NG Model 1:400 November 2022 Release Photographs

[OscarBravo992]

Oh heck, if they went ahead and released some Kiwi 777's, whether they were 777-200ER's or 777-300ER's, I would be dead. I wouldn't mind either variant, the -200ER's for my classic collection and -300ER's for my airport's network, but only the standard livery as I already have Black Beauty OKQ by Av400. The anticipation and suspense of knowing the hints are imminent are really making me start to stress out aha.

I would buy any and all of them. Over my time spotting at YMML, I have caught almost every Kiwi 77W, the only one I haven't seen is OKM. Once she is out of VCV and I see her on FR24 operating NZ123, it will be a drop-everything and drive to the airport moment. Thanks to that particular AV400 release having so many 77Ws I needed, I decided to give OKQ a pass, I have the old Phoenix version from 2016.

Hopefully there's some modern Asian widebodies this month, those have been scarce lately. I'd love to see a KAL A330-300 or 777-200ER, both of which are underrepresented in any scale. 747 hints would be nice as well.

NG rediscovering the 747SP mould would be great too... Off the top of my head, I can already think of 4 that need to be made.

I'm getting the impression that the SP was just a trial for the classics, otherwise they wouldn't be so tentative with the releases.

I think so too, however, there are still a lot of SPs that need making, and that collectors would buy. SPs such as SAA, SAL, South African final scheme, House colours, Qantas 1990s, AustraliaAsia Airlines, Syrian Air, Suadi, Braniff, Aerolineas Argentinas, Air China, Corsair, Iran Air final scheme, Mandarin Airlines, Yemenia, Air Mauritius, SOFIA, etc, etc.

Long overdue is an understatement for the KE A333. It would be amazing to see one from NG.

It sure is... I don't know what has taken them so long, especially JC and PH, you would think that they would be rushing to make one!

Hopefully NG releases another Qantas SP, I passed on VH-EAA because of the QC horror stories. That particular model seemed to have been hit hard by Covid shenanigans.

I guess the 787 stole its thunder? Same goes for the 777, where there's a ton of KE 77Ws but no 772s for nearly a decade. I've seen many folks clamoring for the 333, so fingers crossed that NG delivers.

I ended up with two of them, the first was perfect, and the second was fine except for missing paint on one of the nose landing gear wheels.

I’d go for a teal 772 and hope it’s ZK-OKB, as well as a black/white 772 and hope it’s ZK-OKF. As far as the 77W goes, I just want a teal OKM and black/white OKN. I do hope these are in releases that are spread out as you said… I wouldn’t survive if they were in the same batch.

I sure have flown on quite a few of those myself, especially HL8002 for a whopping three times. Requested it to NG some time ago and fingers crossed we'll get one out there soon.

Flying on the same aircraft multiple times is a treat for sure. Only one that applies for me is HL7636 (a 748i), which I requested to NG not long ago.

A treat indeed! Hope we can get some KEs from NG soon.

 

[redriveraviation]

Hope we can see the KE and AA A321neos soon with the updated engines. Very pleased with their efforts!

Yes!!!!!

 

[Purpleplane]

Yes, that will be great.

Kinda odd that their 2 KEs to date are rather obscure types: 747SP and 737-900. Would be cool if they did the last pax 747 (7644).

 

[Mikeymag]

They updated the engines!!! Love to see it. Nicely done NG.

How did NG update the engines?

 

[Purpleplane]

How did NG update the engines?

It does look a bit more accurate....certainly better than GJ's

 

[OscarBravo992]

How did NG update the engines?

They seem to have modified the fan blades.

 

[Purpleplane]

That would be an improvement.
