[planes_on_a_shelf]

Ah! Saudia Tristar! Hopefully the polished belly one

 

[British Airways fan]

Excited to see the C Reg I’m assuming a Flair Max before Gemini Releases it, exited for the G Reg 777 I’m assuming BA One World, maybe a world tail but not sure if any RR powered 777 wore a world tail

 

[JJ Skippy]

And again here comes NG with a massive crate. 10 737s, 1 747SP, 12 777s, 5 787s, 2 A318s, 1 A320, 6 A321s, 1 A350, and 1 Tristar. If my math is correct, that means we will have…

39 models! Add to that the stuff that’s been delayed from March! Hopefully NG can get a handle on this big set this month.

 

[KL808]

Omg my wallet can’t handle all those beauties!

 

[LeoMuse747]

Sadly no 757 or Tu-154, and just one 747SP... but good to see the Saudia L-1011!

the A350 will be Azul, quite obviously, which was released two times already by other manufacturers, if I remember well.

 

[KL808]

Definetly going to get

L1011 / A318 / 747SP

battle ship gray 777?
AA chrome 777?

Let’s goooooo

 

[Mark22]

Seriously NG? 39 models and only 1 747SP and 1 L1011? Zero 757's? Zero TU-154's? They have become the same as GJ and JC in my eyes.

 

[Planeoldwill]

An interesting set these are My guesses:

737:

TF-X - most likely that these are the new icelandair livery. I'm hoping one is the old livery though as the new one is so ugly!

777:

G-Y - definitely BA. I'd assume it'll be the oneworld and possibly the festival of creativity and maybe a landor 777.

N77 - Could be United new or old.

N75 - Could be american, possibly old chrome livery.

N74 - Unsure what this one is. Could be United.

A7-B - Qatar. Possibly the retro. Only livery that hasn't been made.

A321:

D-AT - Condor, possibly the blue livery

D-AI - Lufthansa new livery

D-AT - Condor Red Livery

D-AI - Condor Green Livery

 

[Bulgogi77]

Yet another massive set. Here are some of my guesses. The guesses in bold are more likely in my opinion.

Boeing 737 - C-FXXX

• Air Canada - 737 Max 8
• Flair - 737 Max 8
• Sunwing/TUI hybrid livery - 737-800 or 737 Max 8
• Sunwing - 737 Max 8
• Sunwing "Planet Hollywood" livery - 737 Max 8
• WestJet old livery - 737-700
• WestJet - 737 Max 8

Boeing 737 - N55XXX

• Alaska Airlines "Salmon Thirty Salmon" livery - 737-800 - N559AS
• Alaska Airlines "Icicles" livery - 737-800 (winglets or split scimitars)
• Alaska Airlines "Icicles" livery with lei - 737-800 (winglets or split scimitars)
• Southwest Airlines "Heart" livery - 737-700 (winglets or split scimitars)

Boeing 737 - N93XXX

• Alaska Airlines "West Coast Wonders (Orca)" livery - 737 Max 9 - N932AK
• Alaska Airlines - 737 Max 9 (would honestly prefer this over the special Orca livery for right now)
• Delta Airlines - 737-900ER - N930DZ (very unlikely rerelease but you never know)
• Southwest Airlines "Lone Star One" livery - 737-700 - N931WN
• Southwest Airlines "Heroes of the Heart Meteorology" livery - 737-700 - N938WN
• Southwest Airlines "Heart" livery - 737-700 (winglets or split scimitars)

Seems like a diverse set which is nice but I'm a bit disappointed to see no 757s or a U.S. domestic A319/A320. I really hope NG can keep up with the amount of releases without delays, but I'm somewhat doubtful of that.

 

[Tropicalista]

....beautiful but.... The Ryanair?????

 

[abdulmohiuddin]

Ah! Saudia Tristar! Hopefully the polished belly one

Is it this one? https://database.diecastmodelaircraft.com/model/84899 It's been here on the DiMA for a few months now. It's a great model that I have been looking forward to. They were iconic visitors to KHI during the 80's and it for sure is entering my collection

 

[MH aviation]

and the lan a318... AN AVIANCA PLEASE

 

[OscarBravo992]

Wow... Two VHs! My wallet is going to kill me. The SP will either be an Australian Asia Airlines or a Qantas 1990s, and the A320 will probably be the other Jetstar A320 I requested, VH-VFY, with sharklets. I doubt anything else will interest me, which is probably a good thing.

Wouldn't mind a Tiggoz 320

 

[OscarBravo992]

Wouldn't mind a Tiggoz 320

Nor would I... It might be a bit too niche though, even for NG.

 

[B767Avia]

Another HL registered 737?? Oh dear, this is unstoppable. If they really wanted to do another 737 I was hoping they'd do the Skyteam but that one starts with HL7...

It's potentially a Korean Air 737 Max 8

 

[Airplane Wizard]

It’s the cockpit printing and the height of the passenger windows that’s off on the NG 777 mould right?

The APU doesn’t bother bother me but the APU is also printed instead of being physically there as part of the mold like JC.

 

[pons399]

Wallet's safe again this month, you'd think KE was an LCC with the number of 737s NG's pumping out. This many releases without a single widebody is... odd.
