NG Models February 2025 Release Hints

[BHD]

I’d rather watch paint dry then this release

EC-FOZ is the only good part

Was hoping the SAS would be in the old colours but NG already making rereleases

 

[Mikeymag]

I'm hoping this means we'll see the black nose in the regular scheme soon - in both tail cones? Unless they weren't painted on by the time the screwdrivers came in

N579AA

Same with me. Nothing interesting except the Iberia MD-80.

I was hoping for a Delta or PSA MDs.

 

[DTcustoms]

The Iberia is the only one I am getting, will go well with the Buchannan Tristar

I like American MD-80's as much as the next guy...but I really don't need 5 of them. Just give me the black nose cone with both tail types, and I'll be a happy camper. There are so many more airlines that can be done...AirCal, Alaska, Continental last scheme, Frontier, Northwest, PSA, Republic, and USAir last scheme for starters...

More American? Why not some United and Delta...

United never flew the MD-80, unless you want a fantasy.

They have all been different countries regs so far, SE,OY,LN so not re-releases.

It’s not really a big difference I still like to call it a rerelease. Would have been better with the delivery colours
Also I was just talking about the livery not the reg

I don't collect SAS, but I bet someone who does would say it is a big difference.

what a boring month of releases for anyone whom doesn’t collect asian aircraft.

Asia is much larger than China and Japan lol, it’s been a horrible 3 years for anyone who collects other Asian stuff.

For players who primarily collect the following carrier titles: Air China, ANA, Delta, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, PM, HX and NG Empty my wallet every month for the past two years ........

Agree with Purpleplane. There are so many more MD-80 airline models we need. We do t need more American

It really hasn’t though has it. Plenty of other big Asian carriers have been done in handfuls by the other brands. Yes NG moulds are probably the best, but AV400 / Panda and some Phoenix are just as good alternatives.

You never should put all of your eggs in one basket in this hobby.

I collect SAS and three MD-87's with different regs is absolute heaven (and not a re-release). Next time they could do other regs in the 80's color. That means MORE SAS MD 80's. I will pick them up Sunday at the Amsterdam Aviation Collectors Fair.

Ah I was thinking of Continental my bad

 

[KamiSchmolz]

You just keep making lots of blanks with the same paint and then change the registration number next month and keep selling them. Money is not that easy to make. I wish N92xxx was Delta's MD-88, because they were the first user of the MD-88, but I obviously overestimated your product manager.

Everyone is mentioning black noses on the February AA MD-82 Models. But the one with the regular livery seems to be the same variant as the previous ones without the black nose. Hm...

I think the N214AA has the black nosecone, but it also has the "working together" titles

I guess some folks here will have to reconsider my Sharpie advice!
