NG Models, Alaska Airlines 737-700: N618AS

1/25/2023

Picture
NG Models developed their 737-700 mould in very short order relative to the company's beginning. That stands in stark contrast to how long N618AS has been a part of the Alaska Airlines fleet. The airframe was delivered to AS in April of 2000. That means this workhorse is pushing 23 years of age. NG Models have gone full steam with their 2021 casting creating up 24 models as of January 2023. They've only made two Alaska 737-7s, this one and a cargo variant.

Aeroclassics, Continental Lite DC-9-30: N18513

Aeroclassics made good use of their stellar DC-9 mould in 2022. They released a total of 17 DC-9s and the first was a pair of Continental DC-9s (released February, 7th 2022), one being this model, N18513 and a sister ship with regular Continental titles, N17531. I was able to add both to the collection thanks to the great service over at JetCollector.com. The model itself is just fine. The mould is the standout feature, and the usual paint and printing issues persist. See more..

NG Models, Virgin Atlantic A350-1000, G-VEVE: New Arrival

I acquired this model among five others in October of 2022 (10/14/22). In September of that year NG Models rolled out their brand new A350-1000 mould. The released this model as well as a Airbus 'House Colors' model with 'Qantas' titles. In trying to keep the collection lean, I usually avoid house color liveries. To this day, NG did not return to their A350-1000 mould in 2022.

I spend a few moments with V2-LEK today. This is one of NG Model's latest Tristars. The model itself is crisp, neat as a pin and certainly holds it's own. For a few bonus shots from today, follow the link.
