Let's hope they don't mess it like their 1/200 version.
I'd much rather see the 752 "as delivered", but a 753 with the later colors.

It’s about time some retro planes return to NG’s lineup. Please make it more consistent in the new year!
I’d buy the N96 release if it’s Delta Ron Allen. Would be interested in that Eastern Chrome, a friend of mine has waited nearly five years for that. The 76s I hope for Battleship Gray or Evo. SP I’ll take anything from the major US carriers.

No shock NG overloading this release with B-XXXX and N registrations but the 767, MD-80, L1011 make a return..
I would love one of the EI- a320 to be in the rugby livery and the other in the old livery
F-OXXX 787 I think is air austral…
The 757-200 is hopefully condor 757-200
For the 767 I’m holding out for a UA evo blue, battleship grey or Saul bass livery
Then for the triple sevens I really need a China eastern airlines and a Cathay Pacific 777 (Brushwing)

Yes and yes. I'd agree - the D-ABNA o/c is a 'must have'
My gut feeling on seeing the list is that N96 is TWA. I'll take it either way!

A TWA MD-80 would be nice & it’s good to see NG using this mold again…

Seems like it, its a CRP release and united has several 767s with the regs given.
I'm really hoping that the 777-300ER is an Asia world city livery but knowing NGs history it will just be two of the same with different regs.

Depends on since when they planned to release these CX 77W. If they planned for months, then it could be two regulars: Brushwings, 2015 and maybe a Oneworld (B-KPL, B-KQI, B-KQL, B-KQM…), since they never made any CX 777 before. If they follow PHX/JC trend, then the new big title or Aria suit config will be released. If it is CRP wishlist, it might be the Asia World City livery B-KPF. However it didn’t get enough votes to be "approved" unless it was already planned like F-GSQI Jon One AF 77W since it had got only 2 votes.
Be ready to see B-KPA brushwing livery 777-300ER (ultimate package) and a 2015 livery 777-300ER

The B-2 77Ws would be the Air China special scheme CRPs?
777-300ER

Maybe. Hope they don’t duplicate two Air China 777-300ERs special scheme in the same release but include a China Eastern one

Or a pair of CZs - which will be awesome - a regular scheme and the Wordskills scheme - I think both of these are also CRP wishes.
Too bad the MU 77Ws never wore the lovely previous scheme.

Yeah this is an airline exclusive - sold in-flight - not sure if it's retail (yet)

I believe Air Austral only operates the -8 variation, so those two 787-9s have to be re-releases of Air Tahiti Nui... NG's 787-8 mould has been barely used (only 27 releases since NOV 2022 according to their database).
I'm honestly starting to lose interest in NG as of lately. It's always the same geographic regions that get all the attention, same airlines + aircraft types combos, fantasy liveries, etc... And when there's finally something I'm eager to buy, it just ends up being an infamous "lite" version nobody asked for (yes; I'm referring to QF's B787-9 Yam Dreaming which they deliberately decided to make "lite") or more repetiton. At least it seems there are some classics on the way so let's hope they don't disappoint.
On another note, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a healthy, prosperous and successful 2025!

My thoughts are Cathay Pacific's 77W could be, B-KPF and B-HNK, since those are the two with more votes on the dream list. As for the two 2-number beginning with B-2047,B-2006.

B-HNK is a 777-300, not a 777-300ER as the predictions say

I am just glad we get to finally have a polished Eastern L1011 in our collections! I, for one, am highly optimistic for the upcoming releases.

I think the United Evo Blue is more likely given that its a CRP release. However, it's certainly possible that NG would release and Evo Blue and a Globe (CO-UA merger) 767. I think amazon is unlikely given that its more of something Gemini would release.
