I have the QF and I just found one of the American B738s and bought it immediately.
It looks sensational.
Can't wait for it to arrive.
I love the HE 737s. Got advised today my Virgin Express B733s were ready to ship. Another can't wait.
Thanks again Steve for the inspiration and Titanic777 for the positive words also.
Tim

Re: HE American Airlines 738
I have to agree that Herpa's 737's are stunning. They really give Gemini Jets a big time run for their money.

Re: HE American Airlines 738
Why is it only me that seems to think Herpa has a problem with the plastic it uses to make the engines and tails out of? In this case, it's just the engines...but if you look closely, the paint for the bright trim accent on the engine and the red line look slightly fuzzy, and it's not the picture. I have a few Herpa models, and that is something that I've noticed with them, the cheap-looking plastic they use. It's most noticeable in white or light shades of color, because the plastic is dyed, not painted. Eh, maybe I'm just too picky on this issue...

Re: HE American Airlines 738
Under the macro Steve, I agree but I also find I can't be bothered disecting good and bad anymore.
Displayed like SteveJ has done, it looks just right which is why I bought mine yesterday.

Well, that's the "Buy what you like, like what you buy" attitude, so good for you  It's funny, but I'll accept flaws from moulds (as long as they're not TOO obvious), and even incorrect paint shades, but I won't go with what I think looks cheap, and misspelled titles.

Re: HE American Airlines 738
Steve, I agree about the plastic on the engines, and the tail, but the tail looks a lot better then ever before. The Virgin express I got looks awsome.

I agree, especially when it comes to the thickness of the blended winglets.

Re: HE American Airlines 738
Nice! But is the nose right? Looks kind of long, droopy or something.
