In this case, the Apollo/JC Wings cockpit windows and the nose shape look bonkers and awful… Let alone the engine exhaust cone’s length. Going to have a field day on that poor nose shape…

The green reflection seems too shiny by me, especially the first photo. What I am bothered about is that NG keeps printing the cockpit windows & the zorro mask too high these days. If one looks at the real thing above (image courtesy of Heathrow Airside on 13/1/2026), the passenger window is...

Apparently Aero Polaris is releasing Cathay Pacific 80th Anniversary “Lettuce Leaf Sandwich” retro livery B-LRJ. Hooray!

I've finally received my Aero Polaris Cathay Pacific A350-1041 B-LXP from Aviation Retail Direct, ahead of another package next week with French Bee, Virgin Atlantic G-VTEA and another CX B-LXO. Let's take a look of the model and a short comparison vs NG Models' Airbus A350-1000 Qantas Project...

Very insightful, thanks!! Can be 100% happy when receiving the parcel now!

Really eager to see photos of the Aero Polaris A350-1000 mould and the winglet. These photos from Wingsworld (will share my own photos once I get my own one from mail) seem to show Aero Polaris putting the 3 SSA (side-slip angle) sensors beneath the cockpit. But I don’t think B-18918 ever...

They also posted this on their Instagram :)

Me too! Also keenly awaiting the first photos for Aero Polaris’ Virgin Atlantic A350-1000!

Looking forward to seeing it as well. I hope Aero Polaris would pay attention to the A350-1000’s shorter & wider winglet, versus the A350-900’s tall and thin new winglet. NG has just lost it recently - putting the -900’s tall and thin new winglet onto the A350-1000 (a few CX A35Ks are like...

The NG’s APU has a more circular shape. The Aero Polaris Air France A350 has an oval shape, which I think is more similar to the real aircraft?

Just received my Aero Polaris Air France A350-900 F-HUVJ today. What a beauty! In the photos I am comparing NG’s Finnair A350-900 to Aero Polaris’s AF A350. - Aero Polaris has slightly less pointy nose - Aero Polaris has bigger cockpit windows, positioned lower than NG’s (some of NG’s recent...

While true on the HKE A320, the window line on the Jetstar’s A320neo and Delta 100th anniversary A321neo is now at the same level as the horizontal stabiliser.

if NG pays attention to the printing quality, they would notice on the Jetstar A320neo/Delta A321neo the over-wing exits are way above the wing. Passengers aren’t supposed to “jump” onto the wings in the event of an evacuation…
