NG Oct 2023 Release Hints

[Bulgogi77]

A319:

N30 - Delta or Allegiant

A320:

N64 - Spirit, jetBlue, or AA
N69 - Spirit
N85 - Alaska
N32 - Delta or Frontier
N36 - Delta, Frontier, or Alaska

Man, NG's been pretty quiet in this department for quite some time but they're going full throttle this month!

There's so much that they can do with these hints! I think the N64xxx and N69xxx are Spirit A320s (one with WL and one without - seems like NG wants to do their whole fleet). Not ruling out JetBlue, American, U.S. Airways, or even America West. N36xxx could be Frontier, Alaska (WL), Virgin America (WL), Delta (!!!), or Northwest. N85 is likely Alaska with fences. Now that I think of it, I can see NG doing a Spirit set and an Alaska set. I'd love to see different airlines for each hint though for variety sake. I hope N369FR is one of these.


The N30xxx A319 is either Allegiant, Allegiant Las Vegas Golden Knights, American (WL, they do have one with this prefix), Delta (!!, would be very interesting to see considering Gemini has it as a future release), or Northwest (either the Bowling Shoe or 2003-2009 livery).

Also I don't see a N32xxx A320 hint on NG's Instagram post. If I just didn't see it, that's either a Frontier NEO, Delta, or Northwest.

Regardless of which liveries we get out of those hints, I'm very happy to see NG doing U.S. A320s.

America West old colors (beige) would be the best of all of those options. Followed by Northwest for a bit of fleet building (for a time in 2005-08 or so they had 2-3 on the ground at IND at one time, from MSP, MEM, DTW, LAS, or LAX.

Europe narrowbodies doesn't seem to be their territory. Maybe they think that European collectors are more focused on Herpa 1:500 releases, but that's just a wild guess from me...

I would believe that but NG does make some occasionally. We've had a few this year but they just seemingly ignore it despite models selling really well...

 

[DiamondCollector]

Oh jesus 2 more BA 772s…my wallet can’t cope

Which one will it be regular livery ge 90 hopefully

 

[Steinar]

Still waiting for SAS B736,7 and 8. You got it why not do it……….. Come on!

 

[VDH.FliesOut]

Okay, here's my guessing list. Not a lot interests me, so my wallet gets a break. However, I'm very curious to see what the EC-xxx registrations are! From my research, those A330s are a goldmine for hybrid liveries and a few interesting airlines!

The Allegiant Las Vegas Golden Knights would be interesting, but otherwise, my wallet will get the month off.

 

[Super727]

N36xxx could be Frontier, Alaska (WL), Virgin America (WL), Delta (!!!), or Northwest.

Definitely feels long overdue for NG to do some Frontier. All those different animal tail designs are perfect fodder for them and their pattern of releasing multiple variations of the same livery, like they've done with JetBlue, Icelandair, Condor, etc. The fact they've never done a single Frontier model up to now is really surprising.

 

[OscarBravo992]

Pretty boring list to me… Only thing that catches my eye is the 9M- MAX.

 

[IndyJets]

The Allegiant Las Vegas Golden Knights would be interesting, but otherwise, my wallet will get the month off.

What about America West original colors? Or some fleet building opportunities for Northwest?

 

[SJOIB7685]

I really hope at least one of these is an Iberia A330-200 (EC-MLB "Iberoamérica"). It's been on my list for so long and also suggested that specific registration to NG so let's see... Fingers crossed

 

[quanng]

From what Tung has observed, the boxes from last month Rossiya Tu-204/214 were 2 pieces of a 4 pieces puzzle. This month should cater what Panda got out recently: the two Rossiya Tu-214 that has the "canoe" communicating equipment on top. The difference between the 2 models is that one carrying the "Rossiya" title, the other doesn't. I have purchased all 2 versions from PM. By the way, I am really, really hope that A330 EC- turns out to be Iberia n/c A330, especially the -300 variant - I have suggested NG to make those and it would be a welcoming addition to my collection.

 

[Purpleplane]

What about America West original colors? Or some fleet building opportunities for Northwest?

Yeah, that's true. We'll have to see what ends up being released

 

[DiamondCollector]

Seriously, what is NGs problem with European narrowbodies? Literally nothing for 2 straight months…

If it makes you feel better I’ve been waiting for an toothpaste air Canada models for almost 2 years now

NG could do a set of 4 Frontier A320neos just like they did with the Icelandair 737 Max 9s. That'd be an outstanding set, especially if they pick regs that haven't been produced before.

 

[pons399]

Seriously what's the odds we ever see a Cathay A359/A35K, seems 0.

I wouldn't bet on it, NG and modern Cathay are like oil and water. Weird because that's the absolute last Asian airline you'd want to skimp out on as a manufacturer.

Good month for US airlines tho, will happily pick up all those NXX A320 series.

Indeed, as always.

 

[CO777]

The Allegiant Las Vegas Golden Knights would be interesting, but otherwise, my wallet will get the month off.

Me too. But maybe I pick some A320 from defunct airlines like AW, US, NW... if they will be made.

 

[thiscooldude]

FAB2 is definetely an Odd Reg IMO, Unless its a typo.

 

[OscarBravo992]

Releases are out. Just the Batik MAX 8 for me.
