I will order the NW Bowling Shoe and the DL A321 normal livery! Will wait to see photos of the A350-900 first before deciding on the German Govt aircraft.
Thanks NG for the great releases! Also have to give kudos for taking big risks with really obscure quirky stuff like the 737 with mismatched nose and the Republic 757 with mismatched engine cowling!

Both Deltas and the Northwest for me. Thank you for another great set of releases! Noticed the chevrons on the core exhaust for the A321s, love the attention to detail since that is unique for CFM56 engines on the A321
Very nice. I'll definitely get the Luftwaffe a359 and maybe the Icelandair. Looking forward to seeing what the polish registered model is next month 🙂 🙂
Excellent, going by the artwork above it looks as though NG have taken the time to correctly detail the earlier RB.211-22 engines with the longer 11-degree afterbody and early cascade portion of the reverser, which are accurate for the Court Line pair, PSA examples, TriStar One, the Eastern BEA demonstrator, and all other early MSN examples for Eastern/TWA/Delta/ANA/Saudia, up until 1976. Just need the "canoe" for PSA, then Aero Peru could be done accurately, too.

Vietnam Airlines will keep them busy!! You can see a couple of mismatched noses here.

Excellent attention to detail there, both Court Tristars and the Nat Geo 757 for me.
Nice set of releases but just the NatGeo 757 takes my fancy this month. Shame about the delay on SP-EXX but no worries. P.S. i love the odd cowlings/nosecones, makes the models much more realistic 🙂
Yes might have the Court Lines. Shame the BAC 111s haven't been done as a set. only had a couple poorly released.
Will wait to see if the colours are correct on the Court Line Tristars.
What ' couple of poorly released BAC 111s'??? Both the Gemini pink -500 series and the Aeroclassics - 400 series were both nicely done with correct colours.

It's just sad, I give up, perplexed. New Generation Models redesigns the Rolls-Royce engines, and again misses an important feature of the RB-211 - the canted cowl. Doug

Bugger I actually missed that - I hope it's an artwork error as they have already modified the intake cowling - the Air India release I bought actually had this detail finally corrected?

Ooh, this is an expensive month. NW, Deltas, Court Lines, Argentina, and Suparna for me. Fortunately I can recoup some of my investment by selling off previous moulds.

Gemini's A320 mould is pretty poor, and Aeroclassics blue is too dark. So I'm happy to have it from NG.
I knew I’m not the only one who thinks both of your opinions.
BTW I am heavily reminded of the United 737 new livery fiasco from last year; I don’t think Gemini Jets will have the audacity to say “buy ours instead” in the way they did then because they know what’s coming if they do. Honestly, I think GJ’s gonna rush production to get it out before NG does, and it’s gonna be sloppy. Will be getting the Delta Thank You, so thank you NG for doing it.

For someone trying to quit the hobby again, NG sure makes it tough. Several will come my way. And thank you for doing the Delta ‘Thank You’ again, the NG A321 is superior to other the Delta ‘Thank You’ that have been made. With quality in mind, it seems the new engines on the Court L-1011’s need some tweaking on the slant of the engine intakes on the number 1&3 engines. From previous experience, the drawings match the moulds perfectly, so may ask NG, if the engine needs some fixing, can the Court L-1011’s be delayed until the engine angles are fixed ? I know the Court liveries are truly some holy grails for several collectors and it would be nice for them to have their favorite plane as perfect as possible, just an idea and suggestion. Thank You, ToddCB
That Luftwaffe A350 is awesome! Just make sure to get the wings correctly colored. A350s have light grey wings, and Lufthansa/Luftwaffe are no exceptions here.
Engine issues or non issues aside, the Court Tristars ought to be awesome, I'm really looking forward to them. Does anyone agree the wings look like the neutral painted version, versus the painted version, much debated over and seen on the old Gemini Jets release ?

Can you describe a little more about the Luftwaffe A350's wings' color?

That's exactly what I was going to say, but they said it first NG's A321 is superior than any other A321 out there. When I saw that both NG and GJ were releasing a Spirit A321, I decided to get the NG one (without even thinking it twice) because I didn't want to get a weird looking A321... In short, no matter if GJ, JC, or Phoenix make a model first, I'll wait until NG releases it.

That's not quite true. Panda's A321 is just as good but the general gist of what you're saying is true.

IIRC, flaps and stuff for an A350 get their paint finish pre-assembly, and that finish is standardized light grey. So the customer can pick either light grey, light grey or light grey.
Even the so keen on standardized liveries Lufthansa had to accept that fact and flies their 350 with light grey wings.
That BMVg 350 seems to be no exeption. I'd say only the wingips are white down to the black/red/gold ribbon. The rest is Airbus standard.

1. For the 13018, the Thank You titles look a tiny bit thin. Maybe you can adjust that with the actual aircraft pictures. Also the Awards decal would be in the actual model, correct? For additional reference I have a post about it above.
2. Would you consider to produce these models: Delta 738 N3734B - A generic Delta 738 is needed and I would love to have this reg!! American 738 N936AN chrome - Yes, the flagship freedom model exists, but I do want a generic plain AA retro. It has eyebrow windows. American 332 N290AY - I am aware that there was already one released, N281AY, but that one is sold out and instead of a 2nd batch, I would prefer to have this registration.

We had try to print the stick, but it is too small and cannot be seen in a 1:400 product. Due to the poor effect and it is a temporary thing, we finally had it been removed.
About the "THANK YOU" font, We have been paying attention to the production, and we believe that the final product will satisfy you.
We have written down your other requests/suggestions, and will add them to the future plan.

Okay, thank you very much for letting me know about the Thank You 321. Very excited to receive mine!
Also, thank you for considering the requests.

Greetings NG,
I bring to you some requests for future models as well. I know most of these requests aren’t seen by NG, but I figured I’ll give it a shot.
- Hopefully when you are able to get a 737-700 mold done, I would love to see the Southwest Louisiana One livery (N946WN).
- A Frontier A321 would be awesome to see. I have no preference on a specific registration.
- I’m not 100% sure if you have done a General Electric or Pratt and Whitney A330 before, or if you have a mold ready for it yet, but either way, I would like to see a Delta A330-300. Again, no preference on a specific registration.

Frontier A321 would be nice!
Also, I don't think NG has the engine option for Delta A330s yet. I really hope that they make one soon. Since you don't have a specific registration, I will put one instead: N814NW for the Delta A333 please! The reason why I do NOT recommend the newer A333 (HGW version with increased MTOW) is because they have shorter and smaller flap fairings and NG does not have the appropriate wing mould for that. Maybe if they make the A330neo (N402DX Delta hopefully) then they eventually would be adjusting the flap fairings as the A330neos also have the smaller fairings anyway.
