[planes_on_a_shelf]

Curious when they'll announce the releases
@YesterAirlines any clue?
I presume the models will only be made available next month after CNY

A couple of them already exist I think. There have been two special livery China Southern 737-800s floating about on taobao for a while and I expect the 2 B-reg 738s to be them. Perhaps some of the others are completed also?

 

[Steinar]

SAS currently have 30 A320 with EI-reg so hopefully there are two SAS A320 with EI-reg.
Would be BIG BINGO since there is also an MD-80 with SE-reg in same release.

Hope for the best

Well I remember seeing someone complain about how they asked for the Condor 752 "Rizzi Bird" back in 2020 and never getting it, I wonder how they are doing right now.

The 747SP's look nice, although the Boeing House colors seem to be the same scheme wise, and the Pan Am 747SP is interesting to have released again.

 

[Mikeymag]

My 2 choices, Eastern Air Lines L-1011-1 N305EA (Bare Metal)
Trans World Airlines (American Airlines) MD-83 N9615W (hybrid), this was the last MD-83 that I flown on.

 

[Steinar]

84001 Scandinavian Airlines - SAS MD-87 (DC-9-87) SE-DIC (name "Varin Viking")

Correct name was Grane Viking, nothing else.

Yeah SE-DIB had the name Varin Viking

All these fantasy… I can’t. We get fantasy Delta and Korean A350-1000 while they haven’t been released with the real A350-900 (DL was on the old NG A350 version). Again wasting 757-300 with some woke fantasy, copying Phoenix with the awful new giant CATHAY title and spamming JAL A359 (while there is still no JAL 77W), Air Tahiti Nui 789, Chinese C919 and two boring Blue Evo livery while they could have done two different liveries

Cathay Pacific 777-300ER B-KPD is the only model I would consider for this month

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

N529PA would presumably have the broader cheatline? I think NG's only done the narrow one as of yet

Did you just seriously use the term 'woke' in a derogatory FOX News , GB News way - my lord!

Anyway cheer the hell up - this is a good set of models with variety geographically, temporally and across their mould catalogue. If I never see another Delta A350-900 in 400 scale I'd be fine.

757-300 with some woke fantasy

Huh?! Please explain yourself bud

 

[JJ Skippy]

Does anyone have all the photos? NG takes forever to put them up on the website.

 

[Steinar]

Yeah SE-DIB had the name Varin Viking

Did a quick check with NG and the name is correct on the produced model. NG just did a typo error in the announcement. And it will be the red engine livery.

Poo I was hoping it would be the 'proper' SAS scheme with the presents

 

[Boeing_3019]

39090 Japan Airlines (JAL) A350-900 JA13XJ

Isn't that the plane that collided with a dash 8 at Haneda?

 

[BHD]

Pretty happy with two aer lingus models

The only thing though is that NG have done the opposite of what I was hoping for…

We got a new livery and the old rugby colours but I will still get them nevertheless.
