Same.

Air France Airbus A350-941 F-HTYJ 'Cannes' in the delivery colours by NG. F-HTYJ is the 500th A350 built (it is MSN 500) but not the 500th delivered. The 500th A350 delivered is EC-NXD, MSN 567, an Iberia aircraft.

Wrong. Yam Dreaming 787 rerelease, Boeing 747-400 prototype and if I remember correctly, Singapore Airlines 747-400s in the Tropical livery were all part of the first approved wishes and NG released them. That being said, most of the first approved wishes are yet to be released but saying that...

I would say the NG is better but the Av400 is still a very good model. For starters, the nose is more accurate on the NG although Av400’s A350s are not that much inferior and the one thing which makes the NG more accurate is that F-HUVJ, being a 2024-built A350-900, has the PIP which the Av400...

I have seen some of your customs from the picture you posted on this forum and I must say they look amazing. Do you change your models whenever the real aircraft is getting changes or do you only make the changes once per model ?

Yes I also have the Av400 one and I am tempted to get the Aeropolaris one as well.

Air France Airbus A350-941 F-HUVJ 'Paris' in the Crevette livery by NG. F-HUVJ had the 'Paris 2024 Partenaire Officiel' sticker from its delivery in July 2024 until October of the same year. As someone who doesn't care about the olympic games I found it annoying that they were invading...

It’s longer than the -900 but shorter than the -1000.

It could also be the fact that the A330-300 is longer than the DC-10, making the livery look emptier on the A330-300.

Air France has set a retirement date for its remaining A330-200s https://simpleflying.com/air-france-airbus-a330-retirement-date/

The Lufthansa livery is fine, but to me it really depends on which aircraft you put it on. For instance, I like the A319, A320 (ceo and neo), A321 (ceo and neo), A350, A380 and 747-8 fine in the new livery, I don’t mind it on the A330, A340 and 747-400 but I am not sure about the 787-9, that’s...

F-GZNP aborted takeoff at LAX after a Gulfstream jet entered the runway without permission. https://simpleflying.com/air-france-flight-aborts-takeoff-lax-gulfstream-enters-runway-without-permission/

Air France Cargo Airbus A350F by NG. It's a fantasy model, the kind of model I'm usually not found of brands making as I prefer having models of aircraft that exist in real life and those fantasy models take production slots away from other models. So why did I buy this model then ? I bought it...

The Barcode liveries have held up rather well through the ages. I also hope Air France will never move away from the Barcode style liveries, it’s too associated with AF's brand identity. Air France has found a timeless livery design, it doesn't need radical changes.

It’s diecast but the landing gear is made of plastic.
