I really find the attitude some of you have concerning this issue very puzzling to me. In your case I'm starting to think you have been out on the desert sun too long, and or, using too many of the items in your signature line...:-)

If Andrew were to release a Chinese reg'd Western 727 and 737 I would still buy it. Period. More for me if you dont. I am a fleet builder of retros, and have gotten good enough decaling that I could easily fix a reg mistake if it bugged me enough. Cant even tell it wasnt original unless you looked through hubble at it. And yes, I have a problem with drugs.

Airwest, with all due respect, you really need to get a life. Did you ever see that "Saturday Night Live" episode circa 1987 with host William "Bill" Shattner? He played himself as "Captain Kirk" at a "Star Trek" convention and all the dudes dressed up as various characters from the show were going crazy asking him questions about the series. The greatest line from that sketch that Shattner said was "You guys gotta get a life!" Dude, it's just a hobby. It's not life or death. Now I can respect your want to see accurate registrations, engines, wings, color schemes, etc but does it really matter in the end? Sure, the model is incorrect but look at all the other great examples Andrew has provided us. It's all good in the end my friend.
