Same, I really want to pick up the BA 767 but with a new Panda and NG 763 mould coming, it's probably better to wait this out. I'd be surprised if NG didn't come out with a Landor BA with their mould for sure.

Yeah no, they don't and it's not even close.

IMHO Phoenix has the best 763 mould around. Donno what NG will come with, but most of Phoenix´s 763 are close to perfection. I´ll take the BA Landor and replace ( and sell ) the Gemini Jets I´ve got.

Ah that was PHX’s prime time for the B77W, when JC/GJ still used the cradle mould with the high gears. They might not have the most accurate details for a 77W right now with the newly introduced moulds but still I prefer them over AV4 (skinny looking fuselage like my UA evoBlue and AC), JC (the gear struts looked thick to me), NG (price). My most recent 77W from PHX is the Turkmenistan, which has not been made by anyone before so a clear choice.

It is more NG who should correctly print their cockpit windows. And PHX mould is pretty old and inferior to others like JC/GJ, AV400 and NG. What save PHX is their accurate cockpit windows which is currently better than NG and has always been better than GJ and JC. AV400 sometime mess up the cockpit windows for no reason like they did for UA (CO). That’s why that would be interesting to see a PHX version and even a JC or GJ

ng actually does not print the windows wrong. the problem is the shape of the nose section which is too wide. compare with jc or phoenix mould from diffrient directions and you may recognize it.

Indeed they have problem with nose section but also cockpit windows on most of their 777s (including UA). On their KLM pride and Korean, NG managed to improve their cockpit windows size but the shape, from most angles, is still wrong. And the two center symmetrical windows are still too small compared to the other windows of the cockpit. The wrong mould shape make the cockpit windows more narrow from some angles which is not acceptable

I edited NG picture of their new AF 777 from IG by adjusting the printed cockpit windows, without changing mould shape, and you can already see a huge difference.

Alright i don’t know if my eyes tricked me but the font used for the “AIRFRANCE” title is wrong (i.e: the letters are squished - same problems like the VN 78X 2 years ago which I did not buy). I have my eyes for the font.

Yes it is. They had same issue with Delta on their A320 or A319

In case you are wondering why is Phoenix releasing this Cathay 777, B-KPO is the first of the fleet to carry the new Cathay 3 class cabin. If you see pictures of B-KPO on Jetphotos or other websites, you will see it had the 4 class config which is going to disappear on all of their 777-300ER since the 777-9 will receive a brand new first class

Are you sure that's the reason? You seem to be the only one here who cares about cabin class configs when picking up models.
@DTcustoms can you confirm this info?

Cabin config matters when it has an impact on windows layout and destinationsAre you sure that's the reason? You seem to be the only one here who cares about cabin class configs when picking up models.
@DTcustoms can you confirm this info?

Phoenix ends 2024 with another strong set of release announcements to cap a great year. Some of the moulds are definitely approaching the end of their use by date but there's plenty of interest in this set:

This year has really been a blast with PHX
C-models have announced MU 763s you mentioned?
There's nothing on their IG, unless I missed it
