Hey, is the gear height fixed?

It would appear so, ar least based on the comparison with the Dragon 747. Even if it’s still a tad high, it’s hardly noticeable, and the overall quality of the model more than makes up for it.

I've noticed that both 757's don't have the overwing exit markings?

you're right. NG missed that one

Oh man I missed that entirely

I can confirm this as well…. Ouch that’s a big one.

Wouldn't this be part of the standard template for all 753s?

You would think so… It’s a shame because it’s a really nice model.

I was about to pull the trigger on those Icelandair models, glad I saw this first. That’s a glaring error that I can’t look past.

Decal for the overwing exit markings...

I wish I noticed but didn’t because it looked as though they did an amazing job on it.

This is still better than the competition - nonetheless. No one seems to be getting printing completely right these days - and for me mould accuracy is first priority, followed by livery replication.

Skyliners 400(made by Gemini Jets) American Eagle ERJ-145 in the old livery. I had been hunting this one for a while now and I finally got my hands on it at a good price. Another plane to the “planes I’ve flown in” section of my cabinet. To date, this is the last American Airlines/Eagle plane I have flown in, and that was all the way back in 2005. Man how time flies!

Korean 747-8i by NG, reg HL7636.

Full disclosure, this isn’t how the model looks straight from the box; I had some decal work done to lower the engine logos. It’s pretty much perfect now.

Apologized for the poor photo quality but I looked at all my NG 757’s and there seems to be a discrepancy between all of them with the over wing exit printing. Some have it and some don’t across a wide range of releases.. Maybe someone can verify the accuracy of this?

Keep in mind that overwing exit markings are only needed if the model have overwing exits in first place
Some of these don't have overwing exits so the absence of markings over the wings is correct.

with the exception of the Icelandair 757, all your models are correct

The 752 was available in two different exit configs: "I-I-I-I" (no overwing exit) and "I-I-III-III-I" which required the walkways on the wings for the type-III pair. All 753 have the type-III pair so consequently need the wing markings (unless of course these type-III were permanently deactivated - not sure if that ever was the case on any airframe)
