NG Models November 2025 Release Hints

@nb.aviation the pioneer tab shows up if you’re the wisher of a model correct?
The pink/red heart shows how many voted for it as a CRP wish (these automatically become Reservations)
The Reservations is the total (CRP wish + Futures Reservations) - as the CRP wish gets pulled out of the CRP list as soon as it's in Futures.

So that means I gotta wait for Wiley to vanish from the list before its announcement is closer to reality 😅
Now that you mention it, I don't think I ever got a bonus for the Icelandair 100 Years 757 - I voted for it and got it, but there was not ever a bonus attached to the card when I got it (however they were doing a manufacturer promotion at the time which gave me extra points anyway). Is this something I would have to conduct manually with whomever I order a CRP model from?

Yes that's how the website system is working currently - if the approved Wish disappears from the Wishlist - it means you'll see it soon in the Reservations and Futures lists.

If you've supported a wish or made a wish (ie. spent a point voting or a point was deducted while you made the wish using your Growth Value) - the Website now automatically recognizes it as a Reservation.

So regarding the Reservation Bonus - that's working with glitches (few of the models I supported didn't automatically convert to Reservations and I had to spend an additional point making a Reservation) since a few months now - there's a 30% bonus (same as Reservations) but there doesn't seem to be any kind of Wish-making bonus yet for the Wish maker (ie in lieu of Growth Value) and neither any kind of bonus for supporting the Wish with those stripes etc etc

I don't see a difference here. The fuselage definitely isn't XLR.
But I'd be highly surprised if they made a dedicated XLR.
What are the visual differences between the XLR and the LR/neo? I thought the only difference was about the fuel tanks

The most visible difference between the XLR and the LR/neo is that the wing-body fairing is longer because of the permanent center fuel tank. And the flap configuation has been optimised but to be honest it not the most visible difference but it is there. As far as I know, no scale model manufacturer in any scale has made a dedicated XLR mould as all the XLR releases I know of have been on regular A321neo moulds.

Even the wing-body fairing difference would be hardly noticeable considering the scale itself. But it always better to have another mould 😄
