5 years ago, can't get it from a reliable retailer now. And they won't do it again.

Right
And it was branded 'Eagle Models' if I'm not mistaken - wasn't released as 'NG'
*EDIT: It was branded as 'Extra Models' Reg B-HLD.

NG's already released a CX brushwing A330. Was a pretty under-the-radar release, but you may still be able to find one.
*Edit: Nevermind, just read the posts above
Sorry for reviving this thread, but is there any reason why? I've seen a bajillion Cathay Dragon, Dragonair, and old cathay A330-300s, but can't find a the new livery anywhere. Hoping there's a re-release or something lol

Now that they've ordered the 339, I guess it'll be inescapable
(4 years away though)Yeah lol, just hoping that someone (JC maybe, with their outrageous number of Dragonairs) makes the A333 again.Now that they've ordered the 339, I guess it'll be inescapable

Frankly given a choice - I'd love NG to make these - they have the best A330 moulds - JC's is way way below runner-up PHX's. I'm guessing now that NG have figured a workaround (and thus releasing their long awaited CX A350s) - it'll be great to see them release those gorgeous Dragonair specials and of course CX in the current livery. They did release B-HLC - the first A333, upon its retirement (of which I have a copy) and thus, will patiently await their turn.

That's true. I mainly pointed out JC since they've made 4 plain Dragonair's in the past 4 years, along with a bunch of the special liveries (which I agree are beautiful). I find it quite odd how they've done so many of these but haven't bothered to do another new Cathay. Of course, NG or PHX would still be my go-to if they actually existed

Hopefully those Dragonair specials figure within NG's understanding of 'classics' - I'm assuming there's also going to be high demand for those within the broader local /Chinese collectorate - besides of course their wider international appeal.
JC's were probably made ages ago and lying in their warehouse - considering they were around much earlier, it was curious for them to release these Dragonairs only recently
