Default Herpa KLM B777-200

Herpa is really improving. I used to have GJ version. But I replaced it with this herpa release. Nice metal wings and especially those correct engines which d o not hit the gound anymore.

I have it, too, and preferred it over the GJ version.

I sure hope that Herpa will be using this mould a lot more often.

I got one too. But there is still a lot of room for HW to improve. I can't get over the plastic parts for which the light can still go thu it. What I like most is the details of the landing gear. I still prefer the GJ engines though which look a lot more realistic.

Herpa should also start adding minute details to its models, now that they've got wonderful moulds. Their Airbus releases are quite detailed, but the Boeings still lack ALOT!

The cockpit windows still bug me...not sure why but the GJ seems much more realistic compared to the prototype but I still love the Herpa new releases-the 744 is awesome.
