Eastern 757
Wasn't just my first NG purchase, but my first 1:400 purchase of any kind in at least a decade. I'd been out of the hobby, but when I came across pics of this one, it really took me back to my childhood when Eastern was the airline my family used the most, and so I just had to have it. Needless to say I was pretty blown away by how far the level of detail had come in the time while I was out of collecting. I'm now up to 26 NGs.

That Eastern 757 is a true beauty!!! 
Here's my first NG:
Currently she's also my only one... but I really hope to buy some more in a near future! The mould quality and details never cease to amaze me.

Mine was Avianca 757-2YO EI-CEZ, which I recently took out for a photoshoot.
When I started collecting again in 2019 I didn't know who NG was, and was reluctant to purchase from them as I preferred to stick to the "proven" and "traditional" brands. I was not aware of how things had changed. I was also fooled by the fact that Aercolassics had produced some 757s using the NG mold, so I thought that they were coming along pretty well too. It was not until I started to have a series of disappointments with GeminiJet and Aeroclassics L1011-500s that I decided to dig deeper and came up to speed with the current state of things in 1:400 scale, largely thanks to the documenting work of @YesterAirlines. I have nothing to say about NG but good things. They are not perfect of course, but they do have a good thing going. I hope they can keep it going for years to come, and other manufacturers follow their example.

Hello! Welcome to MAF! It’s great to have another Australian collector on here, what’s your collection criteria?

Just Australian stuff. Any really. My Airports make no sense. Qantas, Ansett, Jetstar, Virgin (Blue, Australia, Atlantic), Air Australia etc. But it doesn't have to make sense does it?

Eh up to you if you want to make it have any sense or not. At one point I had my only freight aircraft parked at my pax areas and my pax aircraft parked on my non-pax stands. Then I had a mix of the majority of my collection (late 70's-90's stuff) with the few of my modern day aircraft all on the same airport. I actually want to do that again now having the thought of it.

Of course not! I collect everything Australian, and also everything that currently flies into YMML.

I got the other edition, minus the Dinar branding. I'd love it if they also produced the final Air Holland livery to match the Phoenix 767 release from a while ago. Even better if they did the Air Scotland lease version too.That Eastern 757 is a true beauty!!!
Here's my first NG:

These would be nice indeed. Would be a good companion to the 767!
I've got the Dinar version because it flew to Brazil in the 1990s, operating charters from Argentina.
