Today I received this model and wow, Herpa managed to place the cockpit again too low.
Its incredible, when I was in Dietenhofen I took a picture of the sample and there it was correct. What a shame!

Picture: Top released model, below left sample, right real plane:


... with metal tail (no translucency) but with gap!

if you see the real thing the upper edge of the cockpit windows should be at the same level as the upper edge of the upper deck cabin door...!! rather the upper deck cabin windows are below the upper edge of the cabin door in the real thing. but on the model its gone vice-versa..!!
