Later then planned and appreciate that a number of Retailers have already posted the photographs but for completeness NG Model have provided the following photographs of their 1:400 January 2021 release.
For those who are interested, the February 2021 "hints" should be posted mid-next week.

Pondering the BA 787-10 to represent the -10 in my collection (yes, I do buy a few contemporary models).
Otherwise.....these look like some terrific models for their respective markets. Wake me up when L-1011's and 747SP's are offered.

Story behind the "Vamos por más" text.
During the 90s there was beef between the CEO's of Mexicana and Taesa.
Taesa incorporated a 757 before Mexicana, and use to say that Mexicana won't be able to operate such aircraft.
So after Mexicana bought their first 757, they called it "No que no", a common expression that would translate to something like "yet they said no".
Then Mexicana's second 757 was named "Vamos por más" (we are going for more).
Model looks nice, the only misprint I see, is the missing accent on the word "mas", which is so small, you can barely notice it on most pictures.

They adapted the 787 cockpit - thumbs up! Now please place the cheatline/windowline BELOW the cockpit.
BTW: that upperdeck details on the 752F, such as cargo door windows and non-existing pax doors look SO crisp - incredible. The mould as a whole is a stunner!

NG, please paint it like your 787 hot sections and it will be fine.
Indeed, a blue tinge to the exhaust cone when all-new would be nice, or even just a different shade of grey as the engine ages.
In addition, the nose landing gear door’s gap keeps recurring and seems not fully inserted. This has been mentioned many times and yet NG Models production quality on this part has slipped.

Love the UTA doors on the Bamboo releases.
Only complaint I have for NG is one of a technical printing nature specific to the Mexicana release. You should never print white on top of a colour, especially a darker colour. Print the 757 tail white first, then add the patterned blue and green image on top with the Mexicana logo "knocked out".

Sounds like a difficult task as you would have to have the blue and green to absolutely exactly allign in order not to ruin the logo.
A more opaque white print might be in order though at the risk of creating a very thick layer.

They look great! Can't decide between the Qatar OneWorld and the Garuda.

Interestingly enough, my Iberia A350's landing gear was perfectly fitted...
Re: NG Model - 1:400 January 2021 Release Photogra
Anybody have any idea on where the Chinese Boeing 737's from NG November are? Most of the ones that got delayed came out in December but those didn't seem to make it.

Mine has the gap, but I really don't mind it. When I noticed the gap, I was about to try to push it in but changed my mind since I didn't want to damage it.

My collection of NG A350s is a mixed bag on the "nose landing gear door gap" issue:
Don't have the NLG door gap
Malaysia Airlines A350-900 9M-MAE
Malaysia Airlines A350-900 9M-MAG "Negaraku"
Delta Air Lines A350-900 N512DN
Iberia A350-900 EC-NBE
Qatar Airways A350-900 A7-ALJ
If you look at those that have the NLG door gap issue, the frequency for it to happen is increasing for the releases of the last two months, whereas the first two months' production batches are largely fine with the NLG door gap fully fitted.
Hence my unease on this trend... Not wishing it to deteriorate as the NG production ramp-up gets underway with additional assembly lines in 2021.
