The colors here look better than NG pics. Same of LH D-ABYM

And badly edited

We must be looking at different pictures

No it is definitely too high - but only by about a mm. Nothing to lose any sleep over for me

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.

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.

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

Cockpit windows looks better here, don’t know why they had to make it worse on Cathay and Air China releases

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
