In double quick time I've pulled together my ranking video of the announcements and this for me is probably the worst ever set announced by NG Models. I don't agree with all the criticism but it is hard to defend this bunch of models and possibly for the first time ever nothing reaches Supersonic in an NG set:

Probably my favorite video review from you this year

Alrighty that looks super nice. I’ll eat a very small portion of my hat because I’m sure as hell buying this one

Finally something to save this boring set from being a 100% crapshow. Great release!!!

The one way they could screw up is the paint (I better not be foreshadowing)

For some maybe. For others there are a lot of options.

Now that is a nice surprise. That PSA L-1011 doesn't redeem this set but goes a long way towards it and is a contender for model of the year if it turns out as well as it ought to. Note the original engine exhausts too. I don't think we've seen them since the pair of Court Lines:

The TWA twin globe scheme L-1011 N41012 also had the original exhausts too.

You're of course right!

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

You're of course right!

I was going to say the same!

Unrelated but has anyone seen that one A330 NG announced last month…

 

[Purpleplane]

You're of course right!

I think that might be the only other one though.

Definitely delayed

I've wanted the PSA example since the Tristar mould was announced and reviewed by Richard all those years ago. I think this model will easily be top 3 of all scale models period for me.
