Hello

Could be a Monarch airlines yeah...or it should need to be something that looks real hard like that.

But anyway what is for sure that it's a Boeing B757-200.

But I'm for 90% sure it's a Monarch airlines.

Best regards: Yannick

That's definitely a Monarch Airlines plane.

I'm hesitating between the A321 and the B757, but my money goes on the B757.

I also go with a Monarch, and I would say that it is a B757.
Compared to an A321 the fuselage seems to long, and I can't find any trace of winglets. (although they are hard to spot at that height).

Hello

Yep , it's a Monarch...but definatly not a Airbus A321 in my opinion(99% sure) , sorry blackhawk.... but It really looks that the wing structure is different and also body length comparisons etc... looks a B757...it has a quit big wing-base for an 321 , and also the end of the wing of the 321 is tinner/less wide I think...to my opinion it's a 757....but I might be wrong...but I shouldn't know why...

maybe this pictures will help determinate the wing structure and body formation:

Hello

I even have a better idea....I have here two very detailed 1:500 new generation models of Herpa....LH 321 and VC-32....I will compare them now.

And yes...indeed....the body of the VC-32 viewed from down under looks better to the picture than the LH 321.

Hello folks!

Have to set something straight:
I wrote;

Sorry Blackhawk , not that I meant that you were thinking it was a Airbus 321 , you just send the pictures.....you probably also knew it was a B752.

So I hope you don't mind me to wrote that...it was not meant bad.

Best regards: Yannick

It's indeed very hard to see, but I'm 99.9% convinced that it's an A321 ...

Greetz,

I changed the topic title to make it a little bit more comprehensive.

My guess is the Monarch B752, because of the same reasons as Bruspotter said.
