NG Model 1:400 February 2026 Release Hints

See this and then this
The cockpit position is fine

The difference is about than half a mm. I'm not sure it is indefensible to be honest. In fact, I'd argue considering the size of these models and the retail price it is entirely defensible!

It always entertains me nobody does this with JC, GJ, PHX etc releases. Here's the Apollo version using the JC mould if people prefer it

In this case, the Apollo/JC Wings cockpit windows and the nose shape look bonkers and awful…

Let alone the engine exhaust cone’s length.

Going to have a field day on that poor nose shape…

Yes, now if you see the images I've shared
NG's has the most perfect nose shape without doubt amongst all the available options

The green reflection seems too shiny by me, especially the first photo.

What I am bothered about is that NG keeps printing the cockpit windows & the zorro mask too high these days.

If one looks at the real thing above (image courtesy of Heathrow Airside on 13/1/2026), the passenger window is at a higher level than the bottom of the zorro mask. One could even say the the height level of the passenger window is at roughly the mid-point of the zorro mask.

In contrast, NG's B-LRJ has the pax window line at the bottom of the zorro mask (see red line below).

Think it is too obvious on the B-LRJ this time and pretty indefensible...

I think it's fine.After all, if you really want to compare which is worse, look at JC/PH . Of course, if you don't like that, you can choose Aeropolaris, which is also quite good.

That looks properly crap.

Everyone's favorite Feb NG release.
I do like this colour combo better than their current one though, no kidding.

Reminds me of a nice Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

Lol if you look quick enough one would think this is a Victoria Secret Livery on a Korean Dreamliner…

Something's off with the PAL cockpit windows

Looks a little low, but I could live with it

Yeah even HYJL /AP print them low

 

[LeoMuse747]

The Qatar 777 F1 is a beauty and the Mexicana A318s are very nice releases! I wonder if we'll see Avianca (including Avianca Brasil) someday

 

[777-300ER]

Where can I see these pictures from Europe? Also, have they already posted JA05WJ?

 

[aviation456]

They have finally stuck to one 777 cockpit shape! Looking good!

Yes but still not the case for their A350
