NG Models Rewards Program

[Mark22]

The rear of the hump doesn't seem perfect and the bottom of the fuselage goes up towards the rear a little too smooth maybe, but I don't see anything terrible.

They hinted for the City of Everett not long ago, will it be among the June releases?

not sure if it's in Jun release, but the 1st 747-100 will be N7470 as NG just confirmed in the wechat post comment section.
this is getting exciting.

The hump looks a little odd maybe but i'm eager to see the real thing! I'd love to have this blank... I have some custom possibilities

NG seems to have a wonky hump and nose, but paying twice as much for a cradle seems to be the worse choice..

I personally would probably wait for NG to release a second batch kinda like how they did with the last 747

Ive been trying to submit a couple codes from cards but the site doesn't accept them. Neither directly or going through the "valid code but still not working" link. That link goes in but won't allow me to click submit once I fill in the spaces. Any ideas?

another piece of NG future release news.

“Some enthusiasts are calling for the production of Air China's 777-200ER Red/Blue Peacock (also known as Red/Blue Xiangyun) models in a 1:400 scale. To accurately gauge demand, a made-to-order approach is being taken. Those interested are welcome to make reservations at various retailers. It is expected that two packaging options (collector's edition and standard edition) will be available. A dedicated production line will prioritize these models, and they are expected to be ready for delivery in July or August.”



it's currently in chinese domestic market only.
not sure how the overseas retailers would be able to participate, maybe just need to wait until the announcement.

What is unfortunate is that NG somehow manages to misjudge demand - or have a warped or misjudged perception of demand.

These 2 will be super popular - I'm sure elsewhere too - I'll pick it up myself.
Similarly, there's so many obvious would-be popular models that NG doesn't make

So they are unfortunately not able to capitalise on their excellent mould catalogue

Are they being wrongly advised?
Curious

 

[BillFlyTheDiecastGuy]

If there's anything I have learned, it's that demand can be utterly unexplainable, random and arbitary. Trying to accurately judge demand for dozen plus models a month is an impossible task.

Whoever's in charge of releases doesn't know jack s***t. I requested a normal KAL 77W after they announced the blackpink special(a crime against humanity btw, as is all of kpop), and they asked me why I'd want the normal one...

Submit the code on a laptop/desktop. Redeem points through a smartphone.

I always thought that the day NG came up with their classic 747 I was going to pop a bottle of champagne . Looking at the way things have unfolded it seems a bottle of Tylenol would be more appropriate for the occasion .

 

[747438]

Damn, I hope they tweak it for N7470, really looking forward to seeing NG make that bird.

NG keeps finding new ways to grind my gears, why make that gaudy special and not the original?? Just a bloody normal 77W/333/748, it ain't rocket science.

five new NG models announced.

Where are these officially announced? They're not on the NG website or on IG

the pictures are taken from a chinese retalier website wingsworld.cn
the announcement can be found here: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/WQEGBdaQj9yvRf3GSe2fQg (NG official account)
all of these are using a made-to-order system currently only in China and collectors need to register their interests through retailers only. not sure if outside could make purchase as well (at least also not in SG since i havnt heard anything from my local retailer)
