NG April 2025 Hints

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Not collecting this subject for now, going to collect Juneyao Airlines' 787-9 (B-226M), Delta Air Lines' A321 and A350 (100th Anniversary),

Yes! Been waiting for B-226M to be formally delivered to HO ever since photos first circulated in 2020! Beautiful extension of the regular scheme!
And yes the DL 100 pair! These 3 are going to be coming home when they are released.

curious what the two A321s from Taiwan Province of China are, probably EVA Air's B-16217.

Been waiting for those new Hello Kitty jets - hopefully this means the 77W pair follows suit. The other could be a regular scheme - although the older one is nicer.

Taiwan Province of China

Taiwan is a country

Let’s not get into political issues

Let’s not get into political issues

Tell that to the commy simp "Taiwan Province of China"

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Tell that to the commy simp "Taiwan Province of China

Let's not do any political nudging buddy

That's the reason I'm not even seeing the Tarrifs thread.

Let's stick to the models

Let's just ensure that no personal attacks are happening for any reason.

Because, just like you point this out - there's dozens of US administrated islands that technically are sovereign states where the US is exercising its direct military imperialism. Similarly with France. So yeah - the fingers point back always.

the political nudging was started by "Taiwan Province of China"

It's the way mainland Chinese refer to Taiwan - just something we have to understand and acknowledge. It's culturally sensitive and extremely politically complex. And something we can't address by name calling community members - and all of us are products of our own cultures and politics.

Eg- like why Haiti still needs to pay billions to France to keep its independence (absurd but true! ?!! ). Should we thus attack any French community member too by calling them names?

Coming back - Thus Taiwan even being labeled so far as as Taiwan ROC (Republic of China) even in the Olympics.

So yeah let's stick to models and aviation plzz

And I am acknowledging that it is BS and CCP propaganda.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Let's stop yapping about geopolitics and stick to aviation please you guys go from 0 to 60 way too quick

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

It's a small list
But if the hunches are right, it's going to be a good set.
In anticipation, I'd be looking to get
- HO Blossoming China 789
- DL 100 A359 & A321
- AM Kukulkan
- FI 753s
That's quite a few!

Nobody going to talk about how NG are finally using the Xian Y-20 moulds again?

It's something I'm looking forward to personally, wanted to get another example but never got around to doing so

 

[DTcustoms]

Nobody going to talk about how NG are finally using the Xian Y-20 moulds again?

I think one of them is one of the 4 Y-20A carrying aids to Myanmar after the earthquake last week.
I hope the other one is the aerial tanker Y-20U, I don't think they can make the Y-20B this soon

I'm also looking forward to the Yun-20B, after all it's already in mass production in reality. As for the Il-76, it looks like SQ produced a 200 scale Il-76 so far, so HX should follow soon. Here is a photo of SQ's product.

I didn't mean to be provocative, it's just that some people like to rant and rave, you have your position and I respect it, but it's kind of funny how you curse others yourself and you're in a hurry, meanwhile that's the last thing I'm going to say in reply to you.
In the meantime, I'm not going to discuss politics with you, it's not allowed in the community, and I'm not going to nag you about it. You have your position and I have mine. Everyone is different and I expect you to respect that as well, plus don't label people when you don't know their position.

It's basic human decency.！

还有那些该死的 A340 模具，现在已经没人知道了……

View attachment 41618

I really don't know what to say when NG even replied that the A340-300 will be available in March/April .......... ， There was a community of various manufacturers a long time ago, and PM still says NG stole their A330/340 grinders, and they call each other names every day. I don't even know who to believe anymore。Just for fun, but I hope whoever it is comes out with the A340 sooner rather than later.As for the A340-500/600, for the time being, you'll just have to buy from Phoenix first.

I waited too long and I purchased the Phoenix 77W Hello Kitty，B-16740 and B-16722,While the engine part is something I can't get over, there's no denying that Phoenix did a great job with the paint job.

Yes PHX has been excellent with their artwork and printing, which adds so much positive character to the otherwise old moulds. And their choice of subjects is very very tempting - and always on point, and often the first to hit the market.

There have been a few slip ups - notably the UA 763 cockpit - but that's a small percentage of the overall.

At this point, I'm not even considering an A340 from NG, or even going to bother myself with the thought.

PHX has been doing great work on the A340s recently - and for an A340 fan like myself, I'm content with what they are doing.

NG should focus on the moulds they already have but criminally underuse.
