I hope there's no BA stuff in there this month, my wallet needs a break after ordering the ARD 1/200 A350 , but having seen the Tristar regs I'm hoping they're BCal or Caledonian.
NG Model have provided the following "hints" for their February 2020 release, the formal announcement will be made shortly, to the "hints" -
Lockheed L1011 Tristar
G-BXXX
G-BXXX
G-BXXX
N51XXX
Apart from short-lived specials, there’s Pan Am and United for the ‘N’ reg, and British Airways, British Airtours, Caledonian, and Court Line as possibilities for the ‘G’ regs.
A 788 mould, very nice, hope it isnt a typo though!
752;
N56XXX - Could be anything, im hoping for National Airlines as its something completely different
OH-AXX - Air Finland, im pretty sure Finnair 757s had a different reg.
738;
C-GTXX - Sunwing Airlines
N51XXX - Again, could be anything USA
B-20XXX - not a clue
G-TXXX - Thomson/TUI, hoping TUI with scimitar winglets!
788;
N71XXX - The only N17xxx regs on a 787 I can find is a United -9 and -10
PH-BXX - Again, only reg is a KLM -9 or -10
A330;
SE-RXX - Star Alliance or normal SAS A333
C-GFXXX - Air Canada, most likely in the old livery
PK-GXX - Garuda Indonesia
Tristar;
G-BXXX x3 - British Airways, with some obvious variations in type and colour scheme
N51XXX - not a clue
L-1011: United would be very welcome. It would replace my "Lockness." I for one might buy one more Negus BA simply because it's so classic, but Court Line would be welcome.
737-800
N51XXX Could be Alaska Airlines, Airliners.net shows that reg
Looks like a possible inexpensive month for me, a lot looks to be outside of my collection criteria.

Very detailed. Totally agree.

The three G-B*** Tristars could be the Negus 500's in British Airways/British and British Airtours varieties. I think it's too soon to be Court as these were only suggested recently. They could also be Caledonian or variations of...

NG Model have just confirmed two additional models for their 1:400 February 2020 release -
Boeing 787
VH-ZXX
VH-ZXX
VH-ZNJ in the 100th anniversary livery is guaranteed I’d say. I hope the other one is just a regular livery having only Phoenix and Gemini’s below average moulds currently available in these colours.
Some really interesting releases. I'd love to see a tui 737 and sunning as tui lease these aircraft in the summer at their smaller bases of Belfast, Dublin and Edinburgh. Not really much else for me this month which is fine by me as my bank needs a break

Re: NG Model - 1:400 February 2020 Hints
How can there be Feb.2020 releases when everyone in China is confined to their home? Perhaps this thread is all wishful thinking?

So more likely this NG release will be in the old/current colors or Star Alliance. Still will get a SAS A330 in the old colors!

Yeah, itll be interesting how ng handles SAS colours. Theyve always been notoriously difficult for 1/400 model manufacturers to replicate. Even though SAS make no secret the exact colours that they use for their livery.

I believe ng has their factory in the Guangdong region which to my knowledge isn't as badly effected by the coronavirus as other regions of China. I would imagine that ng will continue to produce and try and get them out of Shenzhen as the Hong Kong has closed its border with China. Hopefully of the virus can be contained, everything can get back to normal.
Remembering what the acronym stands for might help:
"Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services"
Learned something new. Had no idea QANTAS was an acronym. I guess the many of us that have been typing "Qantas" all of these years have simply been wrong. Kind of like typing Usaf, or Nypd, or Usa.
So I can now eliminate the "word" QANTAS as one of the words that start with Q that has an exception to the rule of a U always following a Q. And I can get rid of the idea that QANTAS is some weird Australian word that I never bothered to look up what it means.

I too hope things get back to normal quickly.
Currently, all factories, schools, universities, and most business have been shut down nationwide by the government in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
That includes Guangdong province!

Haha no worries Harvey, glad the info was useful! It reads and sounds like some kind of exotic word, but when I learnt that it was an acronym, it made sense and wasn't as random. Quite a clever device, really. It's a bit of trivia that can come in handy for pub quizzes (these are popular in the UK) but I don't think I can use it in a game of Scrabble

Yes, but our some work for this batch was finished before the New Year Holiday.

Blimey! What another great month from NG! Will have to get the Air Canada A330, Caledonian Tristar and TUI 737. Great to see they are releasing the scimitar winglets. The Caledonian Tristar has to be the highlight for me though

Waffle's announcement is showing two 757's: National Airlines N567CA and Air Finland OH-AFJ. "Drawings for the NG Models will be up later today."
Airliners.net shows N567CA as the racing-stripes 2018/2019 National, not the 2000-era USA LCC with the rainbow-ribbon N.
I'll pass on both. Still looking for AA delivery-livery no-winglets, and Greenlandair.
Light month for me, due to my collecting criteria and existing collection. United and Caledonian L-1011's, maybe Prime Air. Hoping to see PSA and bare-metal Eastern L-1011's soon.

Loving the Tristar line up, will no doubt get them all. Is the 'white' Aer Lingus, this one ?
The drawings are up on the NG website and it looks to me as if this is the one they are doing along with a regular Caledonian. As mentioned 2 757's are on the site but not the two VH registered 787's
Hope to see those 757s as well. For me, I'll be likely picking up the Garuda, the Cal, the US, the Finn if it comes to fruition and, perhaps the SAS. Another very nice month. Thanks NG!

Artwork on NG's website shows the United 787-10 in the wavy UA-CO merger colors. But it says it's supposed to be in 2019 new colors? I'm hoping for the new colors.
I will get the SAS A333 for sure and the United 787-10 if it will be in the brand new colors.
Harvey

I'm hoping for the new colors too on the United 787-10.
