I’ll reserve judgement until I receive mine. Hopefully it’ll be like NG’s ABYM, whose cockpit windows looked ridiculous in pics but alright in person…

Did you get V1 or V2?

V1, the one where NG omitted the silver leading edge printing.

I had V1 and V2 and I don’t regret getting the second version
More accurate colors, cockpit windows and silver edge.
They haven’t changed their official pictures of the model at retailers but you can still find some on their Instagram but also Phantom pictures on this forum
which are the reason why I decided to get V2

I'd appreciate if you'd show some side by side comparisons of both. I've been asked a few times but only have V2. Would be nice to see them side by side.I had V1 and V2 and I don’t regret getting the second version

To my knowledge V2 has smaller and thinner cockpit windows. Those on V1 looked oversized and stubby in pics, but it’s barely noticeable in person.I had V1 and V2 and I don’t regret getting the second version

I don’t not have V1 anymore so, unfortunately, it will not be possible for me to make a comparaison anymore

They definitely made the Southwest Heart livery 737s look better than they actually do in-person. The real models are way way way too dark.

I hope that they re-release those. Agreed, way way too dark. They got the colors spot on with the 1:200 recent releases, so I know they can do it. I just can’t display them next to their earlier 737-800 releases.

Those are one of the few models that I hope they re-release

Got my Korean 747-8 today; a model that I have waited a long time for. Unfortunately, the logo’s on the engines are too high, noticeably high. Distracts from the overall beauty of the model and all the good points.

Like I said, I thought about canceling my pre-order after I saw the misprinted logos. Yes, they are off, but now that I hold mine in hands I must say the overall beauty of this livery just makes up for it.
Here's mine:

Stunning model! Despite the high logos... what a beauty. A nice farewell for this livery too, now sadly replaced...
