B747-8:
Atlas Air, Lufthansa and Nippon Cargo.

Lots of Chinese regs this time... too bad the Tu-154s are from China and URSS aswell. I'd like to see something different. Like the previous TAROM releases. Phoenix is having better 154 releases for the moment.

 

[Purpleplane]

I'm pretty sure the A318 will be Frontier.

 

[JJ Skippy]

I'm pretty sure the A318 will be Frontier.

Yes, it’s all but confirmed. Which tail is up for grabs. Regardless of the tail I’ll likely be getting one.

My guesses are:
- A318: Frontier
- A330: 330xx Canadian Air Force (grey and blue VIP). N33xxx Avianca Cargo - hope they do the green ome
- B738: HS- NokAir 2 different colors - pls be different from other releases
- B737Max: suppose Air Canada?
- B748: same as @LeoMuse747
- Tu-154: standard Soviet scheme
- Tu-204; something not Rossiya, classics like Vladivostok Avia, Dalavia, Krasair, etc would be much welcome!

Fixed it for you.

Surely they can't make more Russian government TU-204s... Will we finally get some airliners?

Lufty's the first real 748i, as expected. Hopefully (not likely tho) the cockpit windows are revised...

Definitely, the cockpit needs attention. I'm snapping some pics of their BOAC 748 right now and this issue stands out. Do something about it, NG!
Happily awaiting the LH but I'm afraid it's in current colors.

Def getting the CAF A330 in gov't livery, two air china special livery A330s, and the Nok pair (if there are not repeats from Panda).

So should we assume we will have at least one Frontier each release from here onward given NG's habit?

Hope the JA7 will be a Pokemon 748 fantasy, will get a dozen if it is

 

[LeoMuse747]

Uh Oh, just noticed that NCA have JA1*** regs. Oh well, here comes another fantasty model, it seems...

yeah I got caught off guard there as well lol... thought it was NCA

My son would love it. A model aircraft in between all those piles of Pokemon cards.

 

[Planeoldwill]

Nothing…. Again

 

[LeoMuse747]

By the way, here's my prediction:

a fantasy JAL or ANA B747-8 with reg JA7478

By the way, here's my prediction:

a fantasy JAL or ANA B747-8 with reg JA7478

Or JA748A or J. I think ANA has higher chance being made, and it would be in Mohican livery - NG did this before on L-1011 (NG also did the current livery too but Mohican is more classy). As for JAL, I hope for a 70s livery. Seems NG want to make fantasy 748 in the classic livery.

Me too. They only had 11 A318s, and any one of them will be a great addition to the collection.

 

[mike_charlie_lima]

Not another fantasy... Comon why bother

 

[IndyJets]

Me too. They only had 11 A318s, and any one of them will be a great addition to the collection.

We'll need them for the 2006 and 2007 schedules...

Here are my guesses for the N-registrations.

Airbus A318 - N80xxx:

• Frontier - any (my guess is N801FR since NG seems to like picking early registrations, e.g., N702NK, N901NK, N901NN, N301NB, etc)
  • 

Airbus A330-300 - N33xxx

• Avianca Cargo - N331GT
  • 

Boeing 737-800 - N37xxx

• Delta - standard with split scimitars (N374DA), Atlanta Braves sticker (N3746H), Ron Allen livery, Delta Shuttle, Colors in Motion livery, Colors in Motion livery with winglets
  • 
  • 
  • 
  • 
  • 
  • 
• United - EvoBlue livery re-release (N37290), Globe livery re-release (N37281)
