Default CX B747-400 SOHK Millennium Edition finally released.

It's 5 years after the Millennium and it's finally come. Glad that I didn't buy the BB one, I'll go to the HK Ticketing office next week and post some pictures once I got it.

I wonder if it is Herpa's new B747 mould ( improved landing gear ). I love the stardard livery in 1:400 but unfortunately it does not come with the new mould.

For those who have the 1:400 CX B747-400 in normal colours, is it a Herpa NG mould?

That's great!

Gosh! I think I'll be spending a fortune at the CX office:

1:400 CX B747-400 regular c/s
1:400 CX B747-400 SOHK Millenium edition
1:200 CX A340-600
Some CX teddy bears...

I need some pics to verify this. I am also concerned they may still sell the old mould in stock and there is no way we can check the model with the sealed box.

This is a bit personal, but Mr CX, didn't you post a picture of a Betsy in 1/200 some days ago? May you kindly tell me where you got that beauty? I am very interested in adding one of those to my collection.

More on the 1/400 forum: I am still waiting for CX to produce sth OTHER than 747s....say, an all metal B-777-300 (with the mould ANA used a while back!), or an all metal A340-600 with the new herpa mould?!?! That would be very welcome.
