[B767Avia]

Yep, it's weird since the -900 is a niche type for KE, only used on Korean or short regional routes. Definitely not one of their marquee aircraft worthy of 3 releases. The 333 is long overdue indeed, and so is a (proper) 772.

Niche indeed. I get that KE is the largest operator of the wingletless type but the airline is on its way to phase them out now. That children's livery a few months ago most certainly made no sense. Fingers crossed for the 333 and 772 (soon the 748 too).

 

[Alzyerpal]

Sąd that it's a special 737 Ryanair. I was waiting a normal 738.

They're retrofitting the scimitars 'en masse' to their 738 fleet, it'll soon become the new normal 738.

I was admittedly a little salty about the March hints, but everything's sunshine and rainbows now that the 748's been confirmed My wallet will be toast if they drop any combination of 7636, 7642 and 7644 at the same time... Only reg I wouldn't get two of is the children's livery 7630.

realease a damn avianca a318 and regular livery avianca a320-200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AussieAviator]

The Jetstar is very tempting! I think I will pre-order it, it looks like it will be an instant sell-out in Australia.

 

[SmallTimeAviation]

I get to save some money this month!

 

[Travertineeye]

It’d be cool to see an A319neo

There are very few A319NEO orders. Very few. The most prominent came from China Southern and that one has been done. There sure will be more but there are many more other NEO types that should fairly come first.

Btw, that China Southern models is amazing. Glad to have it.

I am scared of the day when there will be 100 planes in one release set.

 

[Steinar]

It is a shame that NG does not check what has been done recently. The Shenzhen Airlines B739 (B-5106) was released by AV400 in 2018. If any other registration I would have bought it. I already have the AV400 version that is all nicely made.

Another expensive month for me. Ordered FlyDubai (x2), American (x2), TACA, Four Seasons (Titan), and COPA.

March package designs are trickling out, but none for some of the Feb. releases. A further delay?

 

[B767Avia]

I'm not sure what you guys think, but I'm really not buying the new silhouette overlay thing that they're putting on the new boxes. It just makes the designs look messy and disorganized.

The silhouette is just on the digital design. The actual boxes do not have it.

 

[B767Avia]

That has been the case for the most part but the ANA 772 says otherwise.

 

[pons399]

This one's interesting, it's officially licenced by TAP. Would be great if more airlines had licensed NG models in their official stores.

 

[OscarBravo992]

That has been the case for the most part but the ANA 772 says otherwise.

Interesting. I hope this doesn’t become a recurring thing, it makes the box look tacky and cheap.

It really does. I just wrote an email but feel free to do so as well.

 

[Transnat]

Jetstar for me. IF I can locate one

Jetstar for me. IF I can locate one

Same here. I have one on pre-order from CAMAUST, so hopefully, that means I will have one waiting for me in a few weeks.
