NG Models Future Release Hints

[pons399]

Creative but, at the same time, very underwhelming choices for their first 747-8s, in my opinion.

I think that was deliberate, since first releases tend to have teething issues. These two are probably guinea pigs to test the waters; even if there are flaws, nobody will get mad.

Makes sense. Let's wait and see how these two will come out.

I've no clue how well the artwork represents the actual mould/printing, but I'd be pleased if this is what the final product ends up looking like. The sample had the SP's stubby cockpit windows, but they're clearly longer on the artwork, as they should be.

 

[KL808]

I’m picking up the Alaska (Salmon), Southwest (Imua) and the Garuda (74yr ann)

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

From all that's listed, only the PK A330 for me. It's one I'd been following up with them for, and they'd mentioned it'll be announced soon.
It's a gorgeous scheme
The others don't fit my collection criteria - if they do a regular TC A333 and the Cargo A332F I'll pick those.
The 748s I'd really want:
HK Trader
Cargolux Cutaway
Korean regular
Air China regular
Lufthansa retro
Lufthansa new
Lufthansa previous (even though I have one each from GJ & PH - both with special markings / schemes)

The artwork shows the weird PH-like forehead though, does it?

 

[keji833]

Yes that's exactly what I want noticed as well...hopefully that's not how the product turns out

 

[VDH.FliesOut]

I would definitely say these three I will pick.

 

[Jazajia]

The artwork shows the weird PH-like forehead though, does it?

Sure does, just as the samples did. Also the cockpit windows on the BOAC artwork look low to make it worse. Two of the same offenses Phoenix commits with their 747-400 nose sections. The NG nose cone seems fine (but so does PHoenix -8, yet they still screw up their other 74s...), and the NLG seems to be aligned with the correct rivets, but hardly a potential BigBird replacement.

The MORE TO LOVE needs to be slanted like the real plane?

 

[Bulgogi77]

The MORE TO LOVE needs to be slanted like the real plane?

Yeah they need to be slanted and the text also needs to be lighter with the same color gradient as the main livery so it blends in more seamlessly. The text wasn't slanted on their More To Love A321 release as well.

Gemini got this right on their 737-990.

I think they’re amazing! Probably getting Imua One, both alaskas, or UCL 777, (that’d be really cool bc I follow the UCL closely)

Yep, the A321 has the same issue

I have to say, I was thrilled to see the MTL on the 739 as I saw it in person not too long ago; now however it leaves me no choice but to wait till the photos come out and I see with my own eyes that they have rectified the issues. Not liking how this scenario is getting increasingly common.

Thank you for doing that, oops, I missed the door configuration. From my post on DAC, Yes, the font will be fixed in production.

They have said to me they will update the font as well. The diagram I sent it after that so I am still awaiting a response. As silly as it may sound, now that I've noticed all these issues, if any of these are not fixed I may end up not getting it.

Edit: just posted it on DAC as well, since NG seems to be fairly active there.

Here is GJ version, no slant!

GJ did get it correctly slanted on the A321. They must've missed it on that one.

It's a shame the mould is awful... Hopefully NG will fix it on the 737.
