NG Model 1:400 February 2026 Release Hints

[ChairFlyer101]

Funny. The China southern windows are way too high and the PAL is too low, resembling their OG heights that you find on the likes of the original Singapores or Iberia.

Also there’s something wrong with the CX A333 cockpit windows but I can’t properly describe it. Like the nose looks like it’s been slightly flattened.

All release photos are up on instagram now

Is it possible to place the photos in here also for the people that don’t have social media ( yes, those people still exists and I’m one of them )?
Thank u!

They're in a Discord server too, unless you regard that as social media too.

Yeah was just looking at photos of B-LAN and it doesn't make sense - there's some sloppy editing on the photos that is weird - so it doesn't have a nose only.
What's up with NG!

And the less said about the A350 cockpit windows, the better. This is really sloppy stuff

Haha, turns out I'm not the only one who thinks cockpit windows are weird.But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with it...


Now I'm worried; I don't know if I should cancel the reservation....?

It's not about the cockpit windows
They've screwed up the perfect nose. Why?!!
It looks like the Av400 now, or the PH A300

WTF NG?!

I notice the nlg wheels are different too

Oh my... This is really bad.

They've really messed up a lot in this month's set

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

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

But it's too large
Way too large

 

[777-300ER]

But it's too large
Way too large

Still too large but still better than what we used to have for years. If they make them a little smaller it will be perfect

In this photo, the CX A330 looks perfectly fine

Don't know what's going on with the NG release images.

I never understood why it is so hard for manufacturers to take decent photos of their product. Low resolution images of (off) white objects in front of an off white backdrop just doesn't work - unless you have to hide something. Then it works perfectly.

Nothing beats Phantom photos

They can make a beautiful CX A333 model look like a ghost....will....it be considered a miracle.？

Every month you guys fret over the minutest details in the NG photos, and make some OTT comments, only to realise that a) mostly the models look fine and b) mostly they look better than the competition even if there are issues.

Exactly. We’re getting models either way, and there’s nothing that we can do about it after the fact. In my opinion, they look fine!

Agreed with the Cathay A330, but that Philippines A350 truly looks atrocious, might be some of the worst printing I've seen from NG.

Although I know it can't be changed, I still have to complain. NG, where did you put the WiFi dome for B-LBB? You clearly put the WiFi dome to other two CX righ.......?But you missed this one?
