2 Cargos in different title variations
2 777-200 (first CN 777 + 1 more reg)
3 777-200ER (2 & 1 unusual 'named' airframe)
I don't think there's an 'squandering' BS etc etc LOL

Discounting the freighters, FIVE variations with very minor differences between them is redundant lol. -200ERs are indistinguishable from -200s, and they’re all in the same livery.
Of course it wouldn’t feel that way since they’re in your criteria, I’d have zero complaints if they’d been 7 Singapores.

Are they making a full fleet of CZ 772s as well?

Piggybacking off my original post about NGs continuous passenger window height issue. The first picture shows the JC release, the second shows the NG, and the third is the real thing.
As you can see, the fact that the passenger windows are too high is extremely noticeable here, and made even more noticeable by the slope of the cheatline at the nose. The passenger windows NEED to be lowered. But they have not made any adjustments to this.

The cockpit window should also be lowered (not as much as the passenger ones). On this model, it even seems like all printings should have been lowered (not only the windows, but also the painting)

I agree. The bottom blue portion of the cheatline really highlights that; where it sits relative to the wing. The bottom gold stripe should be the same alignment with the top of the wing.
This set was so boring I almost missed it! It's a short September list from NG Models, but once again it is very much Asia First and at this point they're competing with themselves with so many re-releases. Check out my thoughts and rankings here.

The all metal 744 prototype has been released and photos available too
Curious for opinions and viewpoints / comments

I've actually just been writing a detailed mould review for the 747-400 comparing the NG, HX and JC moulds. Might publish it soon

Looks like JC has the same error (images below) albeit the gear truck gap is a wee bit tighter - wondering why it's never been pointed out for so long on the JC mould
The doors should slant down towards the mid-section as illustrated in the photo of the actual above - shared by @Aircrafter93

Yeah I think you guys are making mountains out of molehills here. If the spacing of maingear doors is a problem for you then you're stretching!

Not stretching as much as the main gear doors on these models!
It is very noticeable on the NG 747, that’s no mountain out of a mole hill. It’s plain as day, and the first thing I noticed swiping through the photos on instagram, that and the lack of the fuel release nozzle on the wings.

How do you notice these lol, it’s not even a thing on all 747 variants.
Anyway, nice to see NG messing up more popular 747s!

I'm not saying you're wrong, it is incorrect - just not a dealbreaker. A lot of it is the angle of the doors themselves and looking at the various 747 moulds, none get it completely correct, although the spacing is a little wider on the NG because the gear support strut isn't as wide. Usually the gear doors on most moulds are vertical not slanted inwards.
The lack of the fuel dump pipe has been a 'feature' of NG 747s from the start. That's the sort of thing they seem to have left off on purpose. There are no hinges on the flaps either. It's the same even on the SPs

Interestingly @planes_on_a_shelf the JC 744 I've been using for my detailed review has not got the maingear issue you see in the photos above. Curious:
