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

[DreamlinerFan2016]

Or are they just doing exactly what they said they would do all along - releasing models from the wish centre which is exactly what it is for. That Hawaiian A321 is a wish that is at least 9 months old just like @planes_on_a_shelf said. They are listening, but not to 'feedback', they are listening to the wishes in the wish centre that was setup exactly for that purpose.

They've released 24 wishlist models already from a wish centre that started in October and didn't have any approved models until at least November. Given production times for a 400 scale model are easily 6 months they've actually done surprisingly well.

That was my request from NG

Glad that they got to your wish finally. Hopefully they do more of yours soon!

Just asking but what is 'Pearl of the South'?

By the look of it there is small text on the lower fuselage ahead of the Boeing 777 titles. I assume it is just the name that frame was given.

Interesting!

afaik, CZ doesn't name their aircraft. This one was an exception - carried the moniker until a few years before retirement - as per planespotters

I was taking a look at some pics of this bird on Jetphotos. Indeed, it seems the name was retired in 2010 and the plane was sent for storage in 2015.

Here's a 2003 pic

by 2010, the name was already gone

Yeah as a CZ collector, this is a unique and special detail. Will look to get this one.

It looks like the small text below the Chinese characters says “TRANSPACIFIC ETOPS FLIGHT”.

Yes, curiously, all CZ 772er frames had this

Bets on when NG will announce this one. Per the news all of Hawaiian's current and future 787s will be transferred to Alaska and painted in this livery. Personally it gives off euro-budget airline vibes and without Chester something feels off.

Yeah quite disappointed with this
Both Alaska and Hawaiian have such distinct identities

Especially Hawaiian with their distinguished history and livery and operational, design and staff culture. Besides the striking livery.

Hawaiian shouldn't have cancelled their A330neos - they'd have received them by now and the airline needn't have been sold over.
