Pulling into the gate a LGA, Herpa has released a stunning model of the AA 738........

Fantastic Steve.

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.

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

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...

QFA388 · 08-03-2007, 07:53 AM

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.

psalover · 08-03-2007, 10:32 AM

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.

QFA388 · 08-03-2007, 10:37 AM

Can you post some pics of the Virgin Exp models pls.

I have ordered and its being shipped as I write. Only saw the sh!!tty HE pics and one poor resolution shot on ebay.

Eagerly waiting the VExp and AA now.

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

..... Hopefully that big chunk of FOD isn't going to get sucked into the engines!

gospodin · 08-04-2007, 04:27 PM

Nice! But is the nose right? Looks kind of long, droopy or something.

I just bought a new Cannon Rebel, and I can't figure out how to make the pics smaller. PM me your e-mail addy, and I'll e-mail them to you. I took some good ones, and even pics of my new Alaska Make a wish. Anybody want to down size these,an put them on here, I'll e-mail them to you.
