Aero500 was chosen to show the link to AeroClassics.

I'm pleased with the initial enthusiasm, and hope this will become a success!

Lots of good suggestions so far, and happy to say, some are already in the works!
you're getting us all even MORE excited, mr. klein!
i personally can't wait for the next few releases.

But either way, I hope that you will realease many nice aircraft as you do in 1:400. I managed to hunt down one of your older releases from 2001 (the Air Florida DC-9-14RC) and I'm very happy with it and I hope to pick up more of the older baby niners when I have the chance.

I think a great suggestion would be bring out a AN-24/26/30. There are many nice and interesting liveries those aircraft wore and still wear today. Ones I am particularly waiting for are LOT (post 77' colors) and especially some Aeroflot and Aeroflot arctic. A LOT Cargo AN-26 wouldn't be bad either. Just so many possibilties with those (even USAF), I'm highly suprised no one had considered trying to make some. I have a feeling they would be very well accepted in both the AC400 and Aero 500 line.
a short time ago, SQ introduced the 77W into service - an ultra-modern aircraft. yet SQ chose to look to the past for inspiration for their inflight products and branded them "bringing back the romance of travel."

mr. klein, please bring back the romance and nostalgia of flight! i suggest you keep a good mix of current and retros in your collection! a lot of us would love to see the A300s, DC10s, L1011s and 747 classics populating our airport dioramas. i believe this is a niche market that companies are only now beginning to exploit. and even the real airlines are going retro with their liveries.

Re: New Release: Aero 500 Korean Air B777-200

If we're talking aircraft types - I would like to suggest the Boeing 720 and the Boeing 707-100 series. Lots of nice classic liveries to be released on either model!

The A300 is a very big hole in the 500 scale
E.G.:
AirJamaicas ChinaAL THAIs Garuda MHs Air India IndianAL ARIANA PIA Qantas AirHK China Eastern/Southern/Nothern Philipines AirMacau F IRANAIRs Mahan Kuwait Etihad Qatar(new) Saudias Egiptairs LybianArab TunisAir AirAfriq SAAs VASP VARIG CruzeiroSul Alitalia AF Laker Iberia UPS...
And the queen of all A300 SUDAN AW

also completely agree with all the 777s sugested here specially the TAAG/THAI/AIndia/PIA
