Default Hogan question

For anyone who has both these models,
  • Hogan Air Canada 777-300
  • Hogan Air Canada A340-500
Are the colors the same (fuselage and vertical stab). May soundlike a stupid question, but I have the 1:400 versions from Gemini and the colors are slightly different because they were not produced the same year.

Post pics please... if you have.

Thanks guys,

I think the Hogan A340-500 is more of the ice blue. Here is a pic from Grupo Oceanwings :: Sky Shop :: Sky Bags :: Sky Camera :: Air Fashion ::

I have both, and the colors are slightly different... 773 has the blueish hue we have discussed about in other threads

They should at least make the colors the same from aircraft to aircraft....

Now I'm afraid that if I buy the A340, it won't match with my 777

Anyways, thanks for the info guys.

You mean even bluer than the 773ER? I think we discussed it having a more mint green colour, while the RS/SM had the blueish hue....but then to each his own

The 340-500 is beautiful. Perhaps the paint that hogan used for a sample was faded? That could easily explain it. the a345 is beautiful.

Well a Hogan Airbus A340-500 is beautiful...unfortunately there is only an AC out there...and now it's not even in the fleet!! It's about time an Etihad Airbus A340-500 and 600 was made!

I second that!! The potential on that mould is being wasted... There are a number of possible models to be made, like the Etihad 346/345, Iberia 346, Chine Eastern... or TAM 345
