to the sample that was shown at the toy fair and their cockpit windows are bigger than the ones on the JC Flight Test scheme. I see Swiss CSeries nearly every day and would say that the Herpa model represents the aircraft well. Heard rumors Herpa is thinking about releasing the Swiss CS300 special livery.

I've seen photos of the CS100 on ACB, and while it's not a bad looking model, the cockpit windows and nose gear looks strange.
DC-9-32! I bet that's it. GJ has already produced one USAir DC-9-32 so maybe this one will be in their 80s colors.
If it's a DC9 in the old rust brown paint scheme I'm buying it!!! To this day I can't explain why, but I have always loved that paint job. I'm not even a USair fan or collector.
Todays GJ's hint #7 kind of celebrates that SWA took delivery of the first two of 100 B737-8MAX aircraft and the announcement that SWA will be the launch customer for the -7 MAX variant, scheduled to enter service in 2019.
I think ALL the clues will have to be explained. Vague and relatively meaningless as usual. Looks like we are down to just guesses at this point.
I think I'll just wait for the actual announcements.
I definitely second that, Charlie. Maybe with the exception of the 'Pittsburgh/polished -32' which has to be a US Air classic (either DC-9-32 or 737-200). They need to get back to better hints and poetry - it's pretty meaningless the way they are doing it over the past couple of years, indeed.

I agree with you the cockpit windows don't look good on that model but that is the sample model and not the release version. I would try to take some picture so but I only have my iPad and my phone camera. I might try to do so later when the light is better.
I think IF200/Bluebox are the only mfrs. who have the B732 mould.
No...JC Wings released a set Pan Am 737-200's a few years ago. Set of 6 or so released. Very nice mold. Not sure I've seen any other models issued on it or not.
Been thinking. As a Canadian that lives close to Pearson, I see ads for Rouge a lot and I do know that they have three levels of service on the 763. My friend who recently went to Las Vegas on one, told me that, so perhaps, and just maybe #6 could be the Rouge 767-300. I know us Canadians would LOVE that

Oh, that's right and they also did Ansett. I still don't think GJ would use the mould, though. My bet is on a DC-9-32 in '80s colors seeing as they released one already in the '90s colors. The '80s livery is awesome.
