News concerning the HERPA Premium Series

Nobbe · 03-04-2003, 08:02 AM

These are the latest news from HERPA on the Premium series as of today:

Don't panic, we're still working at it: the components have been completely produced (between 100 and 154 components per model), the fuselages have already been assembled, and the first printing procedures are carried out. That will, by the way, be a colorful model, no Euro white livery ;-))

I´d like to add something funny, but unfortunately nothing just occurs to me to this.

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 03-05-2003, 07:36 AM

Any ideas on the a/c type please? My money is on a Boeing 747-400 as all the other types are getting "vintage".

Cheers!

A colourful model. Could it be the "Wunala"? I know Herpa is releasing a NP version but you never know.

It is quicker to make a 1:1 scale a/c!

Cheers!

No Euro white livery, no more pasted pictures. Sounds great to me. It's finished when it's finished.

Bring it on!

any progress? will we ever see a new premium by herpa before the A380 is out there test-flying? what a/c type are they producing???

please do not produce another 737...they are nice, but rather small for such a price tag.

Kill me if I am wrong,
but someone said (in wings900?) that the next premium would be a THAI A300-600! can anyone confirm this?

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 03-24-2003, 01:10 AM

Sadly yes!

Cheers!

B-huj · 03-24-2003, 02:16 AM

Thai is not exactly a "colourful livery"??!! and it actually is very eurowhite!

I am not complaining too much, I like the colours and its good to have a A300 again! Let's see what the model looks like and maybe I will go for it.

Dr E, is this true? The next Premium will be a Thai A300-600? Is it with the "Kings 72nd Birthday" sign? What registration is it?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Dominic.

The very disppointment that is when Herpa make such Premium charge at a premium price doesn't come with a "Star Alliance" logo...!

Dr. Edmund H. Carus · 04-06-2003, 01:14 PM

The cockpit windows are poor! - and the wipers are overscale! Also I see evidence of wavy tampo printing!

Cheers!

Diecaster,

here´s a picture of the original aircraft. It comes without Star-logo but with "King´s 72nd Anniversary" sticker - like that one on the model.

I am not so sure, to me it looks like the Emirates version, but the sandwhich effect is not clear due to overexposure of the image. I have to see the actual model to make a judgement.

On the other hand, I stress, this is not exactly NON-EUROWHITE! At least it is an Asian livery. If the Euro goes down a bit, I will consider purchasing the model.

I was hoping for something a bit more colourful and striking. Even the Royal Barge 747 would have been nice...
