NG Model 1:400 April 2026 Release Hints

[JJ Skippy]

Quite an interesting release, I must say. The Delta MD-88 and United 788 were very much out of left field. Glad to see the Mad Dog returning, but hopefully we see the other liveries in the future. Let’s hope that mould stays consistent with the releases now that we’re past CNY. I’m more pleased with this release, with its better global representation. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s a step in the right direction. This needs to be consistent now and not just a one-off like it has been before. And we need to see communication from NG improve moving forward, since 17 days between the hints and the announcement is unreasonable IMO. If that’s what they want to do, then it needs to be communicated.

This has been my reaction to their releases for like a year now.

Not for me. But I would have loved to see F-GUGO as well.

Is there something special about F-GUGO? Why is it more desirable than F-GUGP?

NG releases boring and repetitive stuff
people board the hype train



NG releases boring and repetitive stuff
people still board the hype train



NG releases boring and repetitive stuff
guess what? People still board the hype train once more

Because when they get it right, nobody’s as good. We all want our favorite subjects in the best quality.

That being said, shame on NG lol.

F-GUGO is the only active A318 in the new livery. There was another, F-GUGQ but it was retired last year. F-GUGP is in the 2009 livery, like most the Air France's remaining A318s (the others, F-GUGM and F-GUGN have the same livery as F-GUGP). That's the only reason why F-GUGO would be 'more desirable' than F-GUGP.

Thanks for clarifying!

I would've bought the MD-88 but there are other Delta MD-88s out there and I am currently waiting for a good 3DDD release to buy bc I desperately need regionals lol

My choices

Pre-ordered the Lufthansa A320NEO. For the rest not that interesting for me.

Frankly, the reactions here are OTT
There's lots to pick from
If it's not here, pick them up from elsewhere
Or if you *want* an NG - wait for it

I know why NG is releasing F-GUGP before F-GUGO
