Wow, last announcement an ATR-72, this time two ATR-42. The regionals are coming in 1:200. Great news!!! The other models are very interesting, too.

newsnerd99 · 02-08-2005, 09:30 AM

Wow...Hapag 721 and a Swiss CV440! My 1:200 collection is looking up...

Bill G · 02-08-2005, 09:56 AM

Nice releases. Looking forward to the Convair 440.

Hapag LLoyd's old colors are a true beauty and classic! Are the Convair and ATR-42 going to be all metal? I guess the B737-500 is a plastic release. Is that right?

gottols · 02-09-2005, 05:25 AM

Hi !!

According to www.aviation-center.de ,the CV-440 and ATR 42 will both be metal ...............

Well That SR Convair just made a monkey out of my Western Models version!

Starliner · 02-09-2005, 01:34 PM

Very nice 440! Can't wait to see if US liveries are coming up.

TWALOVER · 02-09-2005, 02:13 PM

Herpa might be giving Inflight200 a run for their money. These new all metal models look pretty darn good (although I haven't actually seen one in person yet... the reviews seem quite favorable). That Convair Swissair looks like a cold beer at the end of a hot day.

jjorgemiami · 02-09-2005, 05:31 PM

Very very nice, as I said love the DAT and love the Swissair & Hapag Lloyd. I hope they do that ATR-42 in Pan Am and American Eagle. Would love the 72 in Olympic Aviaton.

TWALOVER · 02-10-2005, 10:13 PM

I would be willing to bet that the blades on the ATR-42 will be plastic. Sadly.

The 727 isn't all metal like the previous Lufthansa and AA????

02-10-2005, 11:04 PM

The 721 AND ATR42 are metal.

TWALOVER · 02-11-2005, 01:33 AM

I believe the Lufthansa 727 is all metal like the past ones... but I think the prop blades on the ATR42 are plastic (i hope i'm wrong, however).

The Lufthansa 727 was the first all metal one, I have it sitting in front of me.

Gordon Werner · 02-11-2005, 04:34 AM

why?

the props on all their other props are plastic. WTF does it matter anyway?

Sorry, I was referring to the HL 727 coming out soon.

It matters to me. I'm only interested in all die-cast models. Not a mixture of metal and plastic.

flieger · 02-11-2005, 03:22 PM

As far as I know, most of the "all metal" models have some plastic parts. Even in case of the famous Herpa LH727 the side-engines are made of plastic.
Usually props, engines, gears and in case of Hogan also the stabilisers are plastic. That's a tribute to the price, by trying to keep production-costs on a feasible level.
There may be some more expensive models like Western from the UK, which are entirely made of metal (pewter), except the tyres...

Inflight200 is all metal!

flieger · 02-11-2005, 04:25 PM

..the antennas are made of plastic....

But yes, you are right. These are entire metal. But don't forget, they are doble in price compared to Herpa "all metal".

TWALOVER · 02-11-2005, 05:40 PM

Mmmmmmmmmm, metal.

Chansen · 02-11-2005, 07:27 PM

For those collecting this scale for the most part. The Swissair CV-440 looks like a nice match with the DC-8-62 of In-Flight.

egonzinc · 02-13-2005, 01:08 PM

Wonderful lineup by Herpa!
Looking forward to all these releases!
