I'm waiting for JX's. And like I said with N311MD: THIS ISN'T HOUSE COLORS. I want N211MD. Not its sisterships and other early-build MD-11's. 211, in full purple striping. Nothing less.

The wings and stabs look totally wrong---polished bare metal?

And what's with the yellow-green #2 pylon?

Also, it suffers from the "mis-matched" engine cone problem. And the engine paint doesn't match either--why do #1 and #2 have totally different colors and patterns? And unlike Herpa's 1/200 LH model, they can't use the excuse that they worked from a specific photo---the larger type of exhaust cone wouldn't exist until YEARS after 111MD had been repainted and delivered to FedEx. 111MD could never have had a #2 engine like that.
