16 New Model Samples To Be Announced & On Show at the Amsterdam Fair This Weekend

[keji833]

I don't know what they are? Where did you get those from and why do you think they are NG? The 146 looks more like a JC version??

Posted by my friend who's one of NG's leaders.
Confirmed with him, these are not from NG. So no 1:200 CJ7 for us then, big sad.

Hi All. It is time for the last announcement of a 400 scale model that will be on show at the Yesterday's Airlines table at the Amsterdam Fair. It has been an astounding week probably like no other in the history of the scale so hopefully this massive unprecedented haul of samples will not disappoint! It seems fitting to end the 400 scale announcements with one of the moulds we've been hoping for for a long time. The 747-200 won't be the only Jumbo at the fair as there will also be the 747-400 powered by PW4000 engines. This version was used by airlines such as Air Canada, Air China, Air India, China Airlines, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines. There's still a pair of 200 scale samples to announce. Hope to see you at the AMS fair tomorrow and Sunday.

That’s good to know, I’d like a Philippine Airlines example.

Oh hell yeah, now we're talking! Can't wait for these three.

 

[Mark22]

We really need this one. PH-MPS, the only remaining aircraft wearing the Martinair scheme and currently over 33 years old. Is most likely being replaced within a couple years. Only Dragon made this scheme on the PH-MPP many years ago.

If I remember well, their B747-400s had GE engines!

 

[LeoMuse747]

Fantastic!!!
Can't wait to see which liveries NG will bring us!

 

[KL808]

Does NG have CF6 and RB211 moulds?

 

[Aviation Enjoyer]

Does NG have CF6 and RB211 moulds?

The L1011 uses RB211s and they seem to be the same on the 747s so they probably do.

 

[B767Avia]

Oh hell yeah, now we're talking! Can't wait for these three.

Finally an HL7461 with the correctly fitted nosegear doors!

 

[Phantom]

Not on a 744.
But I'm 110% certain NG will have all three powerplant options.

Richard, make sure NG does the NW 744 pictured in your post. Together with a 747-151 "as delivered" of course.
I so hope they don't screw the noses on these moulds.
And that they'll have the correct pylons for an early to late 70's built 747 ready.
(The SPs pylons are only good for subjects not earlier than late 70's)

I think you need to put something together for me on this I can present to them.

If this ever gets done, I hope the rest of us can chime in with suggestions.

I’d want Ship 6301 to be made, it was the first 747-400 made and was delivered to Northwest Airlines before being acquired by Delta Air Lines, it is now on display at the Delta museum, even though NG doesn’t really make Delta’s anymore.

 

[Planeoldwill]

Very nice. Quite happy to see NG adding the 400. I hope we get an RB211 and a GE version as I'd love to see them make a virgin Atlantic, Silkway and Cargolux

Better than nothing...

Until they announce a -400 with RB211s or CF6s, not much will interest me. Perhaps a Cathay, Singapore or Ansett, if NG even know if those airlines exist.

Pessimism aside, I can't wait to see what this stirs JC into releasing on their fully-fleshed out 744 catalogue. I don't support market flooding 99% of the time, but if it means I can get my hands on a good model, I'm in.

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Isn't the most recent JC AI 744 in the PW4000?

 

[1/400collector]

Isn't the most recent JC AI 744 in the PW4000?

I honestly don't see a reason to make another AI 744

 

[LeoMuse747]

and honestly, that Air India 744 released by JC looks good to me.
While I do support NG releasing B747-400, the JC Wings version doesn't look bad at all. They only need to increase the length of the nose gear, though.
