NG Models - 1:400 March Release "Hints"

[romeomike]

Definitely getting these two!

N567AV = Avianca A320 TACA heritage livery
HP-1841CMP = Copa Airlines B738 "75 years" retro livery

I hope you are right, I will be getting them too!
A6(x2) looks like FlyDubai B737 Max 8/9's. Hope the registrations are different to the recent Phoenix releases. My nephew recently joined them as an FO on the Max, so I am keen to build my fleet!

If these hints are true then defo this month an expensive month for me:
- Flydubai 737 Max 9
- American B772 current scheme or United evo-Blue B772 (with PW)
- The "Catfish" B752 N757A

I sent NG a message a couple of months ago if they can make a TWA 757 Globe re-release, they responded good idea to complement the globe L1011 they released. I wonder if this is it?

 

[Bulgogi77]

So um....the N25XXX could be a re-release of the Southwest Canyon Blue 737-700 with split scimitars. N25XXX had been listed for the November release set but presumably got pushed back. Then, shortly after, Panda Fox Toys listed N251WN as an upcoming NG Models release on their site, along with a render of it in the Canyon Blue livery. The posting, however, was taken down shortly after.

If true, this would be a tremendously disappointing re-release....

Would be N704X if true.

 

[KL808]

Would be N704X if true.

They asked me which Reg do I recommend. I replied any of the true -231 since the last globe 757 was a -2Q8. N701TW?

 

[Mikeymag]

N723TW is a 231 series, still flying with Delta.

 

[Purpleplane]

Would be N704X if true.

Could also be N714P. That and N704X are the only possibilities if indeed it's TWA.

 

[B767Avia]

To be fair, NG has already released N704X albeit in a different livery. Although I wouldn't mind seeing 704 again as I flew on it myself, it would make more sense that NG chooses another--in this case N714P.

 

[B767Avia]

My wallet is safe again this month. Not gonna lie, I'll be quite annoyed if the 737 is a KE. Where are the widebodies?? Where are the 777s, A330s, 787s? What's the point of releasing no less than three 737s in a row without a single (modern) widebody? Let's have some diversity, NG.

KE A333s from NG would be a dream come true. I've been wanting a model of HL8002 for quite some time after flying on it three times and seeing it fly three more times.

 

[OscarBravo992]

KE A333s from NG would be a dream come true. I've been wanting a model of HL8002 for quite some time after flying on it three times and seeing it fly three more times.

Come to think of it, I have never even seen a KE A333 for sale with a retailer. Hopefully NG will pick up on this.

 

[B767Avia]

Come to think of it, I have never even seen a KE A333 for sale with a retailer. Hopefully NG will pick up on this.

It's very underrepresented for sure, considering how much of an integral aircraft it is to KE. It's been done several times in a distant past by Gemini, Phoenix, and DW, but they all have the old (smaller) titles. Oddly enough it has never had new release since the new titles came around!

Come on NG, break this hiatus please! HL8002 needs to be in my fleet.

Aeroclassics has also released the -300 for KE, I am also waiting for NG to release one.

 

[Planeoldwill]

A few interesting ones for me by the looks of this months hints.

Spanish regs are probably air Europe 737-800s in bothe the old and new livery.

the Irish 737 could be a mixture of things. The most obvious would be Ryanair but it also could be aeroitalia or neos as both use irish regs. It could also be another norwegian with a different tail design.

Qatar 777 could be the retro as that's the only 77W they haven't made. I'd be happy if it is that as that's the only one I need to complete the set.

And the VT 787s are almost certainly air india in both the normal and star alliance livery. Quite a while since we've seen one of those so I'm happy with that.

Not a bad set this month. I'll never complain about seeing European narrowbodies . The ones I'd like to see NG do next are some aer lingus a320s and the klm 737-900s in both regular and skyteam liveries and maybe a cheeky 737-700.

Hi All! The hints for NG's March release have been posted on DA.C, although not by the usual poster. @BA117, could you please confirm these? (Edit: Nevermind, I saw NG had posted these on their IG)

My thoughts:

I'm hoping the VH-XXX A320 will be a Jetstar, but realistically I think it will be one of the boring QLink or VA Regional versions that are readily available. Imagine if it was an Ansett though! Now I'm just dreaming.

Hopefully, the VT-XXX Dreamliners are Air India -8s. If so they will swiftly find themselves a home in my collection.

If the B-17XX Dreamliner is a Shanghai Airlines -9 or a Xiamen -8, it will have the same fate.

Hopefully, the B-5XXX A330s are either China Southern (-300 standard livery), Sichuan Airlines (-300 or -200), Air China (-300) or Beijing Capital (-300). I'd be pleased with any of those.

It looks like March will be another great month. My poor wallet!

I actually think that the VH-XXX will be VH-VGF. I have the 2015 JC Wings version, but it is quite damaged, so I might get this one if it is Jaffa. If it isn't, and it is just some random Jetstar, I will defo get it.

Interesting. Although I would rather a normal livery with winglets, any Jetstar is better than no Jetstar. Either way, I would buy it!

Although I am getting bored of the endless Qatars, I would buy a retro 77W. I have the JC on pre-order but god knows when that will arrive at retailers.

 

[Sayan777]

Has NG released any pics or box art for the Air India A319s

 

[Aviation_Mali14]

I wonder what the C-GXxx hint is

 

[VDH.FliesOut]

Okay, here's my guessing list. As usual, this took waayyyyyy too long to make, and I practically gave up after looking into almost every Chinese airline. But, it was also fun. For some reason, I looked everywhere for G-Xxxx, but I have found nothing, even on Planspotters. Unless it's another government plane, or a typo...

From what I see on the list, I'm excited to see the US B777s, and maybe the Air India B787~
