NG Models August 2024 Hints

[abdulmohiuddin]

No Cathays in sight… boy did I call it or what Nvm, NG themselves just posted and the Cathay A359s and A35Ks are there.

Yeah my mistake I posted the earlier list that seemed to forget the Cathay's. I have edited the original post to have the proper list from NG themselves.

The Southwest California One 738 is a good release, as well as the Cathay A350s.

Other than those, this set is the absolute epitome of laziness. So much repetition and near-identical releases. For instance, do we really need three United 737-900ERs with minor variations? How about a United Max 8 or a United Max 9 (EvoBlue) instead? Those would be far more compelling. Also, NG has completely fallen in love with Star Alliance liveries. Releasing a bunch of those is definitely cost-cutting since they're practically identical besides the airline's logo near the front of the fuselage.

It just never ends.....

You're good lol. Avoiding Cathay/Singapore/Korean Air is a very NG thing to do, anyway

That's what I don't get. I know NG might be trying to save money, but a UA 737 MAX 8 would sell like hotcakes, yet they still haven't released one nearly 2 years after the mold's introduction. Quite puzzling.

I see blank md80s

Those 2 Cyprus A319s - will be really something if NG capture the slight livery variations on either - just like they managed to, on the 2 AeroGal 757s
Posting pictures of both below - fun game of spot the difference - I guess my designer's eye loves these!

will be sending some of those your way

Going to be an expensive month. Air China 777’s, both Cathay’s, BMI, Xiamen…

Hopefully they’ll be out by Christmas…

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

quite a few of these align to my collection criteria - either I see 5 or 7 coming my way. Damn

4 Cathays? This must be a joke.

You ain't dreaming. Enjoy this euphoria while it lasts lol

So how many are you going to buy

So how many are you going to buy

Probably 1 359 and 1 35K, need to save up for some 1:200 as well...

Probably one of the Cathay -1000s and the Atlas Air with QF Freight sticker. Not interested in the QF 737s as I have the Panda and I'm stoked with it. Would have loved for the VH- 737's to be Rex, ASL Airlines, or Virgin Blue but alas, not to be this month

 

[OscarBravo992]

I'm actually really thrilled with this set. Both QF 737s, the 4 CX A350s and the Atlas 748 with the Qantas sticker for me.

It's good to see it fits your criteria, but sadly still is a very craptastic set

I can't deny that.... It could easily have been cut down to 24 without much missing out :/

One man's craptastic is another man's treasure don't forget

For some reason the Cathay Pacific models aren’t listed on the website. I presume for a reason though… Otherwise this set is typical of NG.

Must be licensing, for sure
Considering their experience with EuroAtlantic
