NG Model 1:400 February 2026 Release Hints

[777-300ER]

B-LXB cockpit windows was the best NG ever had done on the A350. They should have stayed consistent from this one

Anyone can provide a feedback on this? I see also not so much sponsorized this model

That's the Air China Star Alliance A333 right?
Yeah it's completely fine. Looks great

Good evening everyone and happy lunar new year! How do the windows look on the 350 in the special China Southern livery? I never had these problems, but reading this makes me wonder why. You guys are contagious!

hints for April anytime soon?

should we expect it at all due to CNY?

should we expect it at all due to CNY?

Didn't the CNY holidays conclude this past weekend?

Isn't CNY about two weeks in length?

Isn't CNY about two weeks in length?

The celebration lasts almost a month, but the actual holiday in China is about a week. Still, I feel like the factories are off for longer than a week since model production gets pretty slow during February to March. Gemini usually skips a month or so.

If the next set is for April, I'd say we're 2-3 weeks away from the next set of hints.

They really need to ramp up on releasing wishlist aircraft for the April set and beyond. Although NG still releases many quality models, they have gotten *so* stale when it comes to release choices.

I also don't buy the tariffs for there being a lack of 1:400 US models since NG has been producing a considerable amount of 1:200 US models recently (unless it has something to do with profit margins). I feel like it's some kind of change in their strategy through their newer management that we'll probably never know the reasoning for. There's undeniably been plenty of changes behind the scenes that have impacted their release choices over the past 2 or so years.

This is what I’ve been saying for a while. You can’t solely blame tariffs for the clear lack of U.S. releases last year — the change started long before they were considered, let alone went into effect.

It’s anti-western sentiment among NG’s upper management. They still need to appeal to everyone though. Instead of models it’s the CRP program. It’ll be another decade before some of those voted models are released.

Praying for Frontier in this release

Especially with tariffs being removed soon… and the fact NG started doing this in 2024
