In all our talk of NG did we never start a thread for the JC Wings July announcements? I don't know why the image below says June - these are clearly July
JC Wings July 2025 Announcements
- Thread starter YesterAirlines
- Start date
I had been aware of these since mid-last week so I've got my video done already. Another fairly boring set, but the Condor 757 stands out for me:

To be fair, this is JC Wings. These will almost certainly be "whenever-we-feel-like-it" releases.
Condor 757-200 is nice. I'm sure the European collectors will also appreciate the Lufthansa E-190 and the Nostrum CRJ.

Might have to pick up the SAS A350

This is one of my CRP wishes. Don't know its voting status
The Condor 757 was a very close hit for me. I'd rather have this livery:

Pretty boring release but that SAS A350 makes me want to buy them for the first time. Also, what was Malaysia Airlines thinking with that font on the Manchester United???

meh… some will be happy with a few though. I want to see the actual models first before praising anything with JC. I’m still waiting on my southwest shamu from earlier this year. Idk how much longer it’ll take but I hope i get it sooner than later lol
You can tell which are future from which ones have model photos available. Just the 5 are soon releases - IB, LH, Asiana, Boeing and QF
I think we can call these the August announcements. Sam made a mistake with the posters as this is the 8th set of models this year! Let's start a new thread for these.
As @qweyrhgf mentioned Sam has posted the latest JC Wings announcements, which are mislabelled as July when they should be August since this is the 8th lot this year.
The image below also isn't 100% accurate as I'm told the Yam dreaming Qantas 787 has been taken off the list since Gemini want to make it. It isn't unusual for Gemini to steal JC release choices

Wasn’t sure where to ask this so I’ll ask here. I’m new to collecting in 1:400 (I’ve only collected in 1:500 before which seems to have been a poor choice) so I don’t know which manufacturers are better (as in 1:500 it was Herpa or Herpa). I’m looking to get a Qatar UEFA (A7-BED) 77W model, but don’t know which manufacturer to go for. Phoenix appears to be cheapest but from what I can tell are also the worst in terms of quality? Would NG Models be the one to go for here or would JC Wings be better, or am I completely wrong about Phoenix and should go for that one instead?

Phoenix 777s are pretty good to my understanding. NG and JC are also solid options, so really it will depend on if you want it sooner.
NG has it as a future release and I believe JC is also

Ok, good to know, thanks. Phoenix is quite significantly cheaper, so I might go for that one. I can only preorder the phoenix and JC Wings model, my local retailer doesn’t have the NG version available to preorder. If phoenix is of similar quality to the JC Wings and is expected sooner then I think it makes the most sense.

Yes JC Wings has no ETA ever, so it's best to stay away from pre-ordering that
VASP B737-200 PP-SMC was cancelled by JC 
the two exclusive VASP B732 models of @pedrominiaturas (BR Diecast) are still alive, though.
However, they're delayed... just JC being JC.
