NG Model 1:400 February 2026 Release Hints

[planes_on_a_shelf]

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?

Was the wifi dome installed later?

 

[JJ Skippy]

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!

I've given NG my fair share of criticism in recent times but at minimum I appreciate them doing the PAL A35K. Still gonna get one in a few weeks hopefully.

and make some OTT comments

come on man, it's not very often that we can get dramatic behind a mask

 

[YesterAirlines]

Don't get me wrong I'm all for complaining just sometimes it is a little kneejerk. Sometimes it is spot on though. I agree the cockpit on the PAL looks low and NG have been making more mistakes recently.

So NG changed the CX A330 front section side view photos on Rednote
The reactions may seem knee jerk - but it did make them realise something, albeit belatedly.
On Rednote, folks are quite direct and critical - it's an intriguing landscape so different from IG. People are pretty unforgiving.

The CZ cockpit is high as well - but within acceptable limits suitably obscured and overwhelmed by that livery. Unlike how bad it was on that Korean duo. Folks have been really critical of NG on that aspect too

Can we see the new side view photos here?

And also reminds me of the fantasy Delta A35K. Awfully high windows too

Here you go

Oh my... This is really bad.

Yes indeed. Looks like occasionally and only for some models, NG is screwing the A350’s cockpit glazing.

I noticed right away on my 9V-SGA, Singapore airlines A359ULR. The cockpit was printed too low. That compared to the latest Virgin Atlantic A35K releases and the JAL A359, is too slow and that was disappointing because the model is otherwise is perfect.
I would commend NG for placing the cockpit windows consistently on those other models. But I strongly recommend they check this going forward. They look like a totally different aircraft nose.
Hopefully the next set of SIA A350s does not have this issue.

They should also stay consistent on an accurate shape

someone knows if on the dec-25 b-6101 is ok the a333?

 

[JET-10/11/47]

NG had the best A330. Shape of nose, cockpit windows and very accurate looking engines. So why fix what’s not broken? In other words,why change something to make it look inaccurate? I can never understand this!!

Nothing has changed - thankfully
The release photos were badly edited / shot
Thus they shot a new set of photos
