Post Herpa releases "fantasy Beluga"

For promotional purpose, the Chinese logistics company Xiamen Wellcorp Logistics Co. Ltd. has ordered a limited edition of 3000 Airbus A300-600ST "Beluga" models

The model carries the company logo and a blue-yellow-black-yellow-blue cheat line with huge chinese letters.

1000 pieces will be available for Herpa Club members.

I agree, I would expect better quality from Herpa.

Thumbs down autographed-chinese-dildo-with-wings-'n-wheels

...and an ugly one at that!
That pregnant bus is a shame.

I'm going to start a "puke-ugly" shelf in my cabinet for these Herpa exclusives.
I can think of 3 models I could add to it immediately.

-This beluga dildo will be first, then, followed in no specific order by:

-Thomas Nurenblablabla purple A300 (although for a very good cause, the model is still puke-ugly)

-Herpa Club model #2 -2002, NWA/KLM morph livery DC-10. (*puke*)

Any-one else care to recommend more models for my "puke-ugly" shelf?

I strongly suggest those who have not opened the picture to see for themselves be mentally prepared for a nervous shock.
Oh my, the aircraft + livery combination is just making the whole release a laughing stock!!!

Are you sure that commercial Beluga is made by HERPA ??? I can´t believe it !!!

Looks more like some illegal work from C & C or any garage-work in China or HK !!!

If there's any chance that Herpa is going to release another fantasy Beluga, this is my suggestion: the goose-like Beluga. Or we can call this " Belugoose"!

I believe many of you have already see the pic before, but it wouldn't hurt to have some fun again!

Cheers,

Can't believe Herpa has accepted this order. It only ruins Herpa's name.

No, that would be their old landing gear.
