NG April 2025 Hints

[BHD]

Most likely it is B-5937, which is in the same series(Asian Winter Games) as the B-8393 listed above.View attachment 41934

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

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

it does not have the polished belly like 2106

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.

Also, anyone else notice how incomplete the hints were? The CX 777s, KE 747s and many others weren’t included at all.

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.
