Oh dear I didn't expect the Cathay Tristar to come so soon. Luckily I haven't bought anything this year yet other than 2 books.

Ooo… VH registrations! I might have to get those, but I wish they were 747s instead.

I know a JetBlue A320 would be more popular but....I really wish that N82XXX would turn out to be Avianca N821AV wearing the LACSA colors. That would be epic!
I'm very interested in these:
A320 N82XXX - Avianca LACSA tail colors (or JetBlue).
A321 C-GXXX - Air Transat A321neo.
A330 CS-TXX - TAP

What if NG decides to re-release a Dragonair 1011, tongue firmly in cheek?!

I would still be happy! My existing Dragonair came with a loose wing, and it does not have an electroplated fuselage. Besides, NG has said they do not plan to release the Cathay until at least March, so maybe this is a Dragonair to be followed with a Cathay next month?

Or even better, it is a Dragonair in the final livery? I will buy it either way, so anything will be excellent!

Hehe yeah similar sentiments here - which is why JY-AGB is on my list too. If they re-release a Dragonair and ANA with the shiny fuselage I'm going to pick them up too

I agree we need more narrow body Avianca models.

This took way too long to make with the amount of research and guessing based off some of the liveries. There were so many Chinese airlines with special liveries under the B-5XXX registration, that I practically gave up about halfway (since we know NG likes to add these special liveries). Anyway, here's my guessing list for NG's Feb. release...

Wow, there sure are a lot of possibilities... on the 737's I have a feeling they'll be Southwest New Mexico One and N872CB also.

I just recently watched @Jt Pilot video of NG's Feb. hints.
I had no idea Avianca had aircraft with US registration
guess you learn something new everyday...

Lol I actually would not be surprised if the VR is another Dragonair, that thought did actually cross my mind when I posted earlier...keeping that carrot dangling just that little bit longer as they're doing with the polished Eastern release. In the meantime, I'll remain on standby!
Also I agree, that ANA ''Mohican'' definitely needs another shot. I really wish they had waited until the electroplating problems were resolved before they made that one - it's such a key classic release like Cathay. Plus, the ''Mohican'' stripe was printed too wide, it should run the same width as the #2 intake along the fuselage top, so a correction on that would also be welcome.

I hope so, it's a pretty big void in my collection.

Yesssss! The stripe error was such a disappointment - as was the silver. They only had to wait a few months. Perhaps their release schedule couldn't be tampered with, which is unfortunate. Really hope they do an ANA Mohican again. Plus I'd sent them a whole host of other liveries and regs - including the much anticipated Easterns, CXs, Deltas (that they released already although a - 500 with the polished belly is still needed) but also the LTU bare metals, Iberia, Saudia, the L1011 prototype, the hybrid BEA & Court ones, BA Negus - 500, phew when are they going to make these?! Also the Worldways didn't have the needed convex fuselage protrusion (for the lower level galleys) - aircraft previously owned by LTU - so if they do that mod in the mould there's another set to be made!Lol I actually would not be surprised if the VR is another Dragonair, that thought did actually cross my mind when I posted earlier...keeping that carrot dangling just that little bit longer as they're doing with the polished Eastern release.
