I also expect what I got is the model as Tapemeister showed to us. I'll post pics after I get it.

blueodyssey · 03-07-2008, 05:10 AM

Hrmm there shouldnt be any logo on the engines rite.

Oh well i have the risesoon one.

Tapemeister · 03-07-2008, 06:13 AM

The 2nd batch delivered to SIA looks different from what is shown in the picture, with additiona imprinting and engine details.

superbou · 03-07-2008, 12:15 PM

Very good looking bird.
The price is not as expensive as I thought, because the current strengh of the euro.
Anyway could someone tell whether it's have a registration, please.

Arnaud

B-16707 · 03-07-2008, 12:45 PM

SGD shipped roughs out to $78. ill pass. not worth such a high price.

bioyuki · 03-07-2008, 03:17 PM

I'll be waiting for someone to get this as well to see if it looks like the one that Tapemeister posted.

Might buy the Qantas one in the meantime...so much cheaper...

etihad777 · 03-07-2008, 04:44 PM

This is mine gift from Singapore Airlines Istanbul Office

superbou · 03-07-2008, 05:13 PM

Great pics etihad777,
but I'm disppointed it doesn't have a reg

mjabbasi · 03-07-2008, 06:14 PM

Not that I want to buy SQ A380 but I wonder if my local SIA office might have one available.

so we're gonna have to wait for the first batch of hogans to sell out before getting these?

Flying Kangaroo · 03-07-2008, 06:22 PM

That's, along with an Emirates A380, are on my wish list. I really, really want those 2. But if I convert the SIA model into Aussie dollars it works out to be $102-00. Then you have your delivery... A bit too much for me.

mjabbasi · 03-07-2008, 06:35 PM

Will Hogan ever relese this as a retail model or is it only available through SIA?

Tapemeister · 03-08-2008, 02:54 AM

This was an older version ordered by SIA Marketing. Not the same edition as the ones being sold by KrisShop/SIA. The model is only available via KrisShop/SIA.

boeinglover · 03-10-2008, 02:54 AM

Hi Guys,

Just collected mine, bought it onboard the aircraft inflight sales. Same as Tapemeister's model, no engine logos. Lovely, one more A380 ( finally an accurate SQ A380 model ) to my collection. Packaging similar to MAS A380 box size and layout inside.

Hurray !!

B-16707 · 03-10-2008, 03:16 AM

and how much was it onboard? discounted? i know some airlines discount models bought inflight.

$78USD shipped is just too expensive if bought from krisshop and shipped for this model.

johnhung · 03-10-2008, 03:32 AM

Hi: Could you take a photo of the box for me? I asked Krisshop about the engine logo but she said the model looks the same as the photo showed. I think I may have a photo to her for confirmation. Thanks!!

Diecaster · 03-10-2008, 11:49 PM

OK guys, here is the comparison of both the older Hogan version & the latest one:

The KrisShop Inflight Duty Free magazine was posting an older version.

The one they are selling on board with all the transparent sealed, I said if I open but not satisfy with the quality, can I exchange another one but they said no, once open it, you have to buy it, no matter the painted was falling off.

The flat box looks like Risesoon to me...

The back side of the box.

The older Hogan version.

The back side of the box older Hogan version.

& the thickness of this box looks like a regular Hogan A380 release, which is the similar size of Airbus A380 House Color, AF A380, QF A380 etc...

The 2 together for comparison, the top is the older one, the bottom is the current one. You probably notice the bottom current model has many windows covered up on both upper deck & the main deck, mainly for the toilets in between 2 sections of the deck.

As you can see the bottom current model has only 1 window after the last upper deck door.
The 9V-SKA registration printed at the bottom one (towards the rear of the aircraft, a bit hard to see)

Diecaster · 03-11-2008, 12:13 AM

As you can see the current one on the right got the windshield wiper on the cockpit window.

The left current model had more detail printed at the back of the APU.

You can also notice the current model at the bottom had the red fin painted on the wings, detail painted wings, no logos on the engines, & the engines were painted in grey instead of white.

The tail cheat line becomes horizontally cut off, detail coroguard at the wings.

The older version didn't painted the inner winglet.

The current model had winglet painted but a bit sloppy...

Old engines.

Current engines.

The older landing gear on the left, the current landing gear on the right with "KA" on the nose gear cover.

The older display stand on the left, the current display stand on the right.

Flight Director · 03-11-2008, 12:13 AM

There is another official model made for Singapore out there. I have one here in my collection, email me tomorrow and i will post photos. I have the official A380 in 1:200 and 1:400 - both in the inflight boxes. I believe these were the models given to those onboard the first flights..

mjabbasi · 03-11-2008, 01:23 AM

That packaging is identical to the type the MAS models come in. These is known as inflight boxes and are called as such to save space if ever carried on board the a/c.

smoothjazz · 03-11-2008, 01:27 AM

So let me get this correctly, the one being sold on KrisShop IS the new version? If yes, I would like to order one.

mjabbasi · 03-11-2008, 01:28 AM

Yes this newer/updated version is being sold by Krisshop on board the a/c AND online.

smoothjazz · 03-11-2008, 01:30 AM

Thanks Moin, Alright then, I should get one!

johnhung · 03-11-2008, 01:35 AM

Thanks Diecaster. Your comparison and photos are very detailed and helpful.

mjabbasi · 03-13-2008, 03:45 AM

What a minute, thats $79 in SIN$??? I thought $79 USD!! That comes to around $55 USD is that right?

What mode of shipping do they use and how long did it take to arrive? Regular air mail or UPS/DHL?

FAEDC3 · 03-13-2008, 12:37 PM

S$ 79 = USD 57,2712 Exchange rate at the moment is:
1 SGD (singapore Dollar) = 0.794652 USD

At that price I'm getting one too! I thought it was much expensive, I have no idea where I'm gonna put all these 388...

Whoa, At that rate, I'm getting one too!

mjabbasi · 03-13-2008, 04:59 PM

Lol, none of us realised it was SGD $79. It appears to be around USD $56-$57, the average price of a HG A380. I ordered one too.

B-16707 · 03-13-2008, 05:01 PM

check post #8, i guess no one reads =P. ill put it in bold next time.

its still about $80 shipped USD. thats insane. ill have my friend pull me off one from inflight and save me $30.

mjabbasi · 03-13-2008, 05:15 PM

Problem solved for you, but not the rest of us.

Gah...I'm now flying to BKK on NH instead of SQ so I guess I'm going to have to deal with the shipping issue now.

superbou · 03-22-2008, 05:34 AM

They earn money with the shipping costs it's scandalous and insane.

I know! Those boxes are meant to save space, and yet they are still charging $30! My EVA 77W didn't even cost that much in shipping!

NYCAAer · 03-22-2008, 12:25 PM

I just tried ordering one from Kris Shop, but had no luck. On checkout, the website only gave me 2 options for buying it, both of which require you to be on a SQ flight. You could either buy it and have sent by mail provided you have a reservation on a SQ flight, or you could pre-order it in advance of your flight and pick it up onboard. How did you guys get around flying SQ to get one?

Rex · 03-22-2008, 12:36 PM

Thanks to Diecaster for throwing up snapshots comparisons of the old and current models.

The current was actually good. regardless of the sloppy paint job on the inner side winglets. Otherwise it's pretty detailed.

Phedre200 · 03-22-2008, 07:28 PM

This model looks a lot nicer than my Skymarks Lufthansa A380, so I'm sold. I'm buying too many models lately!

mjabbasi · 03-23-2008, 03:03 AM

I didn't see that option that you must 'fly' SQ in order to be able to get one. I simply ordered it online and got an e-mail confirmation instantly that my order was received and processed. Try again.

I just went on Kris Shop again and was able to order one. The first time around I was jetlagged from a CDG trip and must have misread the instructions. Can't wait to receive it!

A friend of mine just flew on the real thing from SIN to SYD in business class and he said it was like being in a fine hotel for 7 hours. I'll get to see it on the ramp at LHR on the 27th, but I probably won't ever get to fly on it.

Next up is the QF 380. I'm buying a lot lately!

1:200Freak · 03-23-2008, 11:29 PM

I first thought I wouldn't like the HE QF A380, as I was not too fond of the new colours and the HG A380 itself (those tiny cockpit windows). Now that I have it, I think it's beautiful...However it was bound to be damaged, and now even with a mended wingtip it's still holding it's grace! I'd recommend anyone to get one asap!

Roarer · 03-25-2008, 02:11 AM

Jeezo guys! - I've just ordered one after reading that there. Will look nice next to the Malaysia one I have. Next .... Qantas probably.

Roarer · 03-25-2008, 02:17 AM

Also, I take it they have corrected the emergency door cut off by the wing problem??

NYCAAer · 03-31-2008, 08:52 PM

I just got mine from UPS today... only 8 days from ordering to receiving it. Not bad. The box was slightly crushed, but the model inside is in perfect condition. My heart was racing as I opened the box. What an awesome model.

It's interesting to compare the A380 to the 747-400, in terms of size. I was epxecting the A380 to be bigger than it is. I didn't get to see it last week at LHR, I'm going to look for it again this week.

skyeurope737 · 04-01-2008, 03:40 PM

I ordered on 22 March and can't wait to get it. The model looks stuning!

skyeurope737 · 04-03-2008, 11:29 AM

OMG I can't believe. I received my model today via UPS, and there was 120 PLN taxes! It is about 53 (fifty three!!!) USD!!!
I have phoned to customs office to explain the situation and they said that there is additional 100 SGD for shipping by courier :O The additional 100 SGD was for UPS as they said! What is more I have not any invoice from Singapore. Only polish duty invoice with worth declared 109 SGD, and added 100 SGD from nowhere :/
I have no idea what's the matter!
Model is not bad, howewer, it cost me total... 152 USD...

1:200Freak · 04-03-2008, 02:50 PM

152 USD

mjabbasi · 04-03-2008, 03:21 PM

I don't get it. Do you mean the Polish customs valued the model at SGD $109 and then added a further SGD $100 and not $79 which is the actual total value of the model? Do they charge duty on shipping costs as well?

I'm sorry to say this but I think you were taken for a major ride by your customs department. When I got my model, I don't recall if there was an attached invoice but mine didn't come via UPS but by some other courier company and I had to pay a total of USD $9 only in duty. Today I received 4 Hogan models from the US and had to pay a total of $1.50 in duty only!

If the Krisshop invoice was missing then it was the Polish customs who made sure it went missing. All my MAS models arrived via UPS and there was a complete UPS invoice as well as the original MAS invoice attached and I have never had to pay more than $10 in customs duty.

I think you should call up the customs department again and ask them for a breakdown of the charges and ask them what is the duty structure for such items being imported into the country. This doesn't seem quite above board to me.

skyeurope737 · 04-03-2008, 03:24 PM

Yes... 152 USD... It is what polish bureaucracy means. I exactly don't know who took my money and for what...

53$ for a 'plastic plane toy' as it was declared?

In my opinion Customs thought that 109 SGD was only price of this model without shipping and they added 100 SGD as expected rate of shipping...
Finally, starting from this price (209 SGD) they calculated customs and added 22% VAT...
In customs office they say that I must call UPS, whereas UPS says that they paid duty in advance for my item and I had to return them on delivery... I am confused

At least the model is beautiful, howewer, lighter than I expected... there are two photos:

I thought it was much expensive, I have no idea where I'm gonna put all these 388...

NYCAAer Senior Collector Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: New York Posts: 300	Re: Hogan's SIA A380 is available I just tried ordering one from Kris Shop, but had no luck. On checkout, the website only gave me 2 options for buying it, both of which require you to be on a SQ flight. You could either buy it and have sent by mail provided you have a reservation on a SQ flight, or you could pre-order it in advance of your flight and pick it up onboard. How did you guys get around flying SQ to get one? __________________ *+ROUTE OF THE ASTROJETS+* Kevin

The current was actually good. regardless of the sloppy paint job on the inner side winglets. Otherwise it's pretty detailed.

mjabbasi Complete Wacko! Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Pakistan Posts: 5,466	Re: Hogan's SIA A380 is available I didn't see that option that you must 'fly' SQ in order to be able to get one. I simply ordered it online and got an e-mail confirmation instantly that my order was received and processed. Try again. __________________ Moin Abbasi

Now that I have it, I think it's beautiful...However it was bound to be damaged, and now even with a mended wingtip it's still holding it's grace! I'd recommend anyone to get one asap!
