New NG mould coming soon?

[Mark22]

NG posted on Facebook that a pair of classic moulds is coming soon. Rear engines and most likely a narrowbody. Will this be the MD-80s? Or something completely new like 717s, 727s or Fokkers?

Perhaps it's the final samples of the 744/742? Not sure what else I'd like to see, because I unfortunately doubt that most classics would get the usage they deserve.

No, they mentioned "engines behind and slim fuselage".
Did they officially announce the MD-80s? Might be them.
Or maybe the DC-9!

You're right I guess. They've not officially announced the Mad Dogs afaik

A sample of the MD-80 was shown at the Amsterdam Fair last September, so it wouldn't be a surprise. I'm also not expecting them to work on even more new moulds for a while.

It's just going to be the MD-80s. They did exactly the same thing with the A330neos a few days back.

NG never officially announced the new moulds they gave me samples for

As much as I'd love to see NG surprise us with an F-28, this will be the 80 series.
That being said, very excited to see what releases roll out first.

Good to see NG finally getting the MD-80 underway. Hopefully this will help speed up the process of me buying all the Mad Dogs I want, especially since GJ is on a good Mad Dog streak right now.

Would love to see all sorts of Deltas! I wonder if they’ll ever attempt to make 717s, or all sorts of DC-9s. That’ll be a hit!

 

[reggiehunt]

I’m hoping for Swissair in that iconic chocolate stripe, Alitalia in 80s colours, Alisarda, and SAS.

Certainly much needed for my Malta 1985 diorama.

 

[777-300ER]

I hope they release Delta MD88 and 717 in the current colors.

I hope they release Delta MD88 and 717 in the current colors.

GJ already did those. I wouldn't mind having more, but the Ron Allen scheme is a higher priority for me since it's the last one that hasn't been done yet; GJ just announced Colors in Motion as a future release.

I want to see a DC-9-10 next since no one has done a decent representation of it at all in 1:400!

Northwest, Republic, Continental, and the early AA variants would be especially welcome...

And I believe Ozark had a few also right at the end.

By contrast, Indianapolis in 1985 was still dominated by 727s and older DC-9 variants. As of February 1985, there were only two MD-80 flights at IND... TW 123 LGA-IND-STL, and TW 414 going in the opposite direction.

A 717 in the original AirTran scheme (WITHOUT the Elton John stickers!) or the Indianapolis Colts special scheme would be wonderful.

I have them all on my Mad Dog wishlist. You’re correct on Ozark, I think they had a few unfulfilled ones also that TWA took.

Yeah I noticed that this morning haha

Yeah definitely the mad dog. They even said on wechat that "you can see its shadow on a Chinese airliner (meaning the ARJ21)."

If NG doesn't pull a fast one on us, then there's one livery I think we're all looking forward to seeing:

GJ made it on an older mould. I hope you enjoy your model but please don’t just think about yourself and your models. Let other people on this forum share what they want even if the models was already made years ago (and i’m not the only one who want a new Delta MD88 on a new mould).

Yes I hope they release this one too: American Airlines MD-83.
