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

[MacSergey]

Any idea when we’re getting the next future releases? Been a long while since their last one.

I would not expect any before they ship the April release models

Do we think they’re sending the CRP’s with the April stuff?

They’ve ‘soft announced’ several future releases on Rednote recently. Whenever they post a picture of a real life aircraft it usually means that they intend to announce them as future releases at a later date.

In the past few days, NG posted pictures of Starlux’s Gold Airsorayama A35K, KLM’s first A359, as well as the first A35K-ULR prototype with Qantas markings. They’ve also announced exclusives for this year’s Hobby Expo China, a re-release of Shanghai Airlines 787-9 with ‘100th aircraft’ insignia in both ultimate (with limited edition collector’s card) and regular versions, and a Y-20B ‘Flying over Tian’anmen’ Set.

Fabulous to see more A350s taking to the sky with newer airlines - especially more A35Ks!
Hopefully we'll get to see NG do all of these!

That’s what I’m assuming. Unsurprisingly there’s been no communication about this.

I guess this means the A318 is getting a wider release later?

Same.

didn't kylin just do one in this livery?

 

[Willard]

According to NG website, only the Ultimate version Shanghai Airlines is exclusive. (They even mistake the year of HEC)

Does that mean the regular version is available to retailers? It is different from what they said before.

No they did A319/320/321. They don't have an A318

With a production run of 1000 units I doubt these will be really exclusive to the fair just like the Panda Bahraini 767 and Finnair A350 weren't last year

 

[keji833]

also a few years ago I recall NG did a jetblue A321 supposedly exclusive for some fair but apparently released as a regular later, I doubt it will be 100 units only TBH

any particular reason CFM56 engines are mentioned? Were there other engine variants?
I couldn't recognize any differences between the release artwork and the CRP wish image

Yes, the A318 also had PW engines as an option:

They should have made different options for the new and old livery. I would like to have both, but having the same plane twice little bother me

I see this reg is F-WWIB

 

[MacSergey]

Interesting. these models actually have different engines. anyone know if it was the same aircraft but Airbus changed engines or they are two different with the same reg?

As per planespotters, only one A318 airframe - MSN 1599, ever wore F-WWIA - so these are two versions of the same aircraft

yeah, I saw it, I might guess that the fact that they mentioned "with CFM56 engines" could mean that they are going to release not HEC exclusive version with P&W engines
