Here they are:

I wish they would have put the emergency exit arrows on the wing.... but still, what a beauty

Eeeesh!! You can reallllly see the difference, especially on the tails, between the Hogan and the GJ200 Air Canada models.

Yup....

B773ER · 03-27-2008, 10:09 PM

Gemini looks MUUUUUCH better.

cyhupilot · 03-27-2008, 11:25 PM

The Hogan is also very nice, it obviously has less detail than the Gemini, but if I hadn't put the picture with the two together, probably nobody would have noticed that the tail was too dark on the Hogan.

Also, to be fair, I think that the Gemini tail is too light

There was major concern about this in the thread http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...n-sisters.html

Thanks for the pics though

Yes I know, I was the first one to reply to your thread:

Which one do you prefer Freak? Skymarks or Hogan?

The engines and landing gear look nicer on the Hogan and the Hogan has a registration.

Another thing is that the passenger windows on the skymarks are too high and therefore push up the words "Air Canada" a little too high.

Hard to say which one I prefer.... the color is very important to me and Skymarks wins on that respect. Skymarks also wins on the shape of the cockpit windows, which are also very important to me because I think that that is the aspect that makes the model look like the real thing. But Hogan wins on attention to detail (reg, engines, passenger windows, gear, wing's leading edge, etc.)

I'm still happy with the Hogan that I bought and as long as nobody puts a Skymarks next to it I won't know that there is a difference.

Now that I have the Hogan though, I love it. I guess if I could buy only the vertical stab from Skymarks then I'd make the switch. The cockpit windows aren't as bad as I thought.

The Hogan details are incredible, the Skymarks colours are really good....Seeing the AC colours on a regular basis and then seeing the mint green instead of the ice blue can be disappointing on the Hogan. But then someone on this forum once said depending on the light, the Hogan is not so bad..oh well

If you get the vertical stab from RS/SM, it is going to really show on the HG aircraft. Why not just leave the two as it is, or get the RS/SM and upgrade it with rotating engines and detailed wings..

I've never really been impressed by this AC livery. Thats not even a powder blue or aqua blue, don't know what to call it.

cyhupilot · 03-28-2008, 11:56 AM

I know what you mean with the mint green, but it's funny because in pictures it's barely noticeable, like in this picture for example:

The color of the fuselage on these two are identical, I see no trace of green on the 777

I know, but look at it in the last pic where the 77W is displayed with the A380. I know its probably the lighting but in that picture the color looks yuck. They could have been more imaginative with the livery.

1:200Freak · 03-28-2008, 12:10 PM

Believe me Moin, you need to see them to admire them, especially the Boeing 777-300ER, to really now how wonderful the colours are.

cyhupilot · 03-28-2008, 12:17 PM

True...

How can someone find this ugly:

mjabbasi · 03-28-2008, 12:29 PM

Now thats Powder Blue, which makes me wonder of HG got the colors right. Either way I'm still getting the model.

1:200Freak · 03-28-2008, 12:33 PM

Well those colours are definitely not on the HG....when you get it, you will see a greenish hue (depending on the light I guess), but with the RS/SM the colour is close to the real AC not dependant on any light issues..

smoothjazz · 03-31-2008, 02:44 AM

Nice one! I'm getting one too!

not that it matters, but thats not a 777 is it?

Gargle Jus · 03-31-2008, 08:10 AM

it looks a little bit short

It's a 777-200LR

It's a shorter version of the 777-300

I'm no engineer, but apparently the shorter fuselage gives it a longer range. I guess it has to do with weight

airbusroller · 03-31-2008, 03:40 PM

The color of the a/c isn't all that but it is unique. One thing about this color is that it makes the a/c stand out when it's around snow. From this angle the color makes this triple 7 look somewhat elegant.

oh yeah! forgot they have 772s aswell, and longer distance probably has to do with weight
