Yes. These two are are the most immediate and clearly visible issuesFor the 747, my only issues are: that forehead looks really weird, and the NLG seems to be too long.

Surprised the airframe was scrapped so soonI don’t know if I’m allowed to put this on here, but I still will. Also got an (orignal???) aircraft skin of Xiamen Airlines B-5160. Please spell it correctly first

converted into a freighterSurprised the airframe was scrapped so soon
With a bit of delay...
My PSA TriStar arrived as expected, given NG didn't use a proper cradle for this one: The lower reverser rail had no room in the cradle and broke...
Can be fixed but annoying nontheless.

works for some picturesNot sure if you can see my pics - I can't - but here's another arrival.
This one's destined for the workbench. HX's Clipper Storm King.

And just for the fun to highlight the bling bling nacelles, I removed the light diffusors for this one:

Mind if I ask you to send some photos of the cradle that this model came with? I am interested to know what NG has done for this modelI got 2 arrivals today!
First one is the NG Air China 747-400 B-2445. The front of the model looks... weird. I'd say the NLG feels high, but overall not a bad model.View attachment 51311View attachment 51312View attachment 51313View attachment 51314
Next one is the Northrop Grumman L-1011 N140SC. It’s beautiful in any way. Also, I haven’t tried taking off the missile, it looks as if it can but I feel like I would break it.

Perfectly focused photo of this beauty, and this is even more difficult when the subject is oblique and the focus, the light and everything else have an angle to work with.Not sure if you can see my pics - I can't - but here's another arrival.

Quite annoying. But I only get this problem with Flickr when linking on MAF.works for some pictures
Are we talking both models?Mind if I ask you to send some photos of the cradle that this model came with? I am interested to know what NG has done for this model
Yes the same with mine - fortunately though the entire conical assembly was dislodged, and nothing broken. I did notice though it had a socket or a notch - so inserted it, took the (terrible blurry) photos, and removed it before putting the model back into the cradle.given NG didn't use a proper cradle for this one: The lower reverser rail had no room in the cradle and broke...
Sorry I should have clarified which model I was asking about. I was curious about the cradle for the L-1011, and wanted to know how NG accommodated the addition of the Pegasus rocket.Are we talking both models?
Postman knocked my door today, Oh boy was he welcomed. 4 new models arrived to my airport.
Air Holland B757-200 PH-AHE from NG for my 90's dioramas. Was on sales so not expensive at all.

SAS A320-232 OY-KAR since I'm a SAS collector. A bit worried about JC's cockpit printing and need to fix one main gear. But SAS is SAS.

Damn, same here! I didn't realise until you pointed it out. Need to check the cradle if the broken piece is still there.With a bit of delay...

Sounds like that's a common issue on this release, I've seen many people mentioning this broken part.Damn, same here! I didn't realise until you pointed it out. Need to check the cradle if the broken piece is still there.![]()
