Default Boeing 737 GJ vs. Herpa

Both have nice detail, but I think Herpa takes this one. The wing surface detail on the Herpa is just awesome.

Screw The Insignificant Wing Surface Detail. That's Not What A Model Is About.
The Gemini Is Far More Accurate Nose & Cockpit Wise. Herpa's Cockpit As With Most Of Thier Modelsd Is "Falling Down"
The Nose & Cockpit Is What MAKES The Model.
I'll Take The Gemini ANY Day.
Though What's With The Engine Scraping The Tarmac?

GJ quality issues the reason why the engine is scrapping the tarmac. I've seen it on the AC A321 as well. Wing assembly is not properly seated/mated.

We Were Once Told By Many "Experts" On This Forum That If We Spent More Money Than What We Do For 1/400 Models, The Quality Will Be Better.

Of Course I Knew Better, But You Can't Argue With Their Rationality.
It's Obvious The Flaws That Litter The 400 Scale Have Developed Twice As Big Into 200 Scale Flaws, And They Charge A Hefty Fee Just For The Privelage.
