Thumbs up This is one airline I would like to see Herpa produce as a 1:200 Non Premium!



This is a very popular model among collectors. SWA 737's are already produced in 1:400 and 1:500 scale and 737-300 mold is already produced in 1:200 scale. It would be nice to see Herpa produce this model in 1:200 scale in the non-premium version. What do you think. Please share your thoughts and ideas!

Have a nice day!

Andre Smith

Question

Would a SW Shamu be a better seller as an Herpa NP?

Shamu would be a great seller I think.
Is there "method to the madness" of the NP Herpa releases?
The premiums are invariably alliance members I guess, but what about NP choices, any common thread ion these releases?
Thx

I guess you guys are right. I think that all the SWA liveries would look nice. I just thought the standard SWA livery would stand out.

Have a good one!

Default Good idea, but I wouldn´t buy it

This livery would make a great model, since its colours are different from what we´ve seen so far.

Anyway I wouldn´t buy it, because I have restricted myself to buy only planes that could (!) appear on a German airport (so no SW but next one on my list is the NW WorldPlane).

Secondly I´m waiting impatiently for Airbusses and the MD11 / DC10 or L1011 or TU154 or ... My fleet consists of 14 models so far, of which only 2 are not from Boeing.

But anyway, I keep my fingers crossed for a SW release for you! Just make a suggestion on the HERPA message board.

Good idea Andre!

I would like to see SW color in B737-700s.
Oh, I would love to see it in New blue color too!

Best,
Benjamin
