An Accurate Boeing 747 is there one apart from the Herpa Premium Models

Apart from the Herpa Premium Boeing 747-400 models, all the 1:200 models which I have seen from Herpa/Hogan are inaccurate, notably in the wing root area. When the older 200 series a/c models appear. these are even worse.

Hogan/Herpa NP got the shape wrong in the 400 Series models and are compounding this by using the same fuselage shape (by cost cutting) in these older a/c models where the wing/fuselage geometry is quite different.

Two further complaints - where are the prominent wing trailing edge antennae on the 747 100 and 200 models and why are the cockpit windows so shoddily represented?

I think that Herpa/Hogan need to know about these inaccuracies!

Cheers!
