Just say NO to Apollo400/Black Box/Panda Models/Junk-X/First Choice/C&C/IF400/AV400/Witty400/Magic/AV200/AK200/Flightline/Flightline200/Flightline400/Pegasus/Blue Angle/5stars & any BigBirds (real or fake)
A couple thunder guppies. United battleship, surprisingly never been done before. Or, Delta widget - previously done by GJ. But, of course, AC does a better 732.
Would also be nice to eventually see a United large-titles 747-100/200, especially with white nacelles. The previously-released YC400 was small-titles, bare metal nacelles.

Would buy one of all of these (both the 747-100 and 747-200!). Have heard it said Battleship doesn't sell well but they're damn near impossible to find if you missed on initial release!!

Where did you hear such crap?? I think the one that obviously doesn't sell well is the so-easy to find everywhere for purchase UNICON merger livery models.
Battleship 737-200 please!! And if you're listening, GJ, Battleship 737-500 please!

I'd like have all of Jan's suggestions hereunder and the missing Condor DC-10-30 in white livery (grey belly).
And the Aerolineas Argentinas 737-200 either in delivery colours or in blue Iberia-style colours.

D-AIDC in grey c/s with white or blue door outlines (A310-300)
What about the Airwork Banana 732's that were buzzing around New Zealand up until 2010? The special New Zealand hushkits would be a problem to model though, but IMHO they are quite ugly and I wouldn't mind if they were left out. Or the hushkits could be separate from the model? https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8395528
N306FE was also the first DC10-30F purchased new by Federal Express.
We also are missing the 727-200 purple livery from fedex, only the -100 have been done .. I am sure you can have a cargo and a purple PAX/convert freighter.
Federal Express (FedEx) Boeing 727-2S2F/Adv(RE) Super 27. Built in 1984, N217FE (cn 22938/1832). She was the final 727 off the Boeing production line.

will check some pics
I agree, we need a Federal Express 727-200 in old colors. Yes, N217FE would be a great one to have.
Here's my AC "wish list"
DC9-30: CO last color scheme; RC Mary Tyler Moore scheme
DC9-51: RC first scheme; TWA last color scheme
737-200: Federal Express; Delta "interim" scheme; Presidential; UA Battleship gray
727-100: American; Continental; Eastern white top;FedEx both schemes; Northwest Bowling shoe; Piedmont; United Saul Bass; TWA twin globe and twin stripes.
727-200: CO last scheme; FedEx first scheme; Hughes Airwest; Northwest thermometer scheme; Republic Mary Tyler Moore scheme.
DC10-10: FedEx first scheme
DC10-30: FedEx first scheme
A300: FedEx current scheme
I know some of these have been released before, but I missed them. I think a
Re-release of the Hughes Airwest is a must.

Excited for the FedEx 732 and Condor DC-10
Looking at the photo from jetcollector, looks like they also released the gray condor DC-10 too this month!

Two additional PIA DC-10’s, AP-AYM & AP-BBL, which weren’t seen available in July are also up for pre-order at Jet Collector along with the August releases. A very nice surprise.

Models I want to see in 1/400:
Boeing 737-200/300 Condor (grey), Boeing 737-500 Air France, Boeing 747-200B SAA (white belly), McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 Aero Lloyd
I would LOVE all of these. But please lighten up the Northwest Orient red!
This has been mentioned over and over again, but falls on deaf ears and they still use a DARK red on Northwest Orient models. Others got it right - Northwest is a bright 'regular red' !

The missing B.707s still needed to be done in 1/400: Uganda Airlines, Luxair,
DC-8s still needed to be done in 1/400: UAT, Iberia ('80s scheme), Air Ceylon, Air Spain, Seaboard World (-63CF)
Aeroclassics Comets still missing- Dan Air (4 & 4C), United Arab Airlines/Misrair/Egyptair, Kuwait AW, Sudan AW, East African AW, Saudi Royal Flt.
The Air New England FH-227 looks very nice, but I can't believe that a Delta FH-227 model has not been made by AC? As Gemini seem obsessed with releasing every aircraft ever flown by Delta, this is one that AC has an exclusive mould for.

Not to mention dealers ordering small quantities of product. I routinely hear of dealers ordering three pieces of this one, 6 pieces of that one, none of this one...makes it kinda hard to gauge demand or supply. Makes it tough on collectors.
