Don't know where to begin. Aeroflot, SF, UTA, and the C-46 new mould. I like how those engines look.

There is also a Pan Am C-46 N67980 made by Pan Am Models which of course is just a brand of Aeroclassics. Now that's a nice model and I have it on preorder already.
Great to see a C-46!

Aeroflots 330s are good! Although I was expecting the three little brothers, not the two big sisters this month! It's all good.
The C-46 is a very welcome surprise. Some nice liveries to do there!
Not a bad month at all and still under budget.
Oh I agree...but it seems to be the general fashion that people knock AC for releasing 'modern' types like A320s, despite them having by far the best A320 family mould.

Perhaps they blame AC for releasing the A320 in the modern nonsense liveries, rather than A320 itself. Perhaps people would not "knock" AC as much if the A319-320 was released in United Battleship, British Landor/Lufthansa re-release and etc... if AC re-releases Air China with 6-10 models each month (are 90% collectors being from China?) than why not rerelease British and Lufthansa???
I will buy PanAm Commando, Delta DC-8, both LH 707s.
Is the main fuselage colour on the Virgin, comparable to the Phoenix or Gemini VA releases so far ? Hard to judge by the photo but it looks awfully white..

The fuselage white (white is not a colour by the way, it is a "shade", as is black), is comparable to the real aircraft. White and black are a base that either brightens or darkens whatever "colour" it is blended with. Add black to white, for example, the result is a shade of grey. Grey is not a colour, it is also a shade. Add white or black to any color the result is a variant of the color that was mixed with white or black. Being an art major in college during my formative years, until I got wise and switched to business, taught me this lesson that I now bestow on you, Big Al.

That's a lesson you had to pay for, so you need to be charging Big Al a consulting fee...recoup that school expense.

The "Delta Air Lines" DC-8-61 is definitely an under the radar release. Very Nice.

That's a lesson Goldy imparted to Big Al and me on a volunteer basis. Neither one of us asked for it but I appreciate the lesson nonetheless.
Yes, I am willing to share my limited knowledge.

Hmm, guess you're an expert in 50 shades of grey Norm?

There could be more than 50 shades of grey.

Thank you for imparting your art school knowledge Peewee, I feel honoured and edified...
Now then... back to the original question. Is the main body "shade" comparable or indeed does it match in "shading" terms, the 'tone' 'hue' or 'saturation' levels displayed on recent Phoenix or Gemini Jets new livery 'Virgin Atlantic' releases ? (see I added a little art school terminology of my own there).

White is white. I have always suspected that basic white will photograph different depending on the camera and the lighting. I maybe color blind and don't know it so to me the white shade on all three examples appear the same. I'm comparing a variety of photos of the Gemini and the Phoenix to the one photo of the AC, Al.

Probably sold out already, going by previous experience...
I have at least one for sale in my online store. No one has bought it yet. So, no, they are not sold out yet. But they will be soon.

I was very excited to see the C-46 coming, at last ! Many interesting liveries, I hope it will be used more than the Fokker 28 or Herald...
But then I was very disappointed at the UTA Caravelle, supposed to represent a 10 R (or 10 B1 R as it was officially labelled by Sud-Aviation). But what a joke ! Wrong engines, wrong cockpit, wrong door and logo placement, if it came from another brand it would be shot down in flames !
Ethics ? No way ! Just another model for the "panic buyer".

"Open your eyes, because the revolution won't be televised"
Still looking for following 1/400 models :
AIR FRANCE Concorde F-BVFC & F-BVFD
AIR FRANCE 747 delivery colors F-BPVH
But then I was very disappointed at the UTA Caravelle, supposed to represent a 10 R (or 10 B1 R as it was officially labelled by Sud-Aviation). But what a joke ! Wrong engines, wrong cockpit, wrong door and logo placement, if it came from another brand it would be shot down in flames ! Ethics ? No way ! Just another model for the "panic buyer".
I love it Another AeroClassics f*** - up coming from the man who condemns all his competitors ....
THE WORDS PEOPLE AND GLASS HOUSES come to mind.

That's right, we need to spread the wealth from the "panic buyers", and we also know that a UTA Caravelle will never be made again by anyone.

Hello All,
Inaugural sqawk;
a) Τρανσλατιον Πληζ φορ νον-Ρωςςιαν Σπηκερs
b) Photos of new releases on official AC website along with announcements on fora would be nice too!

There is no excuse for this, as there are still many hot sellers that can be done on the AC Caravelle III/6 mould - Air Algerie, Luxair, Libyan Arab Airlines, SAS (SCANDINAVIAN titles) etc.
Andrew - you can't condemn JC for making a JAL DC-10-40 on a DC-10-30 mould, when you are in the same boat?
