Opinions on the 1:200 CX Models

CX889 · 05-05-2006, 02:39 AM

Any opinions on the 1:200 Cathay Pacific models? Are there any problems or flaws or drawbacks with them? And also, has the B777-200 model (the one with the green belt in the wrong place) been corrected yet? I am thinking about buying a few of these models so any opinions or comment about them will be appreciated. Thanks. =)

P.S. Anyone know if the B747-400 model has the red markings that say something like "cut here in case of emergency"?

I have the CX B777-300, it's nice, but it doesn't really wow me like I thought it would. I know others may bash me for this, but I felt a bit disappointed. The reason being, the shade of the passenger and cockpit windows. Something about the way it appears, just doesn't give me the impression that I'm looking at a model that is valued anywhere between $50-100 USD. Maybe I'm just an ******* when it comes to quality, or maybe I should just start investing the Herpa Premium Series. Paying the extra 50 USD was only worth having it merely in a 777-300 frame and in the Cathay Pacific logo, because the airline was too anal at the time to license anyone to make models of their aircraft. However, I'm still probably not going to sell my model until the day I die, just because I love that airline so much. So, I'll keep my model and continue bashing the quality until it's perfect, because I am an *******.

I do had some reservation in regards to the 1:200 & 1:400 of CX 744 B-HUI which are wrong on the upper deck emergency handle "vertical bar", it was also on the wong side, closer to the right edge.

However, for the 1:400 B-HOX & b-HOY upper deck emergency handle "vertical bar" was correct, closer to the left edge.

I have the 777-300 and 747 HUI. I picked them up in HKG airport and they are great models!

No, there is no "Cut here in emergency" sign on any 1/200 CX models yet.
I have all 1/200 CX models except 777-200 due to the green belt nose problem. not sure if it has been fixed, but according to previous experience, I doubt CX is willing to change anything on that mould/stencil at this stage.
