Not sure why they would skip the D****y livery because it has proven to be one of the most popular in wish & vote..

yes just seeing the artwork! that's great - so two aspects of difference from the previous one - definitely worth getting

I’ve been dreaming about a 7636 model for 8 years… No way they’re doing another run, and one just happens to be 36

Seems like these are a response to complaints about 44’s engine logos. Awesome to see that NG (seemingly) still cares.
pretty annoying (and extremely frustrating) when you think about it.
This is like a re-run of the D-ABYT fiasco. At the time, I was forced to duplicate my purchase to get my hands on the corrected V2 with the rectified plastic cradle. My copy of V1 had 3 aerials missing / pulverised in their long journey to here. Besides of course the batch artwork errors.
These are expensive models!
NG may end up doing a re-run of HL7644 after a few months - going by their history. Will I buy that V2 (again)? No, I don't think so. I'll live with the V1 error - which is a bummer. considering how long I've waited for this reg. Only to end up with a flawed model. Sigh

I honestly have zero qualms despite having pre-ordered 5(!) 44s. Yes they’re now dead weight, but there’s hope NG will finally nail it on a more significant reg (for me). But I totally understand how frustrating it would be if you’re not as madly obsessed with the subject matter…
Re-runs unfortunately seem to be the norm for NG 748s, first editions always have some sort of issue. Only the LH new liveries were fine from the get-go.

The CX 777s were announced. They’re probably hidden because of licensing.

Haha I am as much 'madly obsessed'
But it's spread across multiple airlines, unlike only one in your case
So I need to be careful while spending.

And no sign of the China Eastern's A330, maybe B-5976 ?
Considering the images are all over instagram, I don’t think that would be why.

On another note - I see the Colourful Guizhou is a re-release. Is it a licensed model now?
I love that scheme - great work by the livery designers

NG's IG is not run by their factory or the company management directly, by any legal entity or individual connected to themselves - Thus it is not 'officially' connected to the main company in any legal manner.
Their website, on the other hand, is. Thus

I had no clue this was the case, are they outsourcing it to an individual?
Didn't know that. Makes sense why none of the recent Cathay releases are on the website. Thanks for that info.

Took me a while to find out you were talking about a Disney livery and not what I thought. Be careful with the "D****y" these days (this may lead to confusion)
Okay hahaha 
Just to clarify though - what you'd thought?

Yes. As I understand. To an individual in the EU.
After NG's handle was taken down.
The individual is the same one who posts the NG announcement & release photos here - just check this thread itself we were discussing this

If that’s what I thought, babies definitely won’t have liked this livery
