Go with what you like cos ultimately, it all depends on you. No point asking people cos they may not have the same taste as you. What you like, may not be what they like and vice versa...

Anyways, I love SJ A340-300 and 777-300. Lan Chile and SAS looks cool. Very sleek and beautiful. The 777-300 is also cool. PAL 747-400 is just so-so. Herpa NG is also good, though I hate the easily breakable wheels. The Herpa you quoted isn't out yet, so I really can't say nuch but must say that, judging from the pictures, the A330s of Thai and Emirates are good..... not too interested in the 717s though.

That's my say.....
