Artwork by Jennings Heilig, and screen printed in Italy by Cartograf, our latest 1/144 scale Boeing 757 decal is here!
It’s designed to fit the Zvezda kit, built with the Pratt & Whitney 2040 engines, and without winglets while in TWA service.
Trans World Airlines ordered and took delivery of a total of 27 airframes, with 17 owned (-231) and 10 leased (-2Q8). All were delivered in the late 90s in the scheme depicted by this decal.
When TWA was bought by American Airlines, the fleet of 757s were all repainted in American Airlines markings. However as the main AA fleet was Rolls Royce powered, the ex TWA airframes were sold, with most going to Delta AIrlines.
DRAW Decal has released another set for the Airbus A.321P2F, this time featuring the Japanese company Yamato Transport.
The logo is a black cat carrying her baby kitten in her mouth in a yellow oval, as shown on the front of the aircraft. Designed by the company’s founder, it is intended to symbolize the company’s promise that they will take care of items entrusted to them as if they were their own. The logo on the tail shows just the heads of the two cats. The A.321P2F is operated for Yamato Transport by Spring Airline Japan (a subsidiary of Japan Airlines). The initial fleet will comprise three airframes, with the first delivered in November 2023, with services planned to start in early 2024.
DRAW updated their Cathay Pacific 747-8F artwork with the new titles (adopted in 2023) which dropped the word “Pacific” and enlarged the “Cathay Cargo” wording.
Druz Resin has released their CFM Leap-1A engines for the A.320NEO and A.321NEO kits by Revell and Zvezda. Note the curvature of the pylons is matched to the respective Revell or Zvezda wing.

26 Decal has released their Air Anglia DC-3 set in 1/144 scale. It was previously released in 1/72 scale (TS72-193) and 1/48 scale (TS48-008).
26 released a decal for the AMP Douglas DC-9-41 kit with markings for Swissair. Swissair leased four series 41s from SAS in 1974/75 prior to the delivery of Swissair’s series 51 fleet.
Vintage Flyer Decal has released two new sets for Pacific Northern Airways and their Lockheed L.749 Constellation fleet, for the delivery and later schemes. Both are available in 1/144 and 1/72 scales.
DRAW has also released a decal for the Canadair CRJ-100ER painted in Lufthansa CityLine markings while used as a demonstrator before delivery to Air Littoral. No CRJs were actually delivered to Lufthansa in these markings.
DRAW Decal has released another Boeing 2707 SST ‘Flight of Fancy’ scheme for an older Northwest Airlines scheme. It is available in 1/200 and 1/400 scales.
26Decal is also re-releasing three earlier screen printed sets that were sold out a few years ago. They are at the printer, with an eta in stock early march 2024.

8ADecs released a pair of sheets for the Hasegawa 1/144 scale Embraer 170 .
X-Scale Models (Ukraine) has released their second all new kit, this time the British Hawker Siddely 121 Trident 1C.
24 were built, all for British European Airways. Only 23 entered service, as the 24th (G-ARPY) was lost in an ‘deep stall’ accident before delivery. The first was delivered in August 1965, the last in in July 1966, and flew exclusively for the airline and subsequently British Airways until their retirement in the mid 70s.
One airframe (G-ARPO) remains, preserved at the North East Land Sea and Air Museum in Sunderland, painted in Northeast Airlines (UK) markings. A little ‘poetic licence’ here, as Northeast never flew the 1C. Their Tridents were both series 1E, which were the same length, but featured an increased wing span, an uprated Spey engine, and larger fuel tanks for longer range.
26 Decal has released screen printed decals for both BEA schemes, and one for British AIrways (with both British Airways and British titles). The kit can be ordered from AHS with your choice of the three decals.

8ADecs has released the first in a series of LATAM Airbus A320NEO decals that have tails painted in colors to commemorate the home countries of the airlines that became part of the LATAM Group. PR-XBG is painted featuring the green and yellow colors from the flag of Brazil is the first so painted, with Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay likely to follow.
