Yeah they are releasing too many Qatar's but at least they released a AAL in the bare metal livery.Nothing for me this month...
I had high hopes the AF 777 was going to be the 772 pax version at least...
NG's releases are becoming sooooo repetitive... almost same airlines every month... and more Qatar models?!
Don't get me wrong; I like NG, but come on! There's much more out there!
I would've gotten just a regular AA 757 in the bare metal livery with winglets. I was hoping for a re-release...
I was really really hoping for a DAL 757 in Widget colors but my wallet needs a break anyway so I think I should be good for this month other than the AAL.
Hopefully after the World Cup the Qatar releases will calm down, I imagine that is why NG are making so many. The only other Qatar that I might buy from them would be the retro and 777F. And why did they give us another Star Alliance UA 772? At this point I just want a normal one so bad that I don’t care what livery it is in, even if it is a fantasy Saul Bass. I do like their Scoot and Air New Zealand releases, hopefully they will give us the ANZ A320neo and normal Scoot 787-9 next month.
I said the exact same thing earlier. I do think it is because of the World Cup, but soon they will run out of Qatar models to release, it think the only ones remaining are the 788, A35K, Normal A330s and a few 777s. The Cathay/NG situation is ridiculous at the moment, they have never cared about licensing before, so why start now? Oh well, NG make their own decisions, and sadly we cannot control them. I do wish they were active on here, there is so much more growth potential than on DA.C.
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the first 748 release is the Qatar Amiri.
I think you are overthinking it. NG has obviously seen a massive amount of sales of Qatar models. Their a350s are all sold out and very hard to find and the recent 77W releases are getting increasingly harder to find so they evidently sell very well. What a lot of people seemingly struggle to understand on these forums is NG is a business and in order to keep it going, they have to make models that will sell very well which gives them the space and potential to do models that arent as likely to be popular with the community.
Their A350s are not all sold out. I regularly see NG Qatar A350s at retailers both locally and internationally. Yes, they do sell well, but so will other models with more variety! Releasing 10 Qatars in 7 months is a little much, don't you think? I understand NG is a business, and they do need to make the decisions necessary to keep it running, but making this many of one airline attracts negativity, mostly courtesy of Gemini and Emirates. Ultimately, these are just my opinions, and I do not want to force them upon anybody. And besides, if they were making this many Australian models a month would I be complaining? No. Would everyone else? Yes. That is exactly what is going on here.
I get that and if NG are being commissioned by Qatar to make models then that would explain the large volume of releases. Personally, I don’t mind as it’s been awhile since we got the Qatar regular 77W and I wasn’t a huge fan of the JC 77Ws colours. i Hope NG focus on a few other European airlines aswell, they seem to be on Air France atm but would love for them to make Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Swiss etc
I was glad to see a Qatar 777 in the plain livery too. NG have been pretty good about Lufthansa, but hopefully they will stop making wide bodies and focus more on the sorely-needed narrow bodies.
We definitely need more narrow bodies.
And definitely more retro 757's for me!
I second BA A350-1000 by NG
Expected… I am still holding out hope for them to fly to MEL, there was a bunch of rumours about it after YMML got loaded onto their OANS.
Good points, I assume the KE special livery was in part due to high demand from Korean collectors; for whatever reason, they seem to completely eat up the children's drawing liveries. I've personally been on HL7733 way back when it was painted in Skyteam colors, so seeing that get a release would be nice after a standard 772. Same applies for the 748: standard first (ideally 7636 or 7644), special later.
Oh boy...
