Yep, I'd prefer it if the first -8 release was a fantasy or a bizjet. Anything but a KE would be fine with me to be honest

Wow, that's a lot of releases for one month! I would have thought NG would limit the number of new releases, since they were unable to deliver on their March releases. I really hope they are not going the way of JC Wings! The 4 TF releases should be Icelandair B737-Max 8/9's in their new livery. There are many possibilities with the N and C releases, all of which are of interest to me, especially if the N's are Southwest or Alaska. The C and CC releases are also of interest to me.
It's really looking to be an expensive month for me, mitigated somewhat by the absence of new releases from AC this month.

I was not expecting so many releases for this month.I spot 3 BA B772 with RR engines. Hopefully at least 1 out of the 3 will be wearing the current, standard livery since I'm interested in one of those to replace my outdated GJ. I'm also interested in one Air India B77W in the standard scheme.

The AI B77W is done really well by Prairie Diecast on JCW mould. That is sure a beauty too. My thought would be AI 77L, the one that was recently transferred from Delta with a much more minimal scheme without the window patterns.
I spot 3 BA B772 with RR engines. Hopefully at least 1 out of the 3 will be wearing the current, standard livery since I'm interested in one of those to replace my outdated GJ. I'm also interested on one Air India B77W in the standard scheme.

I like the JCW mould but there's something I do not really like about the way the cockpit windows are printed (related to the size).
I saw pictures of that scheme and you could be right. I personally don't like the white engines and the fact that it does not have the window pattern.

That is VT AEF which is a 777 200 LR. But NG dosent have a 200 LR. It has a 200 ER

NG has made the 777 Freighters so that means they have the 200LR I suppose.

NG have all the components to make every version of the 777, with the exception of the -9.

True, and as far as I understand, the 77L has the same wings as the 77W.

It would indeed make a lot of sense they would make the two Alaska specials together. Besides, at this point I've given up as to when they'd get to release the WN Heart -700s...
As for the HL7 hint, KE Max 8 would make the most sense. NG, if you're this into making KE 737s, why don't you throw in HL7568 Skyteam before moving onto heavies?
When it comes to the 777, I'm a bit surprised there is an odd number of US registered hints considering NG usually does these in pairs. Would this mean all three are from the same airline (UA Battleship, Merger, and Evo?), or perhaps a pair and a freestanding release (Aeromexico and AA chrome regular/Oneworld)?

200 fuselage + regular wings = 200/ER
200 fuselage + raked wingtips = 200LR or freighter
300 fuselage + regular wings = 300 regular
300 fuselage + raked wingtips = 300ER
So NG does have all the resources to release any of these variants.

Still waiting for the day when a modern widebody I want is included in a new release set
. Interesting to see the -200LR, I think it's their first release of that variant. I'm almost certain we'll see a Qatar sometime in the next few months.

WARNING: A LOT of Chinese airlines. (PART 1)
Holy T!ts McGee, I guess this will be the norm now for NG to make these big announcements. Nevertheless, it was a stressful week at work, so I decided to take the opportunity on my day off to look up almost EVERY Chinese airline on Planespotters. While having this big of a list is great (a whole lot of diversity to airlines), I can agree with a lot of people here about the quality control and backlog of previous releases. Hopefully, NG can pull this off.
On the other hand, after making this guessing list, there's not a lot I see that catches my eyes, except for the Singapore-based B787, and maybe a couple US B777s.
