ALL NG 'Future' 1:400 Release Announcements (Rednote / Instagram / website / etc)

RIGHT - I think this is what a lot of folks here are missing - while the releases deceptively appear as 'just' multiple registrations - if one looks closer - there's actually a lot of diversity - to accommodate both display collections and dioramas as well as those looking to build broad diversity within their airline fleets.

More often than not, airlines have different configs for the same airframe, but to the naked eye, it looks the same. Using VS as an example, if I were making a MCO airport, I'd prefer VELJ and VNVR from NG over VJAM and VTEA (AeroPolaris). Of course this is not happening for every airline, but I would like to do this when I can.

Yep, it’s nice to have a choice. SG_ or SJ_ for folks in Europe and NA, SH_ for those in Asia etc etc.

This is my shot of SJG that I would love time have. Being from ATL, it's quite hard to see many Asian airlines apart from some cargo services. Despite the decent release, I already have two 350s and I am in no rush to upgrade.

yes generally the most dominant aspects are the overall mould, livery accuracy, detail accuracy - unless one looks closely at the cabin window organisation / sometimes exit configs that is - then things start becoming interesting

One specific example for me is the Delta 763s. All but one in my collection are L1 boarding door only which is prototypical of the fleet as most of those have since been retired. Like I said, when I have the option to discriminate between engines/ cabin configs I can, but for the majority of my recent collecting (especially for my Africa projects) if the airframe is the same I don't really care. In this instance with SQ is a good example of repeating while the BA 35Ks are not because they're all the same.

Do all the different SQ A350 versions have the upgraded winglets?

Only 9V-SMA to SMU have the original ones; the rest have the upgraded designs.

The SQ 350s. They’re currently sitting in “future” with an undetermined release date.

I messaged NG on IG about the SQ and BA A350s, they are looking at a November/December release.

Hopefully we'll get an 'official' Xiamen 787 now
They've released quite a few - before their official tie up with the airline that is

Just curious, do you mind sharing your opinion on this :) cuz I honestly never understood what's special about "official" releases, they only make the box bigger and the price higher IMO which is quite annoying haha...

Hahaha
I just put it in as fact
Basically I've missed picking up any NG Xiamen thus far, so am hoping they'll cover all types again.

Price wise though I've not noticed or observed any difference between the official products and the others - Thus far I should state.
Only difference is if you buy the Ultimate edition.
Yes CUA was only released as Ultimate - which made it 10% more - but I bought all - they're so beautiful

Quite interesting they’re doing two more regular 350s plus The Delta Spirit. But good to see them still putting out previews, even if they have a bajillion of those now 😆
