We need one in SPRITE scheme..

Btw I wonder if there was an aircraft flying around promoting a drink company such as Coca Cola, would they then only serve CoCa Cola products, like :

++I would like some red winde please.
<< We're sorry sir, we've only Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite etc etc ..

I don't get it!

People don't like this and yet they fell over themselves trying to get / buying for big money the Alitalia Ferrari B787.

That is equally a rubbish fantasy jet as this.

What gives with the fickle collectors or "I hate a certain brand cause I've been brainwashed to hate it" crowd in this hobby?

I like these liveries actually.

They were made for a purpose, and no doubt some people who collect Pepsi merchandise will look to collect these as well.

Not all aircraft model collectors will want these, but some will and that is their choice and their right.

If you don't like these models, that too is your choice, but don't go round telling others what they can or cannot buy.

Mike,
If you are addressing me, you misread my post.
I don't have a problem with these PepsiJets at all.
As I said above, I actually think the livery is good and I am the last person to tell anyone else what they should buy when I personally got give a schnick about other opinions about my purchases.

I just don't understand the balance of the collectorate that say/preach/rant that some stuff is fine and other stuff equally of fantasy in nature is great, fantastic/let's mortgage Alabama to buy one.
The ridiculous double standards of some is pathetic.
