Sj Bmi A320

DaveUK · 04-25-2002, 10:29 PM

Does anyone know the reg on the new SJ A320 BMI?
Plus, I dont have any SJ A320s. Is the mould better than Herpas NG?
(Basically I am asking which BMI A320 to get, although I might get them both, providing that they dont look odd together!)
Cheers,
Dave

i dont think herpa has made their A320 into NG yet (if they have, there are not many out)so probably SJ would be better. i have a pair of SJ usairways 320's and they are great!

Dave, even Fanatical Herpa collectors have ALL admited that the NEW Generation Herpa A320 is totally screwed up. The mould is worse than the O.G.

If your going to get either one, go with the StarJets.

It looks awsome !

Yes get the Starjets version the Herpa baby mould sucks big time.

I saw the BMI A320 Herpa and it sucks big time.... get the SJ, it should be better.

Cheers, I'll do that!

Dave definitely go with the SJ.

Unfortunately the Herpa baby buses are easily the worst NG models. They have said they will revise them again, so perhaps you might be able to get a Herpa one in the future. I am planning to get the SJ BMI A320 myself but will go for the Herpa for the BMI A330.

A BMI baby 737 would be nice too, hopefully someone can bring one out.

I've got the SJ A330 and it's one of my all time fave models .... such a shame its the wrong size!
Will have to wait and see if Herpa can better that.

They will look very odd together, so just get the SJ one =)

Fire up the sauldering iron and re mould the nose.

Step One
Mould moulding aluminium over the nose of a SJ A320.

Step Two:
Remove the Al

Step Three:
Heat the herpa nose area up with sauldering iron,
quickly push the nose in to the mould.

Step Four:
once it is moulded,
pull off the Al, and sand, paint, sand and paint,
then spray with finishing paint.
