Not crazy about this new livery - the shade of blue is what I have the most reservations about, but I will hold my final judgement. I am excited to see the future tail designs. As per JetBlue: "JetBlue’s all-core aircraft will also receive new livery designs with refreshed patterns and a broade...

Where to Donate Models

Hello all, I have a few 1:400 scale models, mainly GJ, that I am looking to get off my hands. I have done ebay in the past, but to be frank, its not my thing - too much of a hassle. I contacted one of the stores that I shop with, to see if they would take them, but they never got back to me. Unfortu...

What I would like to know is if we will get to see some MD80s in the new livery. My opinion is yes as I feel that it is going to take 5-8(max?) years to phase them all out. I think they might paint a few MD80s in the new livery, those MD80s that they plan to retire last.
