Yikes! Freaky cockpit.
Again, a misrepresenation as this isn't a BB400.. It is the Bigbird2, or Bigbird/Netmodels release.. |

Love the runway as well, more curves than a drunk snake.

How do you expect to gain the collectorate's approval and support with garbage like this...and all other recently released/announced garbage?
C'mon, if you're (this evil BB twin) gonna come and play, give your best effort, if not go home. In this case get the hell out of the hobby..enough is enough!!

It's not a cockpit, it's a garage door! Too bad, I've been waiting for this.

I like the livery but I would rather see this one produced by the real Big Bird. I did notice that at least they remembered to include the "p" in this time.

That cockpit looks totally weird !! (If the TOP of the cockpit window is heading upwards from this viewing angle, where does it end on the other side? I would love to see a front-on shot.) Rick, Photoshop it and show him what it should look like. Gavin |

Yup, those cockpit windows look very strange. Just wondering if it somehow could be the way the shot was taken. (But I doubt it)
Here is a view of the cockpit from 3 different manufacturers. |

Might also look at the forward cabin windows, they are too far forward...bad printing job.
Come on Big Bird2 or Net Models.........if you want people to buy, you guys need to do some ACTUAL research on the subject, and do some quality control. This model is terrible and the runway in the picture is a joke. Your overall presentation is sub-par...did you not think people would notice poor quality and attention to detail? I collect Hawaiin Airlines but I'm not buying this one. I'm sure there are a few uninformed buyers out there who WILL settle for this and get exited over it...but not most of the collectors here. You people need a new mould that has been researched properly and for god sakes please do some quality control. Another fine release from Big Turd Models!

When I read "BigBird Hawaii Express" I almost had a heart attack in anticipation that a prayer had been answered and I'd FINALLY have a 747 to put next to my Hawaii Express DC-10.
Then I saw the picture.  This time I almost had a heart attack from the disappointment. |

I have more "real" big birds than I care to mention. But just like I always do, if it is a livery/airframe combo I like.....I buy it. You mention the "few uninformed buyers" that will buy this. Your right! But there will be 3 times as many INFORMED people that WILL buy this. Thats a fact. Thats why I love BlueBox/Net Models and the like. They keep puting out what I like. I could give a crap if they are "fakes". Apparently, this means I have lower standards. Oh well. I'm a proud supporter of the money-grabbing pirates.

What's wrong with the cockpit? I like big picture windows on my airliners, makes them look very cartoony.
