NG Models 747-8

[VDH.FliesOut]

FINALLY! Richard just posted this. Since this is NG's first "full-size" 747, it should also be a good preview of their -400 and Classics.

Awesome! Has it been confirmed that NG will be doing the other 747s at some point?

We are calm it's just one of those modern spaceship-looking airplanes, with pointy wingtips and jagged engine exhausts, of which there is no shortage of moulds and releases available... When the real 747 mould series gets announced then yeah... j/k, j/k...

Richard said no word on the other "more important 747s," his words. I do hope he's juts playing dumb...

Oh yeah, I'm aware I thought putting this meme reaction would be perfect. It's also great to finally hear any updates about the B747 from NG after a couple years of silence and leaks.

HL7644 here we go!

Good to see NG finally getting that 748 finalized. Hopefully that gave them sufficient time to work out any and all kinks with the mould, given that they usually get a few minor details off by a slight bit when they debut a new mould. Fortunately they are quick to fix issues…

They should be fine...the 737 Max 8's came out great. No issues with them that I see anyway

Don't know about the -400, but the Classics have been teased for quite some time.

HL7644 here we go!

Either that or 7636 would be awesome.

I’m hopeful the classics will be done at some point. Those BigBird ones fetch a lot on eBay…

Finally! I’m hoping for a Cathay Cargo -8F. Also might buy an Air China or LH.

NG has always released the first model from a new mould a month after Richard's review, so an -8i will likely be in April's set. Lufthansa old livery is the most likely imo.

I guess i better sell all of my BB400/AC 747 before they will be worth nothing

Now that the march set as been announced, doesnt NG usually announce new moulds a day after the release set?

@pons399, you will be glad to hear that Richard has confirmed the 747-8 samples have moulded belly intakes.

Just saw that, I'm ecstatic! Can't wait to see the full review.

I'm also not especially interested in a 747-8, I have the ones I need and they are more than adequate for the level of interest I have in the type. That said, I don't blame NG for trying this, before tackling the 'main course' as others have alluded too. And I'm already visualising our main critics doing 20 press ups per day, getting match fit for Le Grande Critique Fest'

DA.C and his social media.
