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

Unfortunately the Phoenix mould is not without it's issues: the cockpit windows are a bit too large, but an even bigger issue is the shape of the cockpit area is too wide. Additionally, the wings on the A340-600 & 500 moulds are swept too far back.

If HX Models can fix the cockpit print (too large as well), nose shape (slightly too blunt) and nosegear height, it will be a worthy successor for the Phoenix A340-500/600 mould. The wing sweep angle is already miles above Phoenix's rendition.

UPDATE:
After receiving my HX models Etihad Airways A340-600, I the cockpit window printing is not too large (maybe slightly, it's still more accurate than the too-small NG / Panda A330/A340 cockpit printing and similar in size to the Phoenix & JC A330/340 printing). The nose gear isn't too short either; the wheel is too large, giving the impression it is too short. The only major issue is the shape of the nose: it is too blunt.
By making measurements, I found the sweep of phoenix A346/5 wings is about 35 degrees; instead it should be around 30 degrees which is a the same as the A343/2 and A330 family. This is definitely stopping me to buy more releases using this loud. The issue is unacceptable to me as 5 degrees is such a large difference in wing design. Just imagine buying a MiG15 model but fitted with a mig17 wings Lmao.

Of course the wing area should be larger than the A330 and A343; but the sweep needs to be the same
 
I understand there's demand, but........?!!
Though I have a theory....... Recently, CX a350s have NEVER appeared on the official NG website before, and the only 777 to make an appearance is B-HNK (and the fantasy one - so not considered) - obviously due to licensing (?) - so has something changed with the licensing...?

And maybe the same with the EVA?

The Tristars and the A321neo are on there as well. All the EVA Air's are on there.

Yeah hence I mentioned 'recently' - wrt the current scheme - also the Tristars wear the old scheme (not protected by current law, due to their being under another regime, perhaps?). The A321 is from the nascent days of NG when they weren't a big player (that's the HYJL mould btw)

The EVA context is different - my bad - not to be confused with what I was implying on the CXs

If they give us an A350-1000 without the nose sensors finally, I have to get it to replace my current copy.

I expect NG to make the full CX A350 fleet by end of next year :LOL:

The bigger question is, will they screw up the CX cheatline color again?
 
Yes, but my biggest suspicion is that NG saw that AeroPolaris launched the B-18918 and decided to follow suit and launch the same product??? 🙃🙃🙃
That may have happened - my thoughts too. NG's drivers are asleep at the wheel.

Or they're just too busy right now trying to garner corporate / official commissions with airlines in their home country - see their recent forays with Juneyao, Tibet, China Eastern - amongst already existing ones they have for Xiamen, China Southern, Hong Kong Airlines, Comac, etc
