Arrow Herpa Convair 440 Swissair
I have now published photos of the new Herpa Convair 440 'Metropolitan' Swissair; registration HB-IMK 'Neuchâtel'. The photo below, as well as seven additional photos, are now available on my homepage http://www.delftblue.de in a larger format.

Please notice, that my website is now solely available at http://www.delftblue.de - (the older link delftblue-daybreak.de is out of service now). So please update your link if necessary.

I received my model today and couldn't believe what I'm seeing Everything is just perfect ... even the Swissair titel has the correct dark blue colour ... yes, you read correctly ... dark blue!

I now hope other manufacturers get that colour right in future for Swissair

Oh, and a beautiful country it is. I was hoping you were on this side of the pond, because it would mean I would be getting mine soon! Oh, well, we'll wait a bit longer!

Danke, Merci, Grazie, Thanks!

Thumbs up
I see, he used to go there all the time, flew for Swissair then Swiss, and his wife is still with Swiss as a flight attendant. He is now flying for Luxair.

Zurich! A Gutten tag! Great, so do they still have the cow sculptures all over?

Default Screwed!
I have been resisting temptation for quite some time now, swore I would not get involved with 1/200, although I have built most of the 1/200 model kits released, I would not get sucked into diecast. This model has broken the pledge, I have purchased this model and only this model and will never darken the 1/200 doorstep again.
