NG Models November 2023 Release Hints

[VDH.FliesOut]

So, after a long couple of days, here's my guessing list. It's a lot of models for both US and Chinese carriers, and a decent size of Japanese carriers, which catches my interest. I have not found any info on JA0xxx, so I might have to agree with this comment below.

I'm assuming that JA0XXX is a Japanese 787 Fantasy Model

Besides the Japanese airlines, not a lot really interests me.

I’m thinking N32XXX is Delta, I’m not sure the criteria NG will put in place for the “Year Of Classics” but they might just do the NWA Airbuses then.

59025 Love Live 787-8 Dreamliner JA01LL(fantasy livery)

Now this is just downright ridiculous.

It doesn't even belong to a real airline? I'm pretty sure it never made its way past a flight sim livery. Is that what we're supposed to collect now?

Making five Zipairs in a row doesn't make all that much sense either. I thought they loved the ANA fleet but I suppose the 788 is not one of them. Have to say I was excited to see three JA8 787s but this month will be a hard pass for me.

Haha for me this is actually the only one I look forward to in this set though since I almost exclusively collect special liveries, I guess each to their own but that livery is really lovely for sure, and it is not like this is the only choice in the set.

Now I think the three Zipairs are ridiculous, how many of those mediocre repeats do we need?

 

[Mark22]

Another NG release where my wallet stays closed. Not a problem for me, just disappointing that with such quantities there is yet again not a single model that even slighty sparks my interest.

 

[pons399]

I'm of the opinion that fantasy models should be banned by law lol.

 

[CO777]

Not a single one for my collection. I hope they bring out the new moulds soon! This fantasy model is indeed a big nonsense!

 

[Phantom]

I'm of the opinion that fantasy models should be banned by law lol.

Is this a fantasy at all? I mean, it's a replic of something that exists - even if it's just bits and bytes.

Seriousely, given the production capacities NG seems to have, I think it's an interesting and dooable idea to offer one fantasy/special model per release set. If there are enough takers, why not?

Who is buying these mediocre repeats? Seriously, who?

59025 Love Live 787-8 Dreamliner JA01LL(fantasy livery)

I honestly have no words for this one. Apparently NG will do whatever a minority of collectors ask, but when the masses speak out, we get (mostly) ignored.

There are some genuinely interesting models in this set, but most of it is the same as the past few months. I don't know who is behind production choices at NG but they need a serious intervention.

Yep, I didn't know the fantasy Love Live 787-8 was more in-demand than an SQ 777 or literally every modern CX!

 

[Aviation Enjoyer]

These releases are kinda bad. On a good note we're saving money for 2024!

 

[mike_charlie_lima]

tbh, sq 777 has been released in multiple occasions last two years by ph, av and jc, if they want to avoid competition i can kinda understand, but still, could've come up with more interesting sets rather than simply repetition.

I agree with you regarding the 77W, but a non-ER 773 and 772 are long overdue.

 

[pommy80]

Yeah I think I might skip this release as well. Disappointed all 3 787’s are Zipair.

 

[Irish]

Definitely some areas NG needs to fix with releases, as much as I love them this is definitely a bit wild with the “Live Love”fantasy livery . Other than that I don’t think there’s any such thing as a “bad release” with the other models just means you get to save money.

On the other hand, I was correct, DELTA!!

 

[mike_charlie_lima]

I agree with you regarding the 77W, but a non-ER 773 and 772 are long overdue.

you dont say. the 773 and 772 are indeed much anticipated than the 77w. especially the old star alliance livery.
that's why couple months back I bought the PH version on the resale market, just think the chances of new release are nowhere near.

 

[abdulmohiuddin]

Didn't we just get a bunch of Turkish 777s?

Yes, but these are in the original colors, which haven't been made since 2010

 

[ghqv2988]

Again, a classic case of best moulds out there, worst releases. There's no follow through with the hype...it's all repetition. Where's the new 1:200 moulds? 3 ZIP 787s (seriously wtf), instead they could have at least done a blast from the past with a popular re-release. 3 more Alaska Airbuses? These might as well fall under the classics category as they're all retired planes now.


NG needs to take notes from Phoenix. Hell, even Gemini at this point has better releases.
