NG Models November 2025 Release Hints

[777-300ER]

Are all these chinese collectors really only interested in B regs? A lot of european and american airlines fly to PVG and PEK (and HKG)

 

[777-300ER]

Assuming these hints are only from 'Future' - I see at least a few that will align with my criteria
- Air China A319neo
- Sichuan A359
- Singapore A359ULR
- BA A35K
- Starlux A35K

Haven’t we already got dozens of these Sichuan? Can’t they just release the remaining livery variations after the requested models?

What’s the relation between N and tarifs??? Do they really think only Americans collect these N regs

Must be determined by their sales analytics as well as projections

There's no point releasing US domestic carriers or narrowbodies if their core market is unavailable

Also amongst N-reg mainline carriers , frankly only Delta really has universal appeal - followed by United at some considerable distance

That may be but think about it in reverse. MU and CZ fly to the US and Europe, but the majority of their sales are still in China. It'll be the same for DL and UA. Yes some will sell abroad - but not 500 as easily as 500 B-regs in China so it's a combo of sales likelihood and other priorities. Makes sense to delay Ns until the tariffs are resolved - again

Brother, read the thread - NG announces 'Futures' on their website - so these are definitely from there - and thus I'm just matching the numbers.

And on the Sichuans - these are the 3 A359s that were ever painted in the regular scheme - at some point of their airframe's operational lives. It's the first time NG has done a 'regular' scheme Sichuan A359 - I have an early Av400 B-304U, I'd really now like the unfortunately ntu B-32MV

Yes but that may be because the US is an as large market as Europe (if not larger)? There are still a lot of requests for Alaska, Southwest (especially since they updated the colors), etc. on their website. They still release a lot of N regs in 1/200 and they sell very well. This hasn’t stoped them from releasing Hawaiian last month?

I have seen a lot of UAL and AAL requests tho?

Brother, the answers to your questions to what I was stating , are already in your questions

 

[Alphaless]

Maybe its possible that NG feels pressured to do less business with American retailers due to the political situation? Would mean that less N regs is also a matter of politics and not totally economics.

Of course, the B-3 A359 could also be the CZ Greater Bay scheme gorgeousness - either way I guess, a B-3 is making its way home..... I'd say

Nope. They're not bothered about the politics of it for sure, and that pretty clear - they run a business, that's all - and neither are most or a majority of manufacturers or even collectors bothered by the politics - or Geminijets would have gone out of business long ago, amidst all the decades-long anti-China propaganda, and AC wouldn't have released Arab / Islamic subjects for instance.

NG wouldn't have released the 'Trump' 757s, for instance, or Japanese and Taiwanese carriers, amongst other examples

 

[airbeluga]

Well, other manufacturers are screaming louder for my money...

 

[JJ Skippy]

Honestly, while disappointing, I’m glad there’s nothing of interest for me this month. We can all feel our own ways about this release, but there’s always a next month. Wonder how the December batch will be affected assuming these tariffs hold firm.

On another note, these slow releases will allow me more wiggle room in case Gemini throws out a couple gems this month, or perhaps someone else…

[777-300ER]

A340's are coming...

After LH has retired them

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

Singapore A350-900 and BA A350-1000 for me, I wonder when those A340's are coming...

I'd guess early next year.... Or after the CN new year next year? Maybe an announcement next month or in December for a January February release?
Fingers crossed

I imagine the lack of Ns is a direct response to the potential of the 130% tariffs from Trump kicking in soon. I know several of the manufacturers are very worried about it. Sensible to avoid Ns with the uncertainty I guess

I got used to

But with the next evolutionary phase we might run into troubles

LH won't be retiring them until after 2027

 

[MIAv8Diecast]

I'll be honest I laughed pretty hard at this month's announcement. I have nothing else to give and I'm just here for the ride at this point.
