NG Model 1:400 January 2023 Release "Hints"

Seeing these predictions I really hope the A321 is the China Southern special scheme one, and the A350 the Sichuan Panda ones - there are two new ones to pick from - I have the two previous ones - one Av400, another JC. I'd otherwise thought there'd be nothing in it for me this month
I agree. I looked up the China Southern A321 in its special livery (B-1625), and it looks beautiful. If NG Models does that, I might pinch myself and get that model.

Yepp me too. It's needed for my China Southern fleet too. Although HYJL had announced this many months ago (on their own excellent A321 mould) - but it's nowhere to be seen at my usual stores and I'm unable to figure out TaoBao - unless they've yet to release it - which I doubt cause their last announced Air Canada models were released last month. Sigh :(

Yeah just saw their social posts too.. Nothing for me here. Though I wish I'd collect Southwest (and Sun Country too) . Love that scheme - and recently Panda released these lovely 733s - a desert gold one & the experimental bare metal with the desert gold tail. With the previous panda 737-700 and the AC 732 that'd had made a nice Desert Gold set!
 
Is the Alaska a re-release?
They have made it before but as a -800. Kind of disappointing as I would have liked to see a new special livery. Ah well, we’ve got a long wait now before we see another release so hopefully they have some new ideas up there sleeve.
 
Southwest MAX is the only one I’d get, but my gut is telling me something’s off with the color on the CGI. Hopefully they’ll correct it with the production photos…

Hmm you're right...
I was hoping they'd do 872 first, but was not expecting 871 to be made first. I also thought about it'll be the Heart livery, but had to take a second guess on one of those special liveries.
 
That was a fast announcement. Only 9V-OJI for me, I’m still waiting on that CX Tristar.
That couldn't come sooner, if they get everything right it'll be up there with NG's Delta Tristar as the best 1:400 ever made 😛. At least until they drop the 747s...

Yeah… I am imagining a 2 set of Cathay Tristars, both with slightly different liveries… The delivery and final liveries… My wallet would die!!
