It's listed as a 'Fantasy' on AvMgS - is it because JC got the colour terribly wrong?

You said it best - they got the color terribly wrong indeed!

It seem like the majority of this month releases came from JC warehouse, I wonder why is that

That Lufthansa and China Airlines B744 are very convincing. But, since the LH model comes with an AviationTag, I can imagine the price to be wayy up there...
I could have sworn JC did a release of this model recently. But, after a quick search, it turns out GJ made it last year with the same mould (HL7784)

HL7204 was supposed to be a WORLD EXPO BUSAN-themed with KPOP group Blackpink on the side. It was also announced by AV400 and PH this month, however, JC only just did a standard livery. I wonder if they found it too late to put on the stickers or too hard to have a good yield.That Lufthansa and China Airlines B744 are very convincing.

Or they rightfully thought the livery was absolutely hideous

Yep, KE does that whenever a new model goes up on sale on their store. The GJ retailer here doesn't even sell KEs (regardless of manufacturer) anymore because of that warning.

just spreading some rumors here after JC announced that a fantasy Cathay model will be made.
totally unattractive.

A non-interactive pax 744 would've been far more attractive. And I'm starting to fear fantasy 748s taking precedence over real ones, regardless of brand...

Ah Collector Wings - I did heard news from their owner about a possible fantasy "Lettuce Sandwich" 748i - which he claimed the idea dated all the way back at around 2020
There are some reasons that forbid JC from actually trying though - thought it's something about the polished belly
I don't think it's the one JC is teasing on IG though - If they really wish to announce this plane they would have use the "Arrive in better shape" slogan and related posters (Circa late 80s - early 90s) instead of the 1994 brushwing launch "The heart of Asia" slogan. It also didn't fit the release prerequisite that Collector Wings claimed.
A fantasy brushwing 748 though are possibly on the cards

Comeback after further confirming that it's the Brushwing 748i being teased on here - I somehow jinxed myselfA fantasy brushwing 748 though are possibly on the cards
However I don't think JC are gonna release it - unless NG also comes out with the idea that a fantasy CX Brushwing 748i is a good idea
