Well here are my guesses for this release:
A319 A7- : it is too obvious lol.
A320 G-T: lots of possibilities, could it be BA's first A320neo?
A321 B-3: alas the long awaited Chengdu A321neo.
A359 VT-J: The long awaited Air India from future release is here!
MAX 8 9M-: either Batik or Malaysia but I would lean more on the Batik, a variant release to the previous one which had no patterns on the winglets. This one probably features those patterns.
B748F N86* : Atlas Air
B753 D-A x4: 4 different colors of Condor's current livery.
B772 N79*: please be UA evoBlue!
B789 F-O: the remaining 2 Dreamliner of Air Tahiti Nui's fleet.
B78X B-17: EVA Air
B78X HZ-A: Saudia Red Sea
Tu-154 YR: another variant release of previous TAROM. Please NG, surprise us with a 1970-scheme TAROM!
Tu-204 CU-: Defo Cubana current scheme (in future release iirc).

At first I thought you copied the April fools list with all those B-, N- and A7- reg Airbusses.

Either way, nothing for me as usual. Still waiting for more interesting 747SPs, Tupolevs and Tristars.

 

[quanng]

Out of curiosity I just checked NG's website, and it seems these "Future Release" will make its way onto this release.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Nothing interesting for me... actually I think NG will only be interesting to me again when they finally start using their new moulds: 747 Classics, 767, MD-80 family. I'm still eagerly waiting for their "Classic" moment, which still clearly didn't happen

 

[pons399]

I actually thought this was the joke list, what a load of hogwash. NG hits a new low every month.

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Another expensive month for me
Many from the Futures list as would have been anticipated

 

[JJ Skippy]

Only interest would be the JetBlue spotlight A320. To be honest I would’ve preferred the joke list over this. Mix in some MD-80s and there’s my take on an awesome NG release.

 

[Steinar]

Naah…..They can do much better than this. We Europeans are just forgotten. Seems we don’t exist anymore…..

 

[B767Avia]

Not the best variety but I see about two that I'd want and that's I suppose good enough for me. I haven't really bought much this year and it seems my wallet will continue to take its break.

On a brighter note I presume the N78 hint is N78866 (so far the only reg that fits the criteria), in which case it would be another fulfilled request from the list I sent in 2020. Not sure if it'll be post merger or Evo, but either way it is pretty exciting.

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

We all know which Tarom we want, and I want that one too
But I won't be surprised if these are announced, and I wouldn't mind these, frankly, and if the cheatline one is on the way too in the future (from NG) . That'll make a nice set of 4 Tarom 154s across different periods

Any other possible livery versions?

 

[YesterAirlines]

Naah…..They can do much better than this. We Europeans are just forgotten. Seems we don’t exist anymore…..

There are 7 European releases on the list Steinar - s0 that's 7/10 of a Gemini month release set

NG have said the new sets won't start appearing until mid year.

Some of these future B-regs i hadn't noticed before. The Chengdu, Capital and Sichuan A321s will be very nice. I'm happy about the CZ A330 as well.

Yes they were part of the last 'Future Release' announcement - which had / has at least 11 I'd want for sure, and 13 if I let it go a bit

Of the 11, 5 are non-Chinese, non-US, non-UK, non-A7 - stating this to (partly) absolve myself - although you can't blame me for wanting to get those gorgeous special schemes from the B-land - or NG for replicating them

Yeah. I'm still angry on how they teased us with a Corsair 747SP LX- reg.
And they never released the Luxair

 

[1/400collector]

Wasn't 2024 suppose to be a year with mostly classics airliners?

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Yeah. I'm still angry on how they teased us with a Corsair 747SP LX- reg.

Yes agreed - that was a real bummer. And the Eastern but no Eastern.

 

[1/400collector]

Yeh. If your aren't Chinese or an American collector you're more or less forgotten by NG

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

As @YesterAirlines has mentioned a few times, it seems a lot is on the way in the later part of the year.

 

[1/400collector]

Yes agreed - that was a real bummer. And the Eastern but no Eastern.

Yeah what is up with all of those Eastern hybrid but no actual Eastren
