NG Models December 2024 Hints

[planes_on_a_shelf]

I had to look up even who that airline was, but on this occasion I'm going to have to disagree about the scheme - reminds me of a cow!

Luke was the renamed Blue Panorama - I love this scheme haha and especially because it's asymmetrical - frankly I'd probably been one of those to suggest this to them many many moons ago hahaha

C'mon, I love it's sheer, unabashed joie de vivre - so rare from a European airline - and cute cow below sends their love

Not sure how to exactly feel about this release. While the Delta A330s are awesome (won’t get either since I already have both types) and some of the unique choices like Luke Air are definitely better than prior releases, the six Wizzair A321s are very much a standout, not in a good way IMO. I thought the five Atlas Air’s were ridiculous, but the six Wizzairs are insane! I see they’re all operated by different divisions so at least there’s that; how do the EU collectors feel about that?

Other notes, too many fantasies again and the Star Alliance liveries are definitely not needed in excess quantities. It’s really a spilt bowl in terms of describing this release from my perspective.

Luke Air

I had never ever heard of or seen Luke before. Interesting choice and a chance for NG to use that early v.tail they had on their samples - would be a first time.

I'd come across it a few years back I'd think -during my time in one of those internet rabbit holes haha

I really hope they use the right V.tail -time for one of your emails to NG I'd say?

Releasing fantasy BA 77W while they never made a regular and all of these 747-8F fantasy and rereleases before any wanted Korean Air 747-8 is disgraceful
Moreover they bring us another SW MAX 7 while there are still many of them in stock and we definitely need a regular MAX 8 with the right colors!

I'm guessing they're releasing a Max 7 because the new 1:200 ones seem to have the correct shade of blue now.

Also why are we getting an Air France A350 with a sticker... Very happy to see the Delta A330s though.

A somewhat disappointing release that I have to familiarize myself with… despite saying that I’ll surely pick one of the Wizzair A321neo. Otherwise my wallet is safe.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Luke Air is fantastic (I really like the livery) but very odd choice!!! Absolutely unexpected.
Good to see the Iran Air B747SP in latest livery, and the KLM & Wizz Air for those who were asking for European models.

The fantasy releases are ridiculous, I really despise them and wonder why NG is obsessed with these

Happy to see a Hainan 330 in a standard livery. Will get the A350’s as well. Not bad releases excluding the fantasy liveries.

I'm hoping the 2 diff regs are new and old standard scheme

How I wish that Atlas/Qantas 747-8F was real...

 

[abdulmohiuddin]

One of those Iran Air 747SP's is coming home to me! Now only if I could accompany that with a SyrianAir 747SP as well

 

[SJOIB7685]

Would've preordered the AF A350 but NG decided to add a useless sticker so I'm skipping it... ugh!

About time! Gettin this one

Edit: Embed fail, I meant the DL A332.

 

[Mikeymag]

Ordering one of them.

 

[keji833]

It's such a shame the Thai A350 comes in Star Alliance, one of the ugliest liveries.

Aside from that good release overall, both Delta A332, French A359 and Iran SP are coming home for sure.
