NG claims that this is “the best 747-400 mould up to date” however I think it is far behind the HX and even the JC mould

Nope. No. The Cockpit Printing is way way off. And/Or that forehead is so-Phoenix-ey ewww. Looks terrible.
Glad I didn't Pre-Order this one . Imagine waiting for this for a year!!!

I know I'm waiting for the same one too Hehe
Only if HX sells as HX. With Patriot branding the cost is 10-15% (min) more than NG!

Right. It's too extended - 'in-air' config.
Posting a 'flat-on' elevation-like CA 744 image - the cockpit printing is really off imo, and the 'hump' is a bit too tall and convex-ey? Or the cockpit position is perhaps wrongly too low, besides the template being off for the centre windows.

Yep, definitely something wrong with the cockpit windows and the whole cockpit area curvature. The nose gear is too long aswell - are they trying to copy HX?
Quite frustrating to see how NG is having a hard time adjusting their 747, while their very first mould (the 757) is perfect from the beginning.
I no longer look forward to see NG 747s... now my eyes are 100% focused on HX. They are the ones bringing in the nice Jumbos, not NG!

I think they did attempt to upgrade the nose section if you compare the lite version to this.. They butchered cockpit printing though.

I was kinda expecting to be disappointed given the silence around the the production of the mold. I am however somewhat pleased that they did away with the 747SP nose section.. I seriously thought they wouldn’t even fix that. Either way HX is the superior products it looks like.

At least they released an Air China 747 and not the true classics that everyone else has been waiting years for.. that way we can all assess if this model will even be worthy of purchasing.
