Vidar_710 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Just heard about these guys last week visiting my local hobby shop. Couldn't believe my eyes, an Aurora 1/96 727 pre-pop! Had to grab it! 40+ years and $100 separates these two kits from the same molds. One stays on the collection pile, the other will be a TWA build! 3rd grade in 1972 is the last time I built this kit.

JohnEB Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) You missed their 1/72 DC-9 in Hughes Airwest and TWA colors! Also, Atlantis is about to repop a pair of old Revell "box scale" jetliners: The Boeing 707 in 1/139 scale, presumably in American Airlines decals since they call it the "Astrojet", American's tradename for early jet service. And the Convair 990 in 1/135 scale in unknown decals. When released in the '60s it came with Swissair and SAS decals and Atlantis usually does a new version of the original kit decals. But Vintage Flyer makes a wide range of decals for it. Both kits are scheduled for a June release. Edited January 15, 2021 by JohnEB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vidar 710 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I look forward to that. I'm an American Airlines 737 pilot. The AstroJet livery is my favorite, with the Twin globe TWA as a close second. Continental Golden tail and meat ball would be third. Tracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
