This is the Phoenix release, not NG!

This morning I was blessed to open a package from @DeltaMD-88Fan - I ordered Weston the Woodpecker and the Northwest CRJ-900 for $65 each. Due to some delays with shipping, he included his custom Peachy the Fox Frontier A320 as compensation. Frontier is expected to retire the A320ceos soon, but I'm happy to add one that doesn't exist as a formal release.

With so much pridr, I show you—obviously fully wrapped as a sign of the great value it has for me—my Air China A330-300 Star alliace livery.
My second purchase of the year is B-6101, and I call it by its registration number because it is the aircraft that welcomed us on our return journey to China. It was the first time I had taken such a long trip, and it was somewhat of a honeymoon with my wife after our wedding during the COVID period.
We absolutely loved China; we took a tour that made us fall even more in love with the Land of the Dragon.
A small note about B-6101: while helping cover my wife so she could sleep better, I lost a wireless earbud somewhere on the aircraft. After calling the flight attendants, they helped us search for it, and once they found it, they actually removed my seat to be able to retrieve it.
I truly never would have expected something like that—I was very pleasantly surprised!
Personally, I was a bit worried about Air China because it had mediocre reviews, but the crew, the flight itself, and even the food more than satisfied us!
Sorry for going on for so long, but I had to explain why this model is so important to me!
(It has now been placed in our memory box along with the tickets and souvenirs from the flight.)
The model itself only confirms the quality of NG Model.
The mold has been revised and no longer has the hole underneath for the stand, which I actually prefer.
I also owned Air China B-5946, and the padding is now entirely plastic—it fits the model better, and honestly, I much prefer it this way.

not exactly a purchase but something new for the collection via trade. Gave up two older GJ models I didn’t need anymore for this beauty! I somehow managed to get all 3 navy Airbus’ for just about 100$ total. Very happy and now i’m at just about 90% on my US Airways collection. 9 models left to go!

This doesn’t fit within the 1:400 criteria but I thought it’d be interesting to share nonetheless.
NG even includes a points card inside the packaging, just like any other model they make.
NG Models - China Eastern C919 B-919A (snap-fit)
with ‘全球首架 C919 The World’s First C919’ titles
As seen here, it’s got both gears up and gears down modes, and you can swap them out quite easily with the provided push-pin.

Someone got it! What does you think of it? how is the quality? Worth it if they made more of them?
They are a bit silly looking but if they made a US airline I enjoy it might be fun to pick one up for the shelves if the quality is there

The build is solid, and the fuselage is made out of the same metal they use on their regular diecast models. It’s got some weight to it, relative to its proportions.
The wings are made out of the same kind of plastic to those you’d find on the engine pylons of the regular releases and the wheels are rollable.
It’s great palette cleanser after collecting 1:400 scale models all the time haha. Feels like having a giant egg plane. Looks silly, yes, but I can definitely see a market for these. Great for gifting friends and family.

New arrival in the collection today. There are versions of this Mixue scheme coming from Panda Models and Aero Polaris, but NG Models has got their first and this one's looking really nice.
And there's just about enough space for her on the Hainan shelf:
