NG April 2025 Hints

[panda_CAT]

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.

Indeed , I just wish more Air China and China Airlines A340s were produced now, as well as Lufthansa titles.Cathay Pacific,

Right. There are gaps in my collection too

I have a Panda CA A343.
But I have no CI A340s - will be nice to have that

And I wouldn't mind a CX A342 & LH A343 in the old colours

Currently I'm still trying to find CA A343 for Panda and AC. it's too hard, and the general price is 100-150USD, which I don't think is a good deal, after all, some of them are too old.
I've always loved the CI, it's so beautiful. hx 747 has launched one model, the “SKYTEAM” B-18206, B-18211, and is waiting for the next model, B-18203.

Yes I agree! It's such a serene and pleasant pastel scheme.

Yeah if NG finally remembered the a340 an eternity later it’ll just fall into the pit of forgotten molds like the 767-200 747-100/400 etc.
Oh it’s already forgotten..

 

[KamiSchmolz]

NG also forgot about their Tu-154, A330neo

 

[DTcustoms]

And the TU-204/214 too

 

[mark4323]

I'm kind of looking forward to Buzz Lightyear since I rode it recently.

Do you mean this one or is there another?

Need artwork to get a full assessment on this. So far looks decent, though the 1:200s I can’t say the same.

Exactly, but there are no pictures available on their website , yet. Hopefully soon...

Happy to see the two different CAAC MD-80s. I hadn't even seen this version until a few days back and now here it is:

https://flic.kr/p/UNEfH4

There's even more B-reg on here than in the hints. Certainly there's barely any N - 2 of them were pre-announced before the tariffs and some of what there is is Mexican not US. Appears that there'll be less US stuff and if there is maybe just long-haul that'll sell well outside the US, which I guess is no surprise.

I will be posting artworks on Instagram shortly for now here are the icelandair artworks.

Thank goodness the Icelandair 100 Years doesn’t have the Fly Khiva sticker. I would’ve been disappointed if so.

I don’t know if I’m blind but I don’t see the Chinese registered a330

Where do you find these pictures? I can’t find them on IG

I think he’s the one who does the IG based on his reply

This makes it the second CAAC MD-82 in the regular cheatline scheme - unless there's a difference in the livery.

This white fuselage version looks pretty cool though
