Herpa or StarJets 757's

SpaceCat · 08-21-2002, 01:11 AM

Hey gang!!!

I have a serious problem. I cannot decide whether I like the Herpa 757's or StarJets 757's more. I don't like the cockpit windows on the StarJets ones, but I like the cabin windows. I like the Herpa mould, but I don't like the cabin windows. I am only collecting StarJets now, and I can't decide which 757's to collect;

It is a hard call. I need your opinions please! Are the SJ windows out of proportion??

Thanks!

Cat!!!

Ok, I would take starjets. Better quality overall.

Hope this helps

The Herpa 757 is pretty nice, but overall I think I'd go with the StarJets over the Herpa, as I prefer metal over plastic

I think the new generation Herpas are very nice. Pretty much buy what you like both have excellent moulds and are nice models over all.

I will get both if I have money since Herpa and StarJets release different airlines....SJ's is overall better then Herpa, but I like Herpa's landind gears.

yes that's right .i like the SJ ones x times more but when SJ doesn't have a livery Herpa releases i will buy the Herp one.But theres 3 stars for the Herpa one and 10 stars from 10 for the SJ one for me :-)
So far
Starjet

After selling all my HW B757's (the "Rizzy Bird" is the only left) I am very satisfy with all 4 SJ B757's I have.

But after buying my first Netmodel B757 (Air Holland) I'm sure that it won't be my last. The printing is very good. The only minus are the plastic gears.

I'm waiting for the first 757-300 in any scale..Herpa's Continental Airlines!

BTW I have both SJ and herpa 757's and they are both very good.

The livery is incorrect in that where the lines go at 45 degree angles its wrong. The titles are put in the wrong place. The flag is missing. Doors are wrong color, The gear is extremley cheap and flimsy and the wing joint is horrible. The Air Holland was my first netmodels and my last.

Your are correct Sir,
SJ's 757 windshield is visibly out of proportion. HW's 757s are better ( the New Generation ones ).
Anybody can tell about the quality of Netmodels's 757 ?

Starjets are way more detailed but the Herpa 757 is really good as well
