NG April 2025 Hints

[planes_on_a_shelf]

So, not sure what's going on, and the LA28 pics aren't on NG's website - but just a few images comparing DL 100 with Team USA.

Even if one accounts for marginal shift in camera angle, the winglets distinctly appear to be of different lengths to me.

Oh you're right, looks like the winglet is shorter on the 100th. Now i'm a little bit to buy this 350

Like I said, that's the "old" wing on this 100th.

But I'm more worried about the crooked printed flags on the 80s.

Yes. The first release had that too - perhaps a wee bit lesser - but it did.

Those Icelandair 757 look fantastic. Will have to get one.

So there isn’t an A330 mentioned from the hints? Did they cancel it or something

 

[pons399]

NG's A350 do not have the upgraded longer winglets?
The Model's looks quite short when compared to the real thing

Yeah NG used the old version, it’s apparent when compared to other recent 350s. They pulled a reverse-CX



And the 321neo’s missing its wifi dome.


Misprinted engine logos, wrong winglets, incorrect paint, missing wifi dome… Very shaky set this month.

Evidence of NG’s decline in QC that some people refuse to admit

 

[Steinar]

Damn, no Wifi dome on the Delta A321Neo!

There is no WiFi dome on the real one. Maybe added after delivery?

Yup, added after delivery.

These look great, however I think the fuselage colour on the Jetstar A320neo should be a flat gloss grey and not the metallic/silver colour.

I looked it up, the new livery is a change from silver mica to a 'similar' grey colour. Looks like NG missed the memo.

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

this colour difference...!

Are you talking about the 100 years sign? The A321neo's looks lighter

It's funny as I don't see this level of inspection of photos with any other brand (most of who don't even release photos of the models!!!). Definitely a few mistakes here, but then again who is making 30/30 models with every release exactly?

I don't see evidence of decline really since NG has always made this level of error on models and the released models are still way better than the majority of the competition.

With the Delta 350 I'd suspect that the model was made a while ago, which is perhaps why it uses the old A350 wing. Disappointing and a reason to go for the Panda version instead certainly, but it's still better than the Phoenix and Gemini versions isn't it?

Right and looking forward to that one.

but it's still better than the Phoenix and Gemini versions isn't it?

I don't even consider these two A350s exist

I don't see this level of inspection of photos with any other brand (most of who don't even release photos of the models!!!)

Agree with the latter, though with the former - I've been pretty scrutinizing with the PHX A330s for one. And with JC's stuff often, amongst other brands.

Agreed

Long before the real thing was unveiled?

I mean that NG semi-announced the release first at least 4 months ago (before everyone else I think) but then it went quiet and didn't get an official announcement until last month. Suggests they made the models a while back

You mean they reserved some "old wing" castings for this yet to be built new airframe?

Well the updated winglets on NG A350s are quite new aren't they. Not sure when they were first applied. I'm just guessing here - could easily be wrong

They first appeared more than a year ago and more than half a year before cn720 entered the assembly line.
Like I said earlier, they might just have both toolings in use and have nobody coordinating their proper use. Or maybe this photosoot model is just a one off which I highly doubt
