I would love to see the 747-8 release along with the 747-100/-200. Then later on, a 747-300/400, so that they don’t release all the moulds at the exact same, giving time for each to release a substantial number of models, covering most of the larger airlines. Once they have done this, reduce back production to around 1-2 models a month, releasing the more exotic ones. That’s just my opinion and how I would do it anyway.

would also be easier to release since the have half the mold for that plane already.
Exactly. Many to be done even though Pheonix has done several.

It would be rather easy when compared to other moulds they could make. Simply add another engine stolen from their A320s! And if they wanted to make the -500 and -600 (Which in my opinion are superior to the -200 and -300), they could stretch the fuselage and make a new engine, relatively easily.

Not a substantial update, but I email NG asking about the 747 moulds, and they said were planning on releasing them in early 2023. This is some more confirmation adding to existing sources. Here is the email:
Sadly, it seems to be the case with NG in 2022 that we just won't know when the moulds will actually come through to market. Let's just keep our fingers crossed.

I guess we'll see semi-final samples next month (courtesy of Yesterday's Airlines), and NG will update the moulds with his feedback before releasing them in early '23.Not a substantial update, but I email NG asking about the 747 moulds, and they said were planning on releasing them in early 2023.

I would love to see all of these made, I would probably buy all three LH and Air China. Don't forget the LH Fanhansa livery, I reckon it is possible that we will see that in a double release with the original LH 748 livery.

Ooh, I missed that. I suppose government jets (Qatar, Korea, USA) will come after the airlines. Lots of -8fs to release as well.

Yeah! I am excited about the Qatar Amari Flight 748, always thought that Qatar's livery looks great on the 747. If they make the new AF1 748 (Which I am sure they will, at some point down the line) I will probably get it as well.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but if this post on NG's IG isn't a blatant teaser of the -8 mould, then I don't know what is...

This would be an amazing model to have
- I would definitely go for the last 747 made! It could go as a great companion for my Cargolux 747-8F

That would be a great one for them to start with.
