    NG Models' SHIFT AWAY from US Releases: 40% US to 20% US from 2020 to 2025!

    Add to that, apart from the regs the horrendous color remains. Really hope their next WN release features a fixed color.

    NG Models' SHIFT AWAY from US Releases: 40% US to 20% US from 2020 to 2025!

    You are incorrect, they made one in July 2021 (806). I have that specific release.

    NG Models' SHIFT AWAY from US Releases: 40% US to 20% US from 2020 to 2025!

    Tariffs might be the true answer if this had been a short-term situation, like with the first half of 2025, but the data shows a very clear long-term shift that’s only exacerbated by the ongoing tariff deal. I would argue that this shift would’ve happened anyway even without the tariffs. That’s...

    NG Model 1:400 June 2025 Release Hints

    Very late to this but I’ve been away on vacation. Unfortunately as I expected those MD-80s were Americans, but on the plus side they did a standard black nose livery, so I will give them credit there. Otherwise this release is right about what I expected it to be with plenty of China aircraft...

    3D Design Deck June 2025 Release

    Going to preorder that SkyWest. Love that NWA final livery too, but hopefully the Bowling Shoe one is not far away!

    NG Model 1:400 June 2025 Release Hints

    Amazingly NG listened to their social media comments and added that European and UAE hint.

    NG Model 1:400 June 2025 Release Hints

    How can four retro planes in this release make up for what Gemini has been producing for half of this year? I understand the frustration some people have with them making the same airlines over and over, but they have made some awesome MD-80s like the Delta Ron Allen and Frontier this year —...

    NG Model 1:400 June 2025 Release Hints

    Outside of the Tristars and Mad Dogs this is going to be an awful release. Everything is either from China, Korea, the US, or Taiwan. Hopefully they decide to slip in a couple extra models outside of these countries because the backlash they’re getting on social media is immense. I get the case...

    DAC Selective Post Deletions That Enable Abusers

    Respectfully, what I’m trying to get at is there seems to be a violation of some forum rule here. As stated in the rules, there shouldn’t be any hateful content posted, and that is what I’m noticing in your reply. It won’t matter that it’s the truth if it’s to be conveyed in a hateful or...

    DAC Selective Post Deletions That Enable Abusers

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s necessary to bring stuff like this from one forum to another. This isn’t even about model airplanes!

    Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

    I had a similar toy Air Force One model as a kid, though my engines weren't that nice!

    I’m thinking of starting a retro series for my model airport, I need a little help

    Happy to hear my Retro FSD series gave you inspiration to pursue your own project! Finding other years would require you to purchase timetables of the airlines that operated to RDM. They're fairly easy to find if you check eBay, I recommend these two stores: - dk0 (he also sells old airplane...

    Mexicana Huichol tails

    I love those tails. Really hope to add one myself and especially the DC-10 in the first photo with that older livery!

    ANA FESTA Shop - Haneda Airport

    Looks like an awesome store! Definitely more catered to your average traveler but I'd love to pick up some of their other items if I were to go.
