Will really be thrilled if it's Kras Air. Lovely scheme and I've been suggesting this to them for a while.

I would buy it too, simple but nice colors.

Which ones are future release?

OscarBravo992 · Sep 3, 2023

I've got my eye on the VH- 747SPs. Aside from those, nothing else has drawn my attention. It's nice to see KAL getting some much-needed love.

Almost all the hints are listed were listed as “future releases” about two weeks ago. Kind of a pointless “hints” list.

My thoughts aswell...

Part of me wonders if NG would release better models if someone in the damn company spoke english.

There's like 1 quality pic of HL8515, but NG seems to have done a good job. *Finally* a modern release that fits my criteria.

OscarBravo992 · Sep 4, 2023

I'll be getting Australia Asia VH-EAA. Not sure why they made both registrations, the other could have been one of the livery/registration combos that haven't been done.

It appears that one has Australia Asia logos on the engines and the other has Qantas logos. Could be wrong tho

The United 777-300er is tempting me as I have just flown on one, if the -222 comes out next month in the merger livery I’m declaring bankruptcy

Mark22 · Sep 4, 2023

Was hoping for more interesting TU-204/214s, but the TAROM and 747SPs are nice. Otherwise a meh release.

Danio1988 · Sep 4, 2023

BA 772 for me on the list. New reg. Loads of BA 777s coming out lately I’ve noticed.

Yes, so far so good. I believe with the JAL A35K they ended up putting the RR logo on the engines while we could easily infer from the A359 that there shouldn't be one. Glad this one doesn't have an issue of similar kind.

Star Alliance ANA is a bit disappointing but I have now realized that it is one that I've seen in person so ~~all is forgiven~~ I will be trying to get my hands on one of those as well.

I've been comparing it to existing pics of the real thing, and the only possible issue is the size of the pepsi logo on the engines. But that's based on the 789s, so perhaps it's different with the -10; it's hard to tell.

I continue to be surprised at NG's lack of a normal ANA 789 considering their general love for the airline. It's not like said love is restricted to specials, NG's released a truckload of regular ANA Tristars..

The logo on the engines caught my eyes as well. Given the limited amount of photos it is a bit hard to tell but they do seem pretty accurate; that said, indeed larger than the 789.

ORD Aviation · Sep 4, 2023

My guesses for this month are
N660NK
N826ANN2332VN8655DN863GT (Bare Metal)

JJ Skippy · Sep 4, 2023

Another month where I can save thankfully. Already had to preorder another plane so I didn’t need a good month from NG lol.

Nevertheless I should start collecting Soviet planes… lots of options from the recent releases so I may pull the trigger on that soon.

ORD Aviation · Sep 4, 2023

When the Delta A319 and the Delta E175 comes out I’m going to Midwest Model Store and buying it immediately

Mikeymag · Sep 4, 2023

This one is on my pre-order list.
