Since nobody is going to release the 747-300 in the near future, I would really love JC to release the KLM "The world is just a click away" on the same mould as this Dragonair.

I'm not actually sure what mould this will be. JC Wings has never made a series 300 before. It's possibly a new version based on the new 400 mould but I suspect it is the old seamed Gemini mould (they last used in 2003). It's ok but obviously pretty obsolescent by modern standards. I actually have a Dragonair example made by Phoenix in 2006. I think it might be the same mould. There are so few 747-300s about it is hard to know for sure:

Varig and Swissair while they are at it too...

Actually what am I on about? It's most likely to be the BigBird version they have hanging about isn't it? Of course! Sorry brain fade there!
Agreed that is a decent mould and the Air India's cameout really nicely

That's why I mentioned it. I don't believe NG will make the mould anytime soon. They are most likely focusing more on perfecting the -200 mould (as they should). Nonetheless, this is a great time to be a collector of these types of retro/semi-retro models since a lot of competition is taking off around them right now.
I didn't see your comment immediately, but yeah, it would look really good in the chocolate livery for sure!

Yep, the Wunala is already in stock but I won't give up on the idea that they will make it on the 747-300 (1:400) mould since Qantas painted the same livery on both the -300 and later -400 (which is the one being released in 1:200).Well at least one is coming soon, the Nalanji Dreaming (posted by Sam on Facebook), along with the Wunala Dreaming. No mention of when exactly, only that it will be somewhere this year.
Edit: nevermind, just noticed it's 1:200, sadly
Btw @YesterAirlines , you mentioned in your recent video that good things are coming to JC, something similar which is happening with Phoneix, right? I really hope that JC also start making some obscure and interesting liveries on their strong moulds aswell... Maybe the idea of some nice 747-300's is not that far-fetched in the case of JC Wings.

Yep, probably from the same batch. Not a particularly well-made one at that...
I might get the CX 772, but the 1:200 7461 is a must-have.

I'd like to see Varig being made using the same mould and detail quality of this recent BigBird (??) Air India B747-300

JC should rename itself to RR Wings, for all the rereleases they have been doing lately. 
Same old, same old. The 1:200 Nalanji Dreaming 747 is nice though!

That would be awesome. For a subject like a Varig 743, I would even go with Phoenix, but even their version is hard to get...

I think I saw one at my local retailer last weekend, I'm happy to ring them up and check for you.

No, the 747-300 (Nalanji) and the 747-400 (Wunala) were completely different liveries. Wunala went from being on a 747-400 (VH-OJB) to a 747-400ER (VH-OEJ) when Qantas took delivery of their 400ERs.
Also, this a damn boring set of re-releases, if this was NG people would be losing their minds

Funny how JC keeps re-releasing these yet NG absolutely refuses to touch them, so folks who want them in high quality are left hangingNo, the 747-300 (Nalanji) and the 747-400 (Wunala) were completely different liveries.

Obviously I collect Delta so I get spoiled like a brat so I’ll never understand what it’s like for you guys in the countries NG probably doesn’t even have on their globe over there. However I can imagine how annoying it is when there still something released that is of your interest but it’s like eeehhhhhh not the best. Then you see top of the line moulds being reused like short form content nowadays and it’s like you said, just hanging, almost as if companies are blueballing us…
