    Do you all have a favorite brand in your model collection? Is there a brand for each model that is a priority, or do you all prioritize themes.

    NG makes up about 2/3 of my collection, followed by Gemini and Panda, but I do have at least one from each of the other current main brands (AC, AV400, JC, Phoenix). NG has just been the most reliable combination of quality product and release choices that fit my criteria, albeit not as many as...

    NG Model January 2025 Release Hints

    Not as big a month for me as I thought it might be based on the hints, but the Eastern Tristar more than makes up for it. A bare metal EAL Tristar has been one of my grails since getting back into the hobby 3 years ago, so am thrilled to see NG finally making it. Also good to see more MD-80s...

    NG CRP Requests

    Noticed as I was scrolling that it looks like the other bare metal EAL Tristar has made it through as well, so that's great to see.

    Final NG Models Mould Samples 767-200/300

    Re: the high window lines. It looks to me like these are suffering from the same issue some others have pointed out with NG's A319s and 320s, which is that the overwing exit door printing looks a little too small. To my eye, the window line issue looks less noticeable on the examples with no...

    NG Model 1:400 December 2023 Release Hints

    What a disappointment about the color. Don't think I've ever said this about an NG model before, but I'll wait for someone else to do it better. I'll hope that they correct it for the upcoming 73Gs, but considering that countless people told NG they got the color wrong on the SWA MAX8 yet it...

    NG Models January 2024 Release Hints

    I'd be down for a TWA Tristar since I missed their previous ones. N26xxx, N22xxx, N41xxx should be the three Southwest Heart livery 73Gs that were announced as future releases. Been looking forward to those but am tempering my enthusiasm until we see how the colors turn out.

    NG Model Delta A319/A320 title issues?

    Here's the 319 and 320 together. I had the 319 arrive a couple weeks ago.

    NG Model Delta A319/A320 title issues?

    My DL A320 arrived yesterday and I had much the same reaction. It basically looks fine in person. Is the window line a smidge high? Yeah probably. But not enough to be bothersome for me.
