Default ATR 72 Firefly sample

Compliment from Herpa sample of the ATR 72 Firefly 9M-FYF. A very beautiful livery from Malaysia.















Enjoy the pictures.

Not that good.

Prop blades are too thick
Oversized front LG
Underbelly joint, three piece fuselage construction.
Arrow print on the nose cone and odd cockpit window shape

It is Herpa new release Sept/Oct. It's limited productions less then 1000pcs that'2 all I can say.

We are hoping that Herpa may consider making the other sister ATR 72 MASWings to complete the ATR aircraft in MALAYSIA.

Maybe Herpa will consider making the Fokker 50 MAS, MASWings & Firefly before the ATR come along.

We did send an email highlight to Herpa. I believe this is just the prototype sample.

Prop blades are too thick (I'm ok wiht this, somtime for a scale model if everythiong follow to the size it doesn't look good)
Oversized front LG
Underbelly joint, three piece fuselage construction. (This is the only mold at solely own by Herpa
Arrow print on the nose cone and odd cockpit window shape

Let's hope Herpa will ungrade the few small detials & we get a great model.
